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.
I'm feeling it...
FANTASTIC. Got me goosebumps.
Wish to relive that memory of yours. But no doubt this will be played when I find myself in snowy mountains somewhere.
I will soon go ski hiking in a finnish tundra, in some food break I will listen to this.
I had a very similar experience last summer driving from Hungary to Venice through Austria. It was day time for me, but driving through those colosal cliff faces while listening to this album blast from the speakers was an unforgetable experience.
when you choose to listen based off the album cover 👍
I was expecting some time of patrotic song, but this not bad.
@@Reuel-Jazwa They live in the US.
@@Patrichor777 😤 depression
It's hard to pronounce the album names of many black metal albums lol so the album covers can be a good (and often accurate) telling of what it'll be themed on/sound like
Same
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.
That's... That's pretty gay.
@@CrossHolder92 So funny! Your one of those that feel so brave, powerful, ready to war against ... well, ... someone! Right? But always ready to go! Full power !! Always ready to that war that you feel you have the balls to do, that you kind of want when listening to this music or watching stuff on TV seated in your couch, right? You are so courageous! So manly! Nothing like those pussys that went to REAL war and came back in pieces, or those other cowards that returned hating everything about war and about killing other human objects like them for no clear reason! But yeah... fucking gay...
@@CrossHolder92 Pathetic... That's you

Came for the album cover, stayed for the melodic metal, then heard the guitar solo and went and bought the album.

UPDATE: Thank you all very much for all the positive words. I have started my life over in many ways and it's the best thing to ever happen to me. I'm making it. Thank you again 🤘.
I am new to black metal and honestly it's saving my life right now. Going through some really tough times at the moment and the emotions and feelings I get from this is guiding me through each day. Thank you.
Chin up man! 🤘
Stay strong. Never give up.
This is not the best way to get through these moments. This is an example of curing evil with evil. But yep, have to admit that afterwards you will grow up. Take heart \m/
God or whoever bless you my dude! You are worth it.
@@TheSevensknot what a ridiculous comment,,srsly man,,if the guy finds sanctuary in this who tf are you to say otherwise
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."
That's a very interesting fact, thank you very much
Do you have any knowledge of where this speech can be found? I Was looking for it on yt and few other places but I failed...
Who are the heros of the black land?
@@waerloga489 "back" not "black". The heroes of the back lands are supposed to be the people not directly associated with fighting battles but supporting the war effort in other ways (e.g. economically)
@@sarkophagus1624 oh that makes more sense thanks for the info
This aesthetic is what black metal needs back in its veins.
Yes. The dread, the misanthropy, the glimpses into the abyss and the Absurd ... these keep me coming back for more Black Metal. Too many of these "Black" bands would rather be playing Death or Speed.
elevator music with some german speaking over it? lol
The logo is legible.
Eh, black metal could use less German military aesthetic and nazi/nazi-adjacent bullshit.
@@eliasjokelainen8541Bullshit. That is true for only some bands dude. Thousands of other bands have nothing to do with European or white culture. Nature, war, suicide, depression, fantasy themes. None of that has anything to do with what you're talking about.
just in case you're interested and it hasn't been mentioned yet. the albumcover is an original photo from ww1, caption reads "Österreichischer Schütze am Hang des Gisnitz" - "Austrian sniper at the slope of the Gisnitz". Gisnitz (today Monte Scinauz) being a mountain in the Karnische Alpen in Italy south of Carinthia.
THX MAN!
Thank you for the Info. Just a quick reply because German is my mothertongue : Schütze in terms of a hundret years ago is better translated as "Riflemen" i.e explaining a light infantry role.
Monte Scinauz or as we locals call it, Šinavc
@@Baqization In Südtirol, the German speaking part of northern Italy, every town still has its own Schützenkompanie, a cultural association of people who march in parades with historical uniforms of the Tiroler Schützen to preserve the local history and identity
@@pivkemrzli2297 you locals in the province of Udine, just south of the Austrian border, speak slovenian ? Interesting..i mean one would think you speak some german dialect or italian dialect or ladino or such. Cool
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.
It's a blessing when someone as talented as this decides to make black metal.
Album photo was probably taken from Dolomiti front region, by the looks of the mountain peeks. In Isonzo front, exploding rocks killed more soldiers than ammunition itself. There are still soldiers entombed in those mountains. My grand-grandfather is somewhere on Doberdob. Doberdob, slovenskih fantov grob. Never again.
Very solid album though, love to hear the bass guitar so prominent.
We are going to Doberdob this summer with our history group, I shall visit your great grandfather's supposed grave and pay respects to his bravery, honor and valor even in death. God bless him.
@@tbt0380 Thank you very much for your kindness.
Crazy man. You should go walk the region and tread the same ground one day. Who knows what you’ll learn about yourself.
@@ChuckBeefOG Since I am a keen hiker and living quite near that battlefield I can say only this: Mountain plane Batognica was lowered by 23m with giant explosion during a battle. In caverns there are still thousands of men berried alive. Years ago I helped out speleological team to reach some of those caverns. Uniforms and bones, pictures and bunks. Crucifix and praying bids.All of them where berried again by Republic of Italy. You can't imagine how much that view affected my life and who I am. War is hell.
Red-eyed Blackbird Thanks for sharing. That’s a once in a lifetime opportunity to be a part of that. Your great grandfather would be proud and is resting in peace.
This is one of those albums you have to listen to beginning to end without interruption. An hour of my life well spent.

