about

On their authentic masterpiece Zeichen, the Wolves from VARG return to their roots and embark on a journey further down a new road. Forget anything you have seen or heard about them in the past few years and embrace the new album as a reboot of a band that never ceased to evolve and has gotten rid of everything superfluous. This seventh full length release marks a new era for the Wolves, haunted by wild battles, death and bloodlust - a resurrection from the fields of pagan metal, pairing razor-sharp melodic death riffs with Freki's furious vocals. Within the first seconds of the album opener breaking loose, VARG pulls the listener into the year “793” that heralded the ferocious era of the Vikings. In contrast, "Fara Til Ranar", including additional female vocals, is a melancholic, captivating saga about the Nordic sea goddess Rán, who pulls wandering sailors down into her wet grave. "Verräter", on the other hand, emphasizes the suffering and vengeance towards former allies with rapid guitar leads and ultimately the album culminates in the mighty title hymn “Zeichen”. In addition to the ten new tracks, the mediabook contains a bonus CD featuring alternative versions of each song the band recorded with renowned guest musicians from Eluveitie, Nachtblut and Equilibrium among others. Looking at the final opus, it's not surprising why VARG took four years after the publication of Das Ende Aller Lügen (which hit number 17 on the German charts) to regather their forces, and today, Zeichen shows that Freki, Fenrier, Morkai and Garm consciously took their time to realign their inner compass and are not afraid of musical and intellectual freedom.

Auf ihrem authentischen Meisterwerk Zeichen kehren die Wölfe von VARG zurück zu ihren Wurzeln und schlagen von dort einen neuen Pfad ein. Vergesst alles, was Ihr in den letzten Jahren gehört habt und seht das neue Album als Reboot einer Band, die nach 15 Jahren ihre besten Seiten weiterentwickelt und überflüssigen Pathos abgelegt hat. Eine Auferstehung gegründet auf den Pagan Metal Wurzeln, gepaart mit messerscharfen Melodic Death Riffs, packenden Drums und Frekis furiosen Vocals. Das siebte Album der Wölfe markiert eine neue Ära der Band, bei der sich Schlacht, Tod und Kampfeslust wie ein roter Faden durch den Longplayer ziehen. Als die Wucht des ersten Songs losbricht, zerren VARG den Hörer ins Jahr „793“, in dem die blutige und sagenumwobene Ära der Wikinger beginnt. Das mit Female Vocals gespickte „Fara Til Ranar“ ist wiederum ein melancholisch fesselndes Epos um die nordische Meeresgöttin Rán, die reisende Seemänner hinab zu sich in ihr nasses Grab zieht. „Verräter“ vertont hingegen das Leid und Rachegefühl gegenüber einstigen Verbündeten mit rasanten Gitarrenleads und letztendlich gipfelt das Werk in der mächtigen Titelhymne „Zeichen“. Zudem enthält die zweite CD des Mediabooks exklusive Alternativversionen eines jeden Tracks, welche die Band mit renommierten und befreundeten Gastmusikern aufnahm, wie unter anderem Eluveitie, Nachtblut und Equilibrium. Mit diesem neuen Werk an deutschsprachigem Pagan Metal wird deutlich, weshalb VARG sich nach der Veröffentlichung von Das Ende Aller Lügen (Platz 17 der deutschen Charts) mehrere Jahre Zeit ließen. Denn ihr nun 4 Jahre später erscheinendes Zeichen zeigt die Wölfe nicht nur in neuem Gewand, sondern auch dass Freki, Fenrier, Morkai und Garm sich bewusst Zeit nahmen, ihren inneren Kompass frisch auszurichten und keine Angst vor musikalischer und geistiger Freiheit haben.

What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music. Sælzer Bub

Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10 RJ

The atmosphere of this album is fantastic. Makes you feel like you're knee-deep in the trenches drenched in mud, filth, sweat, and blood. Truly encapsulates the horrors of World War I, and the fact that the lyrics of some of the songs are taken from old war letters really adds to the authenticity.
