Apocalyptic Steel

Description

NARGAROTH is the project of Rene "Ash" Wagner, created in Germany in 1996 and driven by nearly three decades of raw, uncompromising black metal. 'Apocalyptic Steel' is an album that refused to stay buried. Recorded over a weekend at Trident Studios in Pacheco, California, in September 2014, the album remained forgotten on a hard drive in the United States, while the album 'Era of Threnody' took priority. Years later, the recordings resurfaced.The drums were re-recorded in Las Vegas, the vocals and mixing finalized at AMP Studios in Duisburg, and 12 years after its first sessions, the album is finally here. And this is no leftover scrap. This is NARGAROTH in its purest form: nine tracks of raw, no-frills metal, in the vein of early Judas Priest, Accept, Deicide, and Obituary. From the predatory menace of "Twisted Steel" to the war cry studded with band names in "Metalheart," from the relentless historical weight of "Dresden" to the poignant Germanic nostalgia of "Requiem Germania," this album has nothing to prove and loses nothing in pretension. Recorded quickly, without frills, and finalized on its own terms.For fans of DARKTHRONE, MAYHEM, ACCEPT, MOTORHEAD, DEICIDE.
