TABERNIS about “Mel Obscurum (Palästinalied)”: “We have covered the instrumental version of this iconic medieval masterpiece, which is known to everyone. Out of deep respect for the original work, we decided to adapt it to our own style. In our version, the music is interwoven with a text evoking the season of our Dark Hive: Vespera—the rest, the twilight. As the cold covers the land, the bees huddle together to protect their Queen and preserve the heart of the hive.”

Folk duo TABERNIS channel the Middle Ages with their new single, “Mel Obscurum (Palästinalied)”. The second single off of their upcoming album, Seasons of the Dark Hive, out April 24, 2026 via Napalm Records, shows their alluring devotion to the craft, as it is a rendition of an actual medieval song! Their version of celebrated German poet Walther von der Vogelweide’s 13th-century “Palestine Song”, one of the most famous surviving medieval songs, bestows a special historicism upon TABERNIS’ alluring debut.
