Musically, front man M.D., who forms one half of the group besides drummer S.K., places Vanitas Vanitatum between it's predecessor and the Sól era. \"The songs are more compact and mature, also mostly faster, and again, more black metal. Apart from that, there have been influences you might call nostalgic.\" With it's title referring to a famous ode by 17th century poet Andreas Gryphius, Helrunar's seventh puts the well-known saying (meaning \"vanity of vanities\" or \"all is vain\") into a contemporary context, resulting in \"our most cynical and misanthropic work to date in a consciously exaggerated way,\" says M.D. \"We address different forms of vanity and narcissism, which are rampant in our age, to reveal their psychological and societal origins and consequences. Both traits are contrasted by death and corruption to show their inanity.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEs ist ein sterbend Liecht\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSaturnus\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLotophagoi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlutmond\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDa brachen aus böse Blattern, am Menschen und am Vieh\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVanitas Vanitatum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIn Eis und Nebel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNachzehrer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAls die Welt zur Nacht sich wandt 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNecropolis 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDer Tag an dem das Meer seine Toten freigibt 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProlog 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuff einmal dunckel war die Kammer 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe last Antichrist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alliance - BT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46986659332317,"sku":"884388407831","price":42.22,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/3813033.jpg?v=1762931391"},{"product_id":"helrunar-sol-i-der-dorn-im-nebel","title":"Helrunar- Sol I: Der Dorn Im Nebel (CD)","description":"\u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGefrierpunkt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKollapsar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnter Dem Gletscher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNebelspinne\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePraeludium Eclipsis [Instrumental]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTiefer Als Der Tag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNur Fragmente\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnde 1.3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alliance - BT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46987002642653,"sku":"884388404229","price":18.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/1795367.jpg?v=1762931989"}],"url":"https:\/\/shop.darksiderecords.com\/collections\/helrunar.oembed","provider":"Darkside Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
