    A couple of months ago I was going from Czech Republic to Venice by an overnight bus. We passed the Austria-Italy border at around 3am. I couldn't get much sleep because of the cramped seat conditions, but I was half-asleep and listening to this album. Watching the Alps outline in the night to this soundtrack was an absolutely majestic feeling.

    My great grandfather was a "ragazzo del 99" (1899 generation) the youngest possible men that went to war on the italian army, during one of the many infamous and sadly pointless italian suicide charges an Austrian grenade (i suppose a model 17 eirhandgranate) exploded near him and a piece of sharpnel destroyed his right ear leaving him deaf.
    He liked to think he never killed anyone, just a boy in a greyish green uniform pointing a dirty carcano at his fellow men in bluish grey uniforms because he had no choice, no one did. Even if men fell in front of his sights how could he know for sure if it was his bullet? it could have been the soldier next to him, the mg nests, the artillery, it could have been accidental friendly fire or even the treacherous terrain itself... Almost like if the mountains were angry and disappointed giants of stone and dirt killing both, regardless of uniform, flag or language.
    Never again.

      Some of my ancestors were also there on the Isonzo front, albeit on the other side of the trenches. As far as the "family history" could tell, they came home as different men. The brutal terrain and the war left a mark on them. They were also 18-19 year old boys, fresh out of the school, thrown into combat in one of the most challenging fronts of the Great War.
      A street in my hometown (Debrecen, Hungary) is still named as Doberdó, commemorating their valiant, bloody - and rather pointless - struggle.
      Never again, indeed.

    The speech in the beginning was recorded on 16th Feb 1916, spoken by Karl Franz Joseph of Habsburg (then heir to the Emperor of Austria-Hungary, later known as Karl I.) for an organization that supports widows and orphans.
    Text freely translated by me:
    "I was at all fronts, with all troops of our glorious army. I saw all nationalities of the far monarchy heading fully united for a great goal, a glorious peace. In the eyes of all soldiers, pugnacity and confidence in victory could be seen. One heard expressions of the deep love towards our adored, highest lord of war and of the unlimited faith in god from the mouth of each of these heroes. Also admirable are the heroes of the back lands, the silent endurers, who, through the war, either lost their most beloved or live in constant fear and worry about their relatives. Worthy of this great era is the war aid, where everyone that is unable to defend the fatherland with sword in hand, strives to lessen the severe woes of our virtuous warriors through infinite benefaction."

    This album paints a horrific picture of the horrors of war and replicates the feelings of anger, fear, and sorrow. It fills me with a deep melancholy, but also with motivation. I can just imagine seeing mutilated corpses falling down into the dirt and soiling the earth with streams of crimson. Among the corpses of young soldiers, with bloodstained uniforms, visible wounds made by bullets and bayonets, the soldier's faces are permanently painted with terrifying expressions of horror.
    Definitely one of my favorite BM releases in recent memory. One of the best USBM releases of all time.

    My grandfather, born in 1893, took part in some of the bloodiest battles on the Western Front before joining the French Air Force in 1917 and fighting alongside the US forces. He was rewarded for several acts of bravery (saved a comrade under enemy fire, first soldier to reach the enemy lines, fought alone against six German fighters in his plane...). During WWII he joined the French Resistance and died of influenza in the 70s not without having kept after-effects after having survived the crah of his plane.He never talked about what he had done, I discovered his past with my father many years later. Every time I listen to this album I think of him and the millions of others who sacrificed their youth whatever their side.

    In Silence I hunt
    Holding my breath
    Concealed I am death
    Eyes of an eagle
    Searching for prey
    Through sights of iron
    Hidden in grey
    Through forests and fog
    The smoke and the smog
    A single shot
    From your blind spot
    All becomes quiet
    Except a cold breeze
    A hunter in silence
    Hidden among the trees
    Nothing but prey in my sights
    A tracker at night
    Haunting the cliffs
    Exploiting weaknesses
    Encamped in mist
    Saluting your officers
    Simplifies my job
    Take aim with my rifle
    His life I will rob
    A mountian of fire
    I take my revenge
    Chamber a round
    And look through the lens
    My homeland invaded
    By foreign empires
    A silent assassin
    Behind the barbed wire
    A vanguard sharpshooter
    With nothing to lose
    I collect your medals
    Souvenirs I choose
    Cloaked in silence
    A hunter's gaze
    Cloaked in silence
    A sniper's last days
    Cloaked in silence
    Never a sound
    Cloaked in silence
    Welcome to the hunting ground
    Searching for glory
    As blood covers the snow
    The peaks and praries
    Of my alpine home
    Searching for glory
    I hold my breath
    Through meadows and hilltops
    The alps are your death

      Do you really think atmospheric black metal requires more technicality in order to be good, or even to be actively listened to? Its artistic value lies in its immersion: the thickness of its atmospheres; the depths of its soundscapes which each note, chord progression, guitar layer, the fuzz and reverb, etc. all work together in order to meticulously craft with a sort of aural paintbrush. The slow, droning kind of atmoblack you allude to is meant to open a portal to other worlds, surrealist planes…
      Minenwerfer-which definitely isn’t war metal-is great in its own way, but I still think bands and projects like Paysage d’Hiver, Darkspace, The Ruins of Beverast, Trist (the German one), Arkhtinn, Gnaw Their Tongues, and so on would wipe the floor with it. Ambient and atmospheric black metal are vast, vast subgenres and-at least in my book-usually the pinnacle of the genre.

The goal was what we see today coming to fruition: destroying with migration the economy, culture and demography of the leading country of Europe, then the whole continent, according to the Coudenhove-Kalergi plan. It's genocide. These criminals claim to aim for diversity, while aiming to mix every culture to create only one monstrous hybrid. Claim to defend liberty, while with PC (original name: repressive tolerance), cancel culture they censor every voice except the neocommunist ones.

    This is the most beautiful side of Black Metal. It shows that this genre has so much more to offer than non-stop blastbeats, tremolo picking the same riff for 7 minutes and dull satanism for rebellious teenagers (nothing against elaborated satanism though!). And it fits the theme of war perfectly: there's no honour and glory in war, only pain, death and misery. This album depicts the brutal truth through history, it's just the right way to deal with this subject, and it totally gets to me. Thank you for sharing this piece of art!
