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.

That second album, Nihilistischen, took a moodier turn from MINENWERFER's throttling debut album, Volkslieder. But while a relative expansion of dynamics made their songs sound even more epic, the duo likewise upped the muscle to their attack, arriving at a thicker soundfield than that no-less-considerable predecessor. What results is a work equally steeped in the ugly underground and the yonder battlefields of professionalism.

Re-issue, 296x gold 12" (180g) in a black poly-lined bag, download card, gatefold jacket full color on 350g, all assembled in a plastic overbag.

Nihilistic Estrangement", FORGOTTEN TOMB's tenth studio album, opens a new chapter in the enduring history of the band and at the same time celebrates it through its stylistically eclectic tracklist which includes nods to the band's whole back-catalogue; from its early, depressive black metal roots (a genre FORGOTTEN TOMB was crucial in defining) to eerily dark blues/rock passages and finally exploring different shades of extreme doom.

The album is enriched by retro-elegance thanks to the vintage analogue techniques that were used in the studio during its recording process, giving it a timeless appeal. "Nihilistic Estrangement" is a highly refreshing album that perfectly captures the very essence of FORGOTTEN TOMB
