Nargaroth |
|---|
Nargaroth is a German black metal solo project led by René Wagner alias “Kanwulf”.
History
According to Wagner, Nargaroth was formed in 1989, the seven track instrumental demo Orke was released in 1991, and the demo Herbstleyd in 1993. Nargaroth's first album Herbstleyd was released by No Colours Records in 1999, followed in 2000 by Amarok, which is not an album but a re-release of old recordings, as well as the demo Fuck Off Nowadays Black Metal. This demo is said to be limited to 333 tapes and 100 LPs.
In 2001, No Colours Records released Black Metal ist Krieg, considered Kanwulf's dedication to black metal. It was followed in 2002 by Rasluka Part II. The third album Geliebte des Regens was released in 2003. 2004 saw release of live album Crushing Some Belgian Scum, Rasluka Part I, and Prosatanica Shooting Angels. The next album Semper Fidelis was released by No Colours Records in 2007.
René Wagner
Wagner classifies his music as "German Hateful and Misanthropic Metal", not as black metal; he does so as he claims black metal is mainly influenced by Satanism whereas Nargaroth is not. Despite Wagner’s denial, as the music resembles classic black metal and the emotional background and influence being an essence of black metal, Nargaroth is often seen as a black metal band.
Wagner participated in the NSBM band Totenburg.
In the booklet for Herbstleyd, Wagner wrote the statements:
- “To the higher honour of the German soldiers of the Wehrmacht 1933-1945. The Negation of their achievements and closing the eyes for their readiness to sacrifice, especially in the last year of the war, is a shame for our nation.[1]
- “German Hateful and Misanthropic Metal, made from White man for White man.”
However, while interviewed by "Magacinum ab ovo", Wagner said he sees Nazism as a mental restriction and that he had no fascist ideas because he was a supporter of the Kriegsgräberfürsorge, a German organization caring for graves of soldiers similar to the Commonwealth War Graves Commission, and the MIA International.[2][3]
Wagner toured in Mexico and Guatemala in 2008.
