:: ::
:: Since the 1990s the old banners of ancestral glory have been ::
:: raised to the highest point on the hill. However, even ::
:: desired by many, few managed to harvest their Edelweiss from ::
:: the sacred soil, the one that keeps the secrets long ::
:: forgotten by the people, soil which was baptized by the ::
:: blood shed over the millennia and which 1945 had its last ::
:: great baptism. ::
:: ::
:: Few are worthy of carrying these banners, few are those who ::
:: know how to listen to these secrets and transmit them from ::
:: their spirit to the outside. Few can call themselves ::
:: werewolves. Athalwolf is one of those who have these ::
:: attributes. ::
:: ::
:: Since 1998, Athalwolf has been transmitting the purest of ::
:: his belief in superiority. With its roots in Greece, ::
:: Athalwolf understood that as Heidegger defended, superiority ::
:: is not just a physical attribute but a spiritual attribute ::
:: and quality. And over the last 24 years he has offered ::
:: through music the best of his attribute. ::
:: ::
:: The year 2022 was a year of great work for Wolfnacht ::
:: participating in a split with Goatmoon and Thy Serpent and ::
:: releasing two simultaneous albums, Soldatenlieder and ::
:: Blutgebuden. This review is about this second title. (The ::
:: detailed review of the magnificent ôSoldatenliederö will be ::
:: in the next issue of Black Metal Terror magazine). ::
:: ::
:: Unlike ôEine Flamme im Dunkelnö, a 2020 album, in which it ::
:: presented a sound closer to the traditional Greek black ::
:: metal with a clearer and more audible production, ::
:: Blutgebuden brings a more complex sound, with a not so clear ::
:: production (mainly in the first two songs) which may at ::
:: first cause some difficulty for the listener but which is ::
:: soon overcome because what emanates from each song is ::
:: something of its own, not so obvious. ::
:: ::
:: ôFeuer und Stahlö starts demanding that everyone march, with ::
:: a faster dynamic that decreases throughout the song ending ::
:: in a box marking the soldiersÆ march; ôEine Volk, Eine ::
:: Reich, Eine Fuhrerö has a dynamic very similar to the ::
:: previous song. ôDer Grimmig Todö, an old German song whose ::
:: composition dates back to the Renaissance, has its ::
:: lugubrious version with a slightly slower musicality ::
:: compared to previous songs, more complex drum tempos and ::
:: guitar riffs marking each stanza. ôEine K÷nig unter der ::
:: Eicheö is a classic Wolfnacht song with RAC tempos ::
:: interspersed with guitar riffs in more traditional heavy ::
:: metal grooves, with melodies presenting an epic, almost ::
:: apocalyptic background. ::
:: ::
:: ôDer verwundete Wandererö maintains the same dirty rac/heavy ::
:: metal atmosphere (something traditional in Greek black ::
:: metal), as if it wanted to convey to the listener a sadness ::
:: in the chosen melodies (something that whoever purchases the ::
:: cd can understand from the cover broadcast on the background ::
:: colors gray). ::
:: ::
:: ôWaldesnachtö is a song that transcends. I had previously ::
:: heard it on YouTube and in my opinion it is the best song on ::
:: this album. ItÆs a song that resembles a war march sung on ::
:: the battlefronts and its ending should be translated by ::
:: everyone who doesnÆt know German because the message is ::
:: strong and perpetual and serves as a summary of this record ::
:: and that can be described as donÆt let the world take away ::
:: your will to sing what represents you and what feeds your ::
:: blood and your spirit. ::
:: ::
:: ôDann bleiben, was dir Schlimmes auch geschieht, ::
:: Stets rein gestimmt die Saiten deiner Brust, ::
:: Und auch nach trⁿben Zeiten wird dein Lied ::
:: Nicht Σrmer sein an froher SΣngerlust.ö ::
:: ::
:: ôDie WΣchter Europasö places, in the same way as mentioned ::
:: above, a tragic, epic feeling in each melody expressed (with ::
:: a similar musical structure to the tracks ôEine K÷nig unter ::
:: der Eicheö and ôDer verwundete Wandererö). ItÆs as if this ::
:: song demands that each of us take our individual journey ::
:: towards our tombstone carved in this sacred ground, which ::
:: must be honored with this blood and a daily spiritual ::
:: battle, keep the front up because we will not be alone. A ::
:: great ending to this great record. ::
:: ::
:: Thus, Blutgebuden, through its complexity, is an epic, ::
:: tragic, dramatic record, it is as if the Supreme Leader ::
:: himself, since Shambhala was returning to govern the end of ::
:: time and calling for Ragnarok, which began many years ago. ::
:: The end of this song makes that clear. Only the blind and ::
:: foolish havenÆt realized it yet. ::
:: ::
:: Athalwolf already noticed this feeling and turned it into ::
:: music. ::
:: ::
:: Mandatory and only for the strong. ::
:: ::
