Black vinyl + 16 page vinyl sized booklet. In the ninth month of the eleventh year, the band once again entered the studio to record their next morbid mas-terpiece, which after three years of composing finally had grown into it´s full abominable shape. For the finishing touches, the band went to StudioKlangschmiede E (Also used by Secrets of the Moon, Bethle-hem, Dornenreich, Dark Fortress, Eisregen, Schammasch,...) where it was mixed and mastered by Markus Stock (Empyrium, Sun of the Sleepless, The Visions Bleak). The end result became „Geysterzvvang“ six gospels of impurest Black Metal fanaticism.
Vomited out of the great abyss of the bavarian forest, „Geysterzvvang“ (tranl. compulsion of dark spirits and de-mons) compels the devil spirits and demons of the underworld to rise during the Rauhnächte (twelve nights / between the years) through furious black metal. In magic, the word "compulsion" is associated with the concept that the demons of hell can be forced to appear and obey through rituals and invocations. Gates to the netherworld are open, trumpets are blown. Cycle closes again and cloven hooves strikes with thunde-rous might.
The living dead, disgorged from the dark throat of the Otherworld, rise from reeking graves and spit the lustful drops into the night sky, while devils and witches set the ether on fire. The wild hunt that rises to devour souls, when the sickle of Luzier appears upon us and she reveals us screaming: „A bowl full of intestines, A chalice full of blood, cut open the stomach, cut open the stomach, fill it with stones, throw them into deep waters!“
Wie bereits angekündigt, feiert RUNENWACHT sein 10-jähriges Bestehen – und das mit einer besonderen Veröffentlichung: „Ten Years Of German Black Metal“. Die Scheibe vereint 8 Songs aus den vergangenen zehn Jahren, die vollständig neu eingespielt und abgemischt wurden, sowie 2 brandneue Tracks. Abgerundet wird das Jubiläum durch ein standesgemäßes 6-seitiges Digipack inklusive Booklet.
Auch wenn die musikalischen Einflüsse hauptsächlich im Black Metal liegen, lässt sich die Band um Mastermind Niklas Kvarforth nicht auf ein Genre alleine festlegen.
