Since their formation in 2007, MINENWERFER have pursued a proud 'n' pure vision of black metal idiosyncratically focused on World War I - idiosyncratic, in the sense that the band hail from America but mostly sing in German. What has resulted is a startlingly accomplished canon that has quietly built itself into prolific proportions, with their first album arriving in 2010, followed by albums in 2012 and 2019, and a slew of split releases and EPs in the interim.
Of those many short-length releases, Kriegserklärung can conveniently be seen as a companion to an album release – in this case, 2012's thick-yet-throttling Nihilistischen. And yet, where that album saw MINENWERFER inching closer to a palatable professionalism, the 24-minute Kriegserklärung fully bursts through those doors with a startling clarity, setting the stage for the band's grand 2019 full-length, Alpenpäesse. Which is all to say that MINENWERFER have been mining songwriting gold for many years now!

Shroud of Satan's 2013 debut EP is made available again on vinyl. More than 10 years ago this 4-track-ep has immediately put the band on the map as yet another powerful dark force from our local scene. No-nonsense Black Metal war that draws heavy inspiration from various extremists of the Finnish Underground. On this re-release the EP's 20 minutes of pure satanic black art are enriched by rare and unreleased bonus songs.
