Satanic Warmaster & Archgoat - Lux Satanae (Thirteen Hymns of Finnish Devil Worship) [2015] Repress (2016)

 

Both revisited and re-recorded with their respective current lineups. With both bands coming off career high-points - ''Fimbulwinter'' and ''The Apocalyptic Triumphator'', respectively - Satanic Warmaster and Archgoat here prove why they're not only among the most celebrated bands in Finnish black metal, but international black metal in general. On Lux Satanae, Satanic Warmaster recast their past in the cleaner, more concertedly epic path laid out by Fimbulwinter, while Archgoat reignite the same ghastly power they trademarked in the early '90s.

Satanic Warmaster - Nachzehrer (2010) Tape [2015]

The monument of "Nachzehrer" 2010 A.S. sees Satanic Warmaster to return to its oldest battlegrounds, the mythology of European vampiric nightbeings which carried through years of torment the shades of witchcraft embedded in the deepest layer of the human subconscious. Even though christ had abolished the pagan temple, the beast was growing stronger with each drop of consumed blood. And as apocalypse bides nearer and the cold mist descends on the depths of the woodland, the warmaster rides out with vengeance once again. By the power of Lucifer, those who do not wear the mark shall suffer and perish...

Label: Tour de Garde 

Recorded at Satanic Metal Temple on four analogue tracks between the vernal equinoxes of 2009 and 2010 Anno Sathanas.

Lyrics by Werwolf (tracks: 2 to 7), Nachttoter (track 8).

The nachzehrer is a type of German vampire which features prominently in the folklore of Germany’s northern region. According to legend, it needed to devour both its burial shroud and body in order to survive. The word nach may be translated into English as ‘after’, whilst zehrer may be translated as ‘living off’. This combination of words alludes to what the nachzehrer is believed to be, i.e. a creature that lives after death, or a being that lives off humans even after its death.

 

Satanic Warmaster - Strength & Honour (2001) Remastered [2014]

 

Strength and Honour was released in November 2001 through Northern Heritage. It was reissued twice by Northern Heritage in 2003 and 2004, both pressings limited to 1000 copies. The original LP version comes with a bonus track, officially untitled, also referred to as "Legion Werewolf". The keyboard outro to "Night of Retribution" was originally intended to be the intro for Satanic Warmaster's unreleased "Black Metal Kommando" debut album. The album intro is an uncredited piece taken from the SPK album Zamia Lehmanni: Songs of Byzantine Flowers. The album cover features the “Spirit of Wolf” emblem by the band Black Draugwath. Satanic Warmaster apologized years later for the mistake.

 ''Nature's primal unchained energy
That is enshrined in all that exists
The power of great destruction
And creation on the crumbling remains
Satan, creator
Satan, destructor
Satan, master residing in the void
of true blackness
The erect phallus of fertility
And the horns as it's guardians
The procreation of the triumphant
And the demise of the worthless
Satan, protector
Satan, imperator
Satan, master residing in the void
of true blackness
The ashes that nourish the soil
Born from the wrathful breath
That swallows the burdening life
Is a veil brooding our reborn earth
Satan, protector
Satan, renewer
Satan, master residing in the void
of true blacknes.'' 

 

Aryan Blood & Satanic Warmaster - Aryan Blood / Satanic Warmaster [split] (2007)

Aryan Blood: 

NSBM band from Germany. Formed in 1998 by Negrobutcher. They have released three demos: 'Demo 1' in 1998, 'Eternal Strife' during the same year, and 'Aryan Blood' in 1999.
They also have five splits with Capricornus, Eisenwinter, Evil (Bra), Satanic Warmaster and a four-way split entitled 'Germeinschaftstontraeger' with Flammentod, The True Frost, and Nordreich. A new split with the German nsbm band Tustra was set to be released in July 2011, but has suffered delays due to the temporary imprisonment of Pride (half of Tustra) for various counts of vandalism and violence.

Satanic Warmaster:

Werwolf bestowed life upon Satanic Warmaster in the year of infamy 1998, in order to finally realize his true expression in art, prepared for by years of battles in crafting unholy Finnish Black Metal in other hordes. Though men and their minds never cease to evolve, the core principles of Satanic Warmaster that were laid out in the brief ritualistic exhortations of the cult demo "Bloody Ritual" recorded in 1999 A.S. have never changed in essence. While forgotten and dreaded because of its unforgiving nature, this release laid out the symbols and signs of initiation to the pact with Satan, which remains the original source of revelation for Satanic Warmaster. Around the same time, Werwolf explored a more triumphant, militant and Germanic musical style with demo "Marsch Zu Neuen Zeitaltern" 1999 A.S. and while the concept of this demo would have only a little resemblance with Satanic Warmaster's intentions, it was important in forging the pattern of melodies used in the hymns that Satanic Warmaster composes in the name of Satan.

Behexen & Satanic Warmaster - Behexen / Satanic Warmaster [split] (2008)

Behexen is a Finnish Black Metal band founded in 1994. with members Torog, Horns & Reaper. The first demo ''Reality is in Evil...'' under the name Lords of the Left Hand (1994-1996) saw the darkness in 1995.
They adopted a more traditional approach to black metal by incorporating raw characteristics.


When the Carelian woods rustled in thepassing of ancient shadows and the full moon shone its dismal Glare upon the kneeling worshipper, the demons whispered their horrid decree. By the binding rites of darkness and witchcraft, Werwolf bestowed life upon Satanic Warmaster in the year of infamy 1998, in order to finally realize his true expression in art, prepared for by years of battles in crafting unholy Finnish Black Metal in other hordes. Though men and their minds never cease to evolve, the core principles of Satanic Warmaster that were laid out in the brief ritualistic exhortations of the cult demo "Bloody Ritual" recorded in 1999 A.S. have never changed in essence. While forgotten and dreaded because of its unforgiving nature, this release laid out the symbols and signs of initiation to the pact with Satan, which remains the original source of revelation for Satanic Warmaster. Around the same time, Werwolf explored a more triumphant, militant and Germanic musical style with demo "Marsch Zu Neuen Zeitaltern" 1999 A.S. and while the concept of this demo would have only a little resemblance with Satanic Warmaster's intentions, it was important in forging the pattern of melodies used in the hymns that Satanic Warmaster composes in the name of Satan.
