Srontgorrth: Die Macht erfaßte das meine wie die Angst das Blut der anderen (lit. "Power seized mine [my blood] like fear [seized] the blood of the others") is the second studio album by German black metal band Nagelfar, released in 1999. Srontgorrth is a loose concept album, with the first four tracks focusing on the four seasons. The riff introduced at the beginning of the first piece is reprised at some point in every track on the album. The first three tracks had previously appeared on the band's first two demos and first album, respectively, but were re-recorded for this release. The fourth track is performed featuring no guitars whatsoever. Most likely because more than half of the songs are re-recordings of previously released material, the band themselves do not consider Srontgorrth as an album, referring instead to their next album, Virus West, as their second album. Sound In a 2009 interview, drummer Alexander von Meilenwald wrote that the first Srontgorrth chapter was influenced by Enslaved's "Slaget i skogen bortenfor"; in addition, Nagelfar experimented with industrial elements in this album.
