lyrics
[Sjeo je ispred mene i napokon počeo, možda po prvi put nakon 20 godina, pričati istinu. Istinu koja će zalediti moje kompletno biće.]
Aj pošla Anka u šumu,
S' sjekirom na ramenu,
Za njom išla tri žandara,
Sva tri naoružana.
Prvi nosi okove,
Drugi nosi noževe,
A taj treći sablju tanku,
Da zakolje Anku.
Anka njih je molila,
Bijele ruke sklopila,
Nemojte me, braćo, klati,
Muž će moj plakati,
Aj šta će reći moja majka,
Da je zaklana Anka.
English:
DYING TIMES
[He sat down in front of me and finally, for the first time after almost 20 years, started telling the truth...]
Anka went to the woods,
With an ax on her shoulders;
She was followed by three knaves,
All three digging her grave.
The first one carried chains,
The second one carried a knife,
Third one wanted to rape
and slaughter innocent Anka.
Anka begged for her life
With her silky white fingers:
"Please, please don't kill me,
my husband will cry;
What will my mother say
to find her daughter raped and slained..."

Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10 RJ
The atmosphere of this album is fantastic. Makes you feel like you're knee-deep in the trenches drenched in mud, filth, sweat, and blood. Truly encapsulates the horrors of World War I, and the fact that the lyrics of some of the songs are taken from old war letters really adds to the authenticity.
Favorite Track(s): Die Feuertaufe, Grabenlieder edoerfler
What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music. Sælzer Bub
Extraordinary work by Antrisch, can't stop listening to it although Black Metal usually struggles to convince me.
Same like for Antrisch's EXPEDITION I: Dissonanzgrat applies: This album is strong from its first sounds of creaking wooden hull to its last sounds of wind and waves, deciding for a favourite track would not do justice for the geniality of the remaining five, the one coming closest to a favourite one could be I FESTGEFROREN - Packeisfalle in my opinion. onkelchristoph
