VARGNATT - Grausammler, CD

Artwork illustrations by Pascal Hauer.

After two demos and an EP German Vargnatt return with the anticipated follow up 'Grausammler'. The first full length manifests a new level in the history of the band. Even though the songs are rather puristic the music reveals its depth - dreamscapes woven in desolation, sorrow and hope. Greatly influenced by the early Burzum Era as well as Ulver's Nattens Madrigal „Grausammler“ draws the listener into a stream of memorable lead guitars surrounded by harsh vocals. A warm bass-guitar crafts the songs and the drumming by Wiedergaenger (Total Negation, Nachts, ex-Auvandril) rounds it off. Fragile string and choir performances done by "H.es.a.e. (Nachtreich, Ex-Eudaimony) enclose the sum.

Tracklist:
1. Weltverloren
2. Allein in mir
3. In der Irre
4. Vor den Toren
5. Grauwandler
6. Grausammler

"In a word, Grausammler is a marvel. It’s rooted in the black metal of decades past, but repeatedly transcends the confines of the genre. The music also has staying power — it will not wear out its welcome.” NCS
