Vágtázó Halottkémek ('Galloping Coroners') is a Hungarian rock band, inspired by the ancient culture of the magyars and huns for its music.
The music of the VHK is called to life by the attraction of the completion of life. It is a natural music, born by the creative power of Nature. In the sense as Bela Bartok wrote: "the ethnic music is a natural phenomenon, the result of the formative activity of the unconsciously active natural force". The deepest self-expression reaches back to this natural, cosmic force and has an elementary, magical power. This is why we call the music we live as magical folk-music.
The band emerged at 1975, finding instinctively its path to play instinctive primeval music liberating the elementary powers of nature creating ourselves and revolting to its high completion in a free spontaneity and overwhelming energy. The VHK discovered a new method of playing music, which is not a simple improvisation but - in its best moments - a completely free creation of music born on stage, liberating the deepest musical creative power. Besides these elements, the VHK also plays more or less pre-written songs. This music is called many times as shamanistic ethno or psychedelic hardcore, but it is in reality an unrestricted outburst of life energy. This is not only a music but rather an attitude to grasp the essence of life with our deepest nature and let it grow by its own laws. The group says it is a magical folk-music, a cosmic vision about the role of earthly life on the destination of the Universe. It develops in a sovereign way as a self-revelation with its elementary power. The VHK is a distinguished cultic band in Hungary as well as in Germany.
