Nargaroth - Black Metal Ist Krieg (A Dedication Monument)


Yes, armageddon is coming on earth…or better to say, it’s the impression you have by listening this album. Well, that could be seen as well as positive as negative. In the case of Nargaroth it’s definitively positive. This german band released here its masterpiece. This album is in my opinion the best of their already long career.
Nargaroth’s Black Metal Ist Krieg is an awesome album that every Black Metal fan should check out, it’s definitely worth owning. Each song on this release is full of emotions, sadness, hatred and misanthropy. The guitar riffs and the vocals are depressive but beautiful at the same time and Kanwulf really expresses his thoughts through his music, that’s what makes this album so great. In the booklet, Kanwulf tells us a few things about his past and comments on every song. That’s pretty interesting to read (if you understand German :p).
I think. It’s an album of new material, but it’s not a concept album like "Herbstleyd"; in fact, it feels like even more of a mixed bag than "Amarok" was as there is a wide range of material on here. Four covers and six new originals make up this 70-minute disc, and the styles cover almost the entire gamut of approaches to black metal. Bookending this album are two songs in the purest spirit of black metal, "Black Metal Ist Krieg" and "Possessed by Black Fucking Metal". Both are streamlined, simple, aggressive songs dripping with hatred.
FUCKING AWSOME ALBUM!!!
