Ernte - Weltenzerstörer

Facts Swiss black metal duo Ernte. The cover fits the album title perfectly: the world destroyers seem small and nearly vanish among the few people. But Weltenzerstörer (world destroyers) doesn't just mean the destruction of our earth; the plural is a deliberate choice. The world of sick thoughts. The world of false emotions. The world of consumption, or the world of manipulation. The world of religions. Weltenzerstörer is not a concept album, yet the lyrics on the album can generally be said to embody a misanthropic attitude. It is about chosen solitude and the search for a higher meaning. But it is also an invocation of ancient forces and spirits to create new ones through the destruction of today's sick world(s), giving nature more room again.
