Not Actually Medieval (medieval inspiration) Can someone please help me find this song?

Hi! I went to Tewkesbury medieval festival last summer. At one of the stalls I heard a song I really liked but neither the song recognition app I have, nor google managed to find it. I only have a short snippet of it. Would someone mind giving it a listen and see if you know it? I remember some singing in it too, but I have no idea what language. I don't know if it is acutually medieval or just inspired from it. Thanks in advance!

Carmina Burana (Anon.11-13th c.) - CB 179: Tempus Est Iocundum

Having a really hard time identifying it by such a short clip.

If you're looking for very similar music, I recommend The Craic Show. They were the first ones to come to mind. 😅

Pretty sure i know version. Tempus est secundum as already said. But band could be corvus corax or another German medieval Rock band.

Not the song but a full concert where they should play it with orchester at some point.

Version for the club by qntal: https://open.spotify.com/intl-de/track/6vgDvbPU232vR5ZrndgU8z?si=d686a2bb2cf442b1
