The german gothic rock band ASP created the album Zaubererbruder, which is entirely about the folk tale of Krabat.
Man, that album is so good that I almost want to say it would be worth learning German just to understand it, but I’m afraid even then then cultural references might be lost on people.
Definitely a masterpiece however. Every track just clicks right where it ought to, and the story that’s told (while ending slightly different from the canon version) is fantastic. Absolute 10/10, and I’m not even a goth or a metalhead.
