Parzival is a band from Copenhagen, Denmark. Their musical style is somewhat reminiscent of that of Slovenian pioneers Laibach, but differs from it in that it has a less electronic sound, and incorporates elements of medieval music, Gregorian chants, and an overall epic feel. All of the bands lyrics are in German and Latin, to suit the groups highly Wagnerian style.
The core of the band consists of three people, originally from Russia, but quite a few Danish guest musicians appear on their albums.
Though hard to define, the band’s music appeals mainly to the goth, metal, neo-folk and industrial scenes, and has achieved a modest cult following within their respective subcultures.[citation needed]
The band was earlier known as Stiff Miners, releasing two albums (Giselle and Vox Celesta) under that moniker. Their current name comes from Wolfram von Eschenbach's 13th century German poem Parzival.
