sachavonkarl74 Naxen is a German trio playing classic "Norwegian" style BM with doom passages, which in my opinion adds a twist to the oh-so-stomped-chosen-path of the so-called 2nd wave black metal horde. It's almost too slow at times for me, but I can really appreciate the technical prowess from these relatively new guys. The second part, I agree, is where they really stand out! Weiter so! Favorite track: A Shadow In The Fire, Pt. I (Scars of Solitude).

Entleiber The band with the unforgettable logo and the alliteration concept (don't overdo it, guys!) released their first full-length and it slices emotions like grief, sadness and despair and serves them with a fresh taste. Irresistible drive and melodies - getting addicted to it.
Personally, I prefer the howled, whispered and shouted vocals of the last two tracks - more intense in my opinion. This band knows what they're aiming at, and do so with full force. Favorite track: A Shadow In The Fire, Pt. I (Scars of Solitude).

mourner Emotionally intense and musically well crafted. Songs full of dense captivating darkness and driven by the bleak power of aggression and despair.

-----------------Lyrics-------------------- Let the illusion beknown in a language of scars A sigh in the abysses mimicked by the serpents’ tongues The simmering resentment to ruin the repentant one An offering of untamed reluctance to an empty heart Tearing deeper in this realm of gloom where tears seep And whilst it is from a thousand wounds that we bleed And there is death extending And there is unyielding emptiness And there is darkness waiting And there is chaos reaching out Now in the moment of imminent death A glance of honest regret in fading eyes Now in the weaves of harsh tragedy This heinous concept of dead hope remains obsolete We shall not pity the soul that leaves Let desolation beknown as the essence of life A jarring song in the deepness echoed by the feeble throats The smoldering discontent to elate the cold downhearted one An offering of sullen redemption to a withering heart Was it worth the loss? Isn’t it all worthless? Our lives are nothing but welking leaves falling from the tree of life We are the great lie at the heart of trust We are surrounded by emptiness Underneath reigns terror
2.
-----------------Lyrics-------------------- The answers you seek are hidden beyond grasp While the dreams you bleed are mated with failure Aghast at this sight you turn numb to the touch …And tragedy will befall us all while we watch inert in the dark The shadows you feed are those you crawl in While the wounds you heal are the gates to grief Aghast at this sight you turn numb to the touch …And tragedy will befall us all while we watch inert in the dark I surpassed my chance to end this a long time ago Tempting dreams of sin are nothing but a shadow of the past Faltering weak towards the void with nothing but emptiness in my heart. In this vastness i am only reflected into the undiluted sea of forlornness Deathless falling towards the eternal darkness Strengthless flawing towards the gleaming loneliness
3.
-----------------Lyrics-------------------- As the blood flows down from The mountains of reminiscence All that is left is to ponder on my mistakes Pain is the most bitter truth i have ever known and nothing needs me Absorbed in silence To speak from pillars Wallow in blood To always wish for the worst When dusk is like a dagger Sever the tongues of wisdom Seal the mouths with ash To abort all hope Amongst the sun i will only find bleakness And far away wait the ones that will come back To extinguish the light and to breed darkness Loss is the most soulless god i have ever known and nothing needs me I see the gates unfolding with eyes like tombs I watch the fire bursting with shadows and wounds I am the one that you lost trust in I gained a shadow that does not rest Life is a severe sermon lectured by death It is another lesson in lessening At least i tried once with all my will And i’ve seen no grave but life itself No greater grace than our grief No greater chasm than our sin
4.
-----------------Lyrics-------------------- Our wretched bodies serve no purpose They collapse while we scream and perish as we fall from favor to failure They withhold us from the fate of flesh Pregnant with darkness there is only fear Standing now before another grave 
Feeling like a lesser being shrouded by the cold
 Womblike silence in the dead of night Where fire awaits The only throne will be claimed by death Where the sun haunts The only dream we are capable of Where fire awaits We are petrified beneath a brutal will To loose one after another in time And nothing will ever change An abhorrent swarm will fill this world You see the shadow in the fire When even weak will falls apart As you hear the truthful heartbeat fade Sentient flesh bounden to flesh For we all have been deceived We can all fall into the dark Now only fire awaits For a futile faith lingers deep In the unsettling depths Abide the hoists of winter Now only fire awaits When the sky unfolds and kneels before the beast in the remnants of times Seeing beyond solitude, sorrow and grief There is exaltation to be gained Once we sacrifice soma to flame
