    #Fjoergyn 5/x

    their second album Sade et Masoch is the one I've listened to most. The music, #classical compositions and lyrics are just captivating and beautiful throughout. I can say with certainty that especially the song Sade has had a substantial influence on my own songwriting, bot lyric & composition wise.

    #Fjoergyn 4/x

    their first album already had some remarkable compositions that are still among their best material despite the dated production. At this stage the band was really a one man project with a very noticable drum machine.

    my favorite songs from the album:
    08 - veritas dolet (timestamped in link)
    10 - requiem
    02 - vom Tod der Träume

    #Fjoergyn 3/x

    after their 3rd album Jahreszeiten they decided to stray away from the #nature related themes and focus more on social critique with heavy use of #religious imagery in a metaphorical way

    the song Betonlethargie from the album Monument Ende marks the beginning of the style change that accompanied this transition

    Their lyrical themes are centered around humanity/misanthropy and their relation to nature, although the nature has been dropped on later releases.

    One of the most well known songs from the earlier period is

    Katharsis from the album Sade et Masoch

    #Fjoergyn

    Starting a new Band of the Month series, where I'll be making regular posts about the chosen bands music, based on arcane listening metrics of my #lastfm account.

    Fjoergyn is a criminally overlooked #avantgarde #blackmetal band from #Germany with lots of #classicalmusic compositions without sounding #symphonic.

    Current style song: Lucifer Es
