Nargaroth’s new album, “Era of Threnody”

The front cover illustrates the Greek figure Laocoön in his death throes. The two serpents represent each The Temptation and the Lost Love, with whom the wounded Laocoön struggles until they poison his heart. Pained, the sword in his hands is about to slip while the order of the world vanishes, symbolized by the collapsing pillars. And behind all the sigil of Babylon, the “Mother of Abomination”, which unlovingly beholds the tragedy.