Listen to..........and repeat.
As all BM should be listened to.

How the fuck did I not hear about this earlier?! This is unbelievable. Black metal with solos needs to come back more. The entire aesthetic of this from art, to mood to music has blown me away.
11:00-12:45. Goddamn. This has to be one of the best guitar solos I've heard in the past few years.
Agreed. Imo the solos really add character, which is unusual, because ive never usually liked solos in metal, but theyre so well played here that it makes it gut wrenching.

I listened to this in memory of my great-grandfather who fought on Isonzo, Piave and Vittorio Veneto. A single Italian bullet or stray shrapnel from exploding shell would've erased me and my forebears from existence, forever. I'm glad that he came back home alive from a 3 year long hell on Earth and 5 year long post-war captivity.
Respect for our ancestors, italians or not who fought this horrible war.
my great-grandfather was one of the first to be sent to France when the war broke out, even made it through the Somme alive. He was never the same after it though, lost a lot of friends and saw some horrible shit.
To think how many millions of people never existed because of the wars makes me always extremely sad...even if their ancestors had sometimes been killed for a just cause like in national liberation, revolutions or some civil wars...
Respect, glad you’re here
Jarvis Piazza and yet the universe decided a certain Austrian in the German Army wasn’t to be killed before he could fuck everything up again and worse.
My great grandfather served in WWII. One day when it was his turn to drive the platoon he was cleaning his rifle and his best friend Maynard offered to drive the platoon instead. They ran over a mine or got shot by a rocket can’t remember been awhile since I’ve read his journals. Anyways, thank you Maynard for unknowingly sacrificing your life for my grandfathers. Without you my whole existence wouldn’t even had happened. I owe everything to you and all of the countless others. Fighting a losing war..

All wars are losing wars. Scared men dying on the front lines for land or ideology or religion, many of which have no stake in any of those things.
@@PhyrexianPhreak wrong. The allies fought for an ideology at the behest of western Jewry, while the Germans fought for their volk's freedom from tyranny.

Alone
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
Wonderfull thank u

reading the comments of folks telling us about their grandfathers while this music plays is an utterly haunting experience. I will cherish it
Like fr, reading WW1 and WW2 experiences from all sides, from Italians to Germans to Americans, amazing
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.
Your Grandfather was a warrior! Respect
I am a Pole living in the western part of Poland. My great great grandfather was a soldier in German Army. He haven't got a choise, he couldn't stay at home with his wife and rest of the family. I know that my ancestor fought at Verdun. And survived this hell. Men which fought in even not his war.
And I've got only one message for all of you. NEVER AGAIN... peace ✌

Beksinski is my favourite Pole.
You won't even need to listen to anything beyond "Der Blutharsch" to realise you've come across....A MASTERPIECE.
Still listening to it, 4 years later... What is amzing with Minenwerfer is both the beautiful music and the very special topic of WWI, but not focused on the trench war. In France, we mainly consider Verdun and the Poilus, but WWI was far larger than that.
The song "Cloaked in Silence" is a masterpiece.
In Memory of my relatives from Tuscany that fought in the northern front during the WWI.
Greetings from a Brazilian living in Austria.
I’m sorry but Kaiserjägerlied is the best piece of music I’ve ever heard in my life. That transition from acoustic back into BM is just f*cking majestic. I was in a very dark place when I heard it, I almost cried.
Same feeling, also the clean deep vocals along the guitar riff and drums -is another fucking level goddamn
This album is so good it brings tears to my eyes at every listening, Kaiserjägerlied is one of my favorite tracks as well

Black Metal Promotion, THANK YOU for exposure to countless great bands and albums I would have not found otherwise.
This is one of many gems!
After this war and the annexation of the south tyrol many men gouged their eyes out or cut a hand off just to escape further military responsibilities in new wars, so bleak was this war...
Thats what my great grandfather told my father.
Never again shall wars be fought between brothers & neighbors.

