Matthew Johnson I like blackened crust a lot, but it’s rare to find blackened crust that’s this epic and melodic. Another impressive release on the Breathsunboneblood label, one of my favorites for ambient and black metal releases alike, this has everything from slow, mournful clean parts to soaring, driving crust to furious black metal tremolo-picking. Gets better with each listen. Dark but triumphal.

Noodlebjorn This album is one that I bought before the first track was done. The whole thing is absolutely grand, magical, and euphoria inducing. Thank you for creating this. Favorite track: Richtfeuer.

PS: Schön, dass man sich positioniert.
Nicht selten ist man als Liebhaber des Genres in Erklärungsnot. Favorite track: Läutern.

Läutern 11:09
LÄUTERN At last the scourged body rises again too long laying barren too long trampled upon rekindled from the aching wound hymnal clamor rises from the empty chasms the tongue reveals the flame within to sing again the song of those long gone the word was given the word was given what once was sheltered what once was shackeled down among the clotted streams shall rise among burning hoofs Shaking off the malice that resides in every crown no longer servant under patrician reign hand in hand we weave rebellion hand in hand we bring him down oh wretched spite bleeding the pig dry oh wretched tide hallowed be thy name oh wretched blight cursed be thy light oh wretched knife one edge against yourself one against life and the rising smoke without hope, without regret becomes a rope to the throat of life itself what became our cradle the crescendo of dying myriads of souls consumed

Flamura 05:19
FLAMURA In the flames of rebellion in the light of decay an unremitting feud set the cradle aflame though our fangs have been sanded though our will has been crushed though our feet won't recover our blind rage won't stop to flail our bodies all life and all living a futile strife to not accept what was given we suffer the fate of want raising the banner of retribution so our wounds might be mended fanning the flames, as the surging urges burn away our bodies we ignite the dusk with crimson anguish raise the hand against the shepherd raise the hand against the shepherd raise the hand against the shepherd we suffer the fate of want raising the banner of retribution so our wounds might be mended fanning the flames, as the surging choirs burn away our bodies we ignite the night with vermillion anguish ride out, ride out ride out under banners torn

Richtfeuer 10:34
RICHTFEUER Deliver me from life eternal on that fearful day when the heavens and earth shall be moved when thou shalt come to ignite the world by fire I am made to tremble and I fear till the ash lies upon us and the coming wrath when the heavens and earth shall be moved when the heavens and earth shall be moved that day of wrath, calamity and misery day of great exceeding bitterness, when thou shalt come to ignite the world by fire that day of wrath calamity and misery day of great exceeding bitterness when thou shalt come to ignite the world by fire rest eternal grant unto them and let light perpetual shine from the mouth of our heart into the blackest wall in the midst of life we are in death

OUR SMOULDERING GRIEF We crawl through the narrow aisles of pain carrying our burden up upon a barren hill let the weight of regret nurse our longing cled in darkness to avert the urging flame our lifes shall be fire there is a rapture in the deep can't you hear its bells a mourning cloak arises to greet a shallow sun as painted skulls align whispering of a new dawn we offer our hearts as prey raising a hemlock from ash to grant us a new dream while our fears collapse it may be that the gulfs will wash us down it may be that we succumb to the wound within though much is taken much abides, and though we are not now the strength which moved heaven and earth that which we are, we are one equal temper of heroic hearts made weak by time and fate, but strong in will to strive, to seek, to find and not to yield in our smouldering grief IM BRAND Unser Acker war von jeher die Zeit und was wir sähen wird sie verheeren die Flamme weckt die Verbitterung sie wäscht sie mir rein von der Zeit und in der hohlen stille klaffend, schneidend trüber Qualm schleift die Augen blank Und über dem Land ein Chor wie Schreie im Brand ein Schreien vom Tod eine gebrochene Hand Über der Qual am eisernen Rand zerbrochener Münder Gesang speit die Leiber in Brand Ohne Rast getrieben drängend ziehen wir Kreise In den Furchen der Zeit Der Wille schwankt Der Körper krankt Tiefer in das Leben Tiefer in den Kampf Für jede Wunde, Vergeltung sei dein brennen In jeder Stunde sei dein Leben Brand

about

With "Richtfeuer“ RANĂ returns at full force in collaboration with Breath Sun Bone Blood with their second full length album. The album’s title "Richtfeuer" translates to “Leading Fire” or “Beacon”, and that is exactly what this album does…. Leads us into the burning down of this world with the hope of building a better
one.

Four tracks of raging black metal punctuated with elements of blackened crust, chanted atmospheres, and mournfully oppressive doom, laced with melancholic guitar themes and vocal desperation.

Starting with the devastating and crushing power of the 11 minute opener "Läutern", RANĂ sets the course for the coming 40 minute despair riddled assault. "Flamura", the second track sets the tone with a more d-beat blackened crust tone which quickly deteriorates into furious blast beats… Desperation and urgency creating a feeling of relentless anxiety. The third track "Richtfeuer" opens with chanted vocals and mournful picked guitars that devolve into slabs of doom thrown at the listener, with heartbreaking melodic lines supported and then obliterated by black buzz. "Our Smouldering Grief / Im Brand", the album's final chapter (the first half also appeared on 2022’s "Black Metal Rainbows" Compilation) features melancholic guitar lines weaving in and out of hope and despair. Between life and death. The second half of the closing aural assault, “Im Brand", leaves the listener in a pile of ash and rubble, tripping over the remnants of the world and frameworks this album wishes to destroy. And deeply ingrained in the gut-wrenching grief of this album is a hopeless call to arms. A futile attempt to strive and rebel to find a crack in the circle…. And to find solace in potentially failing in the process, only to rise again, burning.

Beautiful. Utterly brutal.

Antifascist Black Metal.
