The atmosphere of this album is fantastic. Makes you feel like you're knee-deep in the trenches drenched in mud, filth, sweat, and blood. Truly encapsulates the horrors of World War I, and the fact that the lyrics of some of the songs are taken from old war letters really adds to the authenticity.

This duo from Berlin is playing raw black metal reminiscent of the second wave, yet the production is crystal clear, with some nice guitar riffs and occasional tremolo picking, the drums are also well distinct, the raspy vocals right in the typical tones, not too much in the background, like in some low-fi old school style. It's slower, but captivating. This is the duo's sophomore album, 4 long track actually, released already in 2017. Lyrics are in German, aber natürlich! sachavonkarl74

Another Teutonic gem I just discovered, "Totenwache" (is it a dead guard?) as I would translate it from German "Totenwache", is a black metal outfit hailing from Hamburg. This album is a fine and well-crafted mix of the right amount of melodies and roughness, distilled to perfection. At first they may sound almost generic, but after a few listens all the technical prowess and multi-layered complexity surfaces to delight us. Highly recommended! sachavonkarl74