Black metal fits the mood of the Great War so good. It captures the rotten smell of death in trenches, the sheer futility and pointlessness of another charge at enemy trench, the tragedy of the war.
@XEREBRL 100%. Black metal is the antithesis of what we're brainwashed to believe. It's real; violent and beautiful. Just as nature intended. When you fight nature you lose. Accept it and embrace it.
@XEREBRL this band is american
@COSMO but you said it should be exclusive to europe?
So good
I usually listen to hip hop. Never been into other genres very much, although I liked indie music. I have met a dude in the psychiatry and he showed me many different metal bands.. I didn't like most of them but Minenwerfer got stuck in my head. Today I have decided to listen to their album all by myself and well what can I say... I'm speechless. I've shed a few tears to this. Minenwerfer has such incredibely beautiful music. I wish more people would give art like this a chance.. or a few more chances. I can't describe the feeling I have from listening to this.
I recommend some albums by Judas Priest.
The albums are Point of Entry, Defenders of the Faith, Screaming for Vengeance, and Ram It Down.
Albums by Accept.
Restless and Wild, Balls to the Wall, and Metal Heart.
Im come from Techno and PsyTrance, and i feel the same with WATAIN.

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!
Couldn't have said it better!
Not saying I particularly disagree with you, but there’s more to that side of black metal too.
Honour and glory are quintessential aspects of wars which value virtue. Modern wars do not value virtue though.

Probably the best bass i've heard so far..

Incredibly underutilised in metal. Sad because when used correctly it makes an album.
I could never relate to the horrors of this conflict specifically, but I can relate to the wordless emotions felt as an infantryman - the grim reality of the profession and the celebration of militarism and comradeship more than anything. This album brought me to tears and came at a time that I really needed it in my life.
C. R. INFANTRY!
The lead work is some of the best ive heard in all of black metal... especially the first song is a 100% bm masterpiece.
Check out Sirius Aeons of Magick as well. Another unknown that is probably the greatest Symph BM of all time.
Absolutely love the tragic sound of this
This is great! So much "atmospheric black metal" just sounds like musical wallpaper. Background music. This is music that's meant to be actively listened to. Really dig it.
Sunn O))) springs to mind.
@@DenSvartaStjarnan Sunn O))) has to been seen live to be truly appreciated.
"just sounds like musical wallpaper. Background music"
and sometimes that's exactly what I want.
What is funny is they are more of a war metal band, listen to previous albums and even the members names make it obvious. Part of what I think makes this so awesome.
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.
This is one of the best black metal albums of the last years. Cheers from Italy
Ti ammiro
Also recommend BM group , 1914.....A Hundred Days Offensive......
korgonthurus-vuohen siunaus,förjord-ilmestykset,iku-turso-the great tower,shadows mortuary-kuoleman portit ,faustian pact-outojen tornien varjossa all masterpieces 5/5 must check out those albums!!and unhola-inferno !!!
How’ quarantine?
Wow, the production, the mix.. absolutely perfect. Every instrument is so clear. Major props to the band and whoever mixed this. Such a job well done.
the break into the blues part in the first song is genius
I was just introduced to this band today, and so far I've listened to this album 3 times.
I listen to this when I'm werfing minens.

