Merkur, by Klabautamann

Merkur

by Klabautamann

supported by

Nick Der Ort and Merkur are both classics in my book. Such an immaculately keen ear for melody and juicy black metal riffs! Favorite track: Unter Bäumen.

ClassyMusicSnob I first discovered this album near the beginning of 2010. It was the first time I ever heard someone mix a little bit of Jazz and Jazz Fusion elements into Black Metal. Everything clicks together beautifully. After all this time i still get lost in this absolutely mesmerizing gem! 4.5/5 Favorite track: Unter Bäumen.

derwaldwunderling listening since '09. Never gets old! Favorite track: Herbsthauch.

Ragnorok A masterpiece of an album, can run it from end to end without skipping. Favorite track: Lurker In The Moonlight.

The Palms Of Sorrowed Kings
by Obsequiae

supported by 16 fans who also own “Merkur”

Obsequiae is easily one of, if not the best melodic black metal bands out there. Each song is unique in its own way, and deliver a powerful punch to your senses, like a medieval gauntlet straight to your face! The amazing riffs and drum work combined with the use of traditional and historical instruments creates a sound like no other. Oh, and Jake Rogers is a guest singer, so you know this album can only be amazing! Wound of Briccius
