black666 I really like the way of Nachtlieder focus on old black metal and the same time have a good harmonic riffs
with a quality instrumental at all. Many black metal bands dont have a good diferencial in their songs, but Nachtlieder can stand out among many bands. I was listen this album in spotify and i really like the whole album, (the reason to buy it on bandcamp), tracks like: "Malice, Come Closer" ,"Nightfall", "Silence and Devastation", "The Female of The Species" these track become my favorite of this album, but you can listen the whole album and enjoy as all songs are good, brings a dark and nostalgic atmospheres. Favorite track: Nightfall.

Robin Foster Great album, I've been waiting for this to drop for a while now. There have been quite a few female led metal projects that have come to prominence lately, a welcome change in the diversity of the scene. What sets Dagny apart for me with what she's doing, though, is the ferocity she brings to Nachtlieder - that's something that's sorely missing in a lot of similar projects in my eyes. All the best! Favorite track: Lonely Mortal.

Birth of a vile human With a gasping breath A creature of inferior form Arise from silvery ash Pale phoenix, spiritless glow The dance goes on, my love So be quick on your feet Battle, determine your own fate And fend off the fiends that will be forever in your dreams Malice, come closer to me! Fragile beautiful child your fate is sealed Through fury Perfection Madness Blessing Mortal, mighty protector

Nightfall 04:34
Awake in a silent blue twilight Lustered eyes, hypnotized A luminous night The wine, that one drinks with the eyes Silent and all but paralyzed Draw on the breath of nightfall Under gravity’s spell The moon spills light into dark waters Stillness, sinister, crystal clear awakening open hands in a wordless prayer A chilling pulse violently beating within The silent horizon Light transmitting through open hands A glowing arch in a dark room Present the violent sublime Nightfall, and wildness becomes my art Hear voices from far beyond Swing a hangman’s noose, sway my heart I feel Now I see beyond It goes beyond Let streams flow, unrestricted In my remaining time The silent horizon
3.
Fatale 04:13
Fire Lanterns burning in the courtyard The quest is not forgotten An oath to be fulfilled Channel through my eyes and lips and veins My body burst, fire My rage My inner blue beautiful flames Fountain of youth, blood will pour out from every wound Give me your flesh, burn the skin from your feeble limbs Quiet laughter in the silent night Fatal night Silver ashes falling now Captured in a mad maidens fantasies
4.
I stared into the fathomless dark My mind stirred and ached and pounded A painful attempt To pardon this use of flesh and animate this lifeless shell Beholding, looking deeper My sweat and blood filled its void My feet glued to the ground I sang as i was drained Lonely mortal Let this be my revival Pour an open portal from my fingers For colorless is my survival I disintegrate or burst into flames or all swept away This unfilled existence I stared into the dark Beholding all, everything, nothing

Eve 05:16
With every breath and pulse Draw on the first drops of dark A never sedated thirst Breath the water Smell the blood Bind the moment Reach into a vast hollow night And grasp its matter Become its light, unbound
6.
Wildness Silence in your dominion the vastest of all places Creation through destruction In the wastelands grow spiring seeds When silence follow devastation Calm, stand firmly to the ground Sublime act of change, her vow Clear, harmonious is it's sound Divine transformation, finished now Follow me through the battlegrounds Follow me through silence Follow me through
7.
Precious little one Cloaked to merge with the shadows A sharp blade at your side A violent mind unfolding Not cared for, care for no one Lonely little one Instead of the warmth of spring Make a thunderstorm Follow a path toward the light Through the dense dark forest Pretty little one Brush the thorns from your cloak A trail of fresh blood Before autumn leaves fall Let it be your guide home Harmless little one Weight of hate to pull me through the vast void of existence born to free myself yes save me from annihilating soul and spirit spit and blood and ugly nature and my mind is shadowing itself disintegrating dour little one
8.
Onward I went in water Birth of Venus, with a blank face And a bland taste lingering on the tip of my tongue Bite the apple and follow the morning star When worlds fall and shadows grow What is life if not freedom to live I sensed the power of storms in the air And I moved along with the wind in my back Onward I went through fire The heat, flames intoxicating, red and blue Defiantly dancing, chaotic steps The serpent’s daughter as one with the witch But the song of a sword’s clinging metal My wisdom stolen by works of gray Deceived by the madmen And my body was engulfed in the pyre Marks burned in the soil Narrating shackled lives, slit throats Trembling limbs in liberating creation Do my hands have value now? Onward I went, through the bowels of the earth Cold, faceless, mud covered creature Brutal and beautifully unkempt The smell of cloth, the sweat and the dirt With grace I clean up the sickening stench With light heart I breath the dampened air (And I stomped the devil’s torso into the ground)
