Black Metal

Resembling an ancient agony, in eternal dying splendor, these entities have crossed the southern night skies to recite a work entitled “Ensomhet” one of the ancient passages adorned with darkness and cruelty. This opus to the ancient ones hovers over the distant eyes of the great black dragon, the eternal poisonous sleep of the gods exalted in cold cacophonous stormwinds, each of the orchestrations constitutes the black spell of the primordial realms and the majestic countenance, of vitrified prayers beyond from the southern mountains eroded and sunken by fate, where primitive man completed his transmigration in the mysteries and secrets of possession…

Since their formation in 2007, MINENWERFER have pursued a proud ‘n’ pure vision of black metal idiosyncratically focused on World War I – idiosyncratic, in the sense that the band hail from America but mostly sing in German. What has resulted is a startlingly accomplished canon that has quietly built itself into prolific proportions, with their first album arriving in 2010, followed by albums in 2012 and 2019, and a slew of split releases and EPs in the interim.

Of those many short-length releases, Der Rote Kampfflieger is the oldest and perhaps most curious. Here, MINENWERFER offered the new track “Ace of Aces,” the reworked “Albatros in Flammen,” and two very surprising covers: deep martial industrial artist Striider’s “Schüzengraben” and legendary shredder Yngwie J. Malmsteen’s early scorcher “I am a Viking.” MINENWERFER for sure have their own identifiable sound.

Lovecraft.
