Black Metal

1994-1995 – the golden years when black metal had reached the peak of its splendor and its essence – in these years came out the best masterpieces of the historic Scandinavian bands like DARKTHRONE, MAYHEM, MARDUK and so on. Among these realities there were also the Swedish Abruptum who decided to conceive of black metal in a completely different form, even more obscure and malignant than the genre that was emerging. Two well-known members of the Scandinavian scene (It, founder of “True Satanist Horde” and Evil, better known as Morgan – founding member of mighty Marduk) joined forces to give birth to two masterpieces of pure chaotic darkness – “Obscuritatem Advoco Amplectère Me” (1993, recorded in 1992) and “In Umbra Malitiae Ambulabo, in Aeternum in Triumpho Tenebrarum” (1994, recorded in 1993). Euronymous from Mayhem immediately understood the uniqueness and authenticity of Abruptum and decided to submit the Swedish duo to his historic label “Deathlike Silence Productions” and release the the two full-lengths.

“Kyffhäuserreich” was created between 1996 and 1997, while I was still in prison. Born out of a yearning to be far removed from everything modern, I read many old legends and scholarly writings about Emperor Frederick I, known as Barbarossa. Driven by the desire for a resurrection of that bygone era, I transformed this longing into music and lyrics, creating “Kyffhäuserreich.” I wrote the lyrics and composed the music (except for the parts contributed by Unhold) as a tribute to the Kyffhäuser and to join in the old Germans’ wish that the emperor, in these miserable times, would rise from his long slumber in the mountain with sword and army to lead the people into a better future.

To dispel further lies and misunderstandings: JFN had no part in the creation of this work.
