Saltatio Mortis
Saltatio Mortis Wacken 2014In 2014, Saltatio Mortis will rock the W:O:A for the third time. The band plays medieval or folk rock and is already known outside the medieval scene: The newest album of the band hit the charts on position one! We’re curious about how they will top this in the future and we’re looking forward to their stunning performance at Wacken!
