HISTORY :

Schelmish is a German medieval folk/metal band, formed in 1999 while celebrating the birthday of DesDemonia's mother. They started playing as a medieval folk band and, used to call theirselves "the fattest medieval folk band in the world" - playing on many medieval markets and festivals and got one of the best known medieval bands in Germany. Someday they decided to combine their music with modern metal and so, the first medieval rock albums were recorded, half medieval folk, half medieval metal. Their lyrics were in German, French, English, Latin and some other old languages. The band split-up in 2012 to found "INVICTUS" band and explore new musical horizons.