Mein Großvater (geboren 1898) hat auch in den Alpen gekämpft, an ihn muss ich dabei denken...
This intro is insane, love it
This album cover is just so striking, every time I see it in my recommends I just have to click on it and soar away to the frosty heights.
I'm not familiar with a lot of black metal bands but this came up in my feed yesterday and I thought, why not hit play? And I'm glad I did, what a masterpiece, great songwriting and performances, wow! Will be buying this on bandcamp at least.
It sounds like Pink Floyd were founded by Kaiser Wilhelm who was somehow influenced by burzum. Don't know how to describe this, but its awesome!
im not ashamed to say that there were times during my first time listenig to this through headphones that i genuinely wept. THIS is what black metal should be, true, honest and pure. All you Gahl fans and "satanists" take note. Beautiful, so horrific yet so beautiful. This transcends metal to become a true monolithic artistic statement.
I mean there's way better stuff that's not so overproduced, but i get what you mean, this does have the spirit of black metal. I feel it's more like pagan metal tho, reminds me of Moonsorrow, so if you like this you should definitely listen to the old moonsorrow albums (kivenkantaja)
That's almost exactly what Gaahl said about black metal and being authentic you idiot...
It's just normal and good that alot of Styles exist in BM!
@@juanarkantos Moonsorrow is a lot more simplistic and relies heavily on Synth to pad out their sound. This band is just two dudes.
Tears pop in my eyes too when listening to this. This album captures the desperation, the hatred, and the loss of the Alpine War.
This is my second dive in to atmospheric metal and all I can say is how beautiful this is. Expanding my metal palette has been a fun experience over the last few years. Amazing work of art :)
very unusual to have a BM album like this with millions of views.
🤘
This and Mgła's Exercises in Futulity are definetely my favourite bm albums
Thank you so much for sharing, uploading, posting, and organizing all of these amazing bands for us all to enjoy and listen to. It means the world to me. Thank you so much.
Track 4 is like...WOW! at 41:07 the acoustic guitar and lyrics are so gripping. Kaiserjagerlied = Emperor's Hunter Song
No pal, it means Song of the Hunters of the Kaiser
Kaiserjäger are not hunting the Kaiser.
@@1987jkilla kkkkkkkk
Very moving shit%% and God I love when the bass cuts thru in a metal mix
This is my favorite of 2019. Stunning work.
😂
🤣
Eines der besten Alben seid Jahren... unglaubliche Atmosphäre....
Honestly,this is great.
Every song is a gem.
I need to buy this actually.
Luckily there is a link.
I love that cavernous reverb sound they have going on. Definitely makes you feel like you're walking through frozen forests in fear for your life. Hearing every single crunch of the snow echoing like thunder through the white covered wintergreen landscape.
From non blackmetal listener.
I just wanna say that this album is killer. It has atmospheric and melody line and not just satanic, blass beats and trem picks
@XEREBRL people think satan is dark and scary but real demons are man-made
@XEREBRL Demons pale in comparison to humans.
You should try out Drudkh - Blood in Our Wells.
What's wrong with blast beats?
Searching for glory
As blood covers the snow
The peaks and praries
Of my alpine home....
I don't think that any other Band has ever expressed War so mindblowing and intense through it's Music like them.This isn't "just" Music, it's more a Journey, touching. Incredible
True words, this band is just incredible! Though bands like e.g. "1914" and "Horn" have done pretty amazing stuff too.
I'd say Sabaton did (and somewhat does) a great job, but it's not Black Metal.
I'd suggest to check them out. Best albums are Art of War, Coat of Arms and Carolus Rex (there are two versions, one is Swedish and another in English, Swedish imo is better).
Kanonenfieber?!
always coming back to this album, just perfect!
Damn. This is one of those images that will stick with me for the rest of my life...
ONE MILLION VIEWS.
DESERVED.
I haven't had music grab me this forcefully in a while. I put it on as background music but in minutes I was sitting still, holding on to every sound. This album is something special.
can you throw a recommendation my way? hermoor winter storm and hermoor the falls are great atmospheric black metal songs
BLOOD COVERS THE SNOW
Damn I never get tired of this album.
Men made of terror and pain, till the end of their days, spend the vital time that they left struggling with eternal wounds and looking for answers to things with no answer. In fact, their war doesn't end with bullets, it's just the beginning of a living jail, the beginning of a lost war, the beginning of an end. The triumph of inhuman humanity.
Я благодарю Артиста за такую потрясающее исполнение, песня просто завораживает. Моё Уважение Артисту!
Best album i've heard in a long time
That solo at 11:00 still catches me off-guard. Incredible stuff.
I love it, like a brief moment of triumph through the sorrow
it's killer!
Dark history, Magic frozen mountains...what an atmosphere for black metal!...Was in Dolimiti and Julische Alpen couple of times...the connection of beautiful Kalkalpen walls, nature and WWI history there is unbelievable.
