Ascension with folk rock: the band HORCH live on stage

HORCH is considered one of the formative groups in German medieval folk rock. Long before today's medieval rock bands conquered the stages, the band developed their own delicate folk rock style, which continues to inspire musicians to this day. Many of their songs are now covered - a clear sign of their importance in the scene.
