Darkness and emptiness is the drawing board of the universe, you are just a play of light on it. There are only a handful of artist that can really touch this void. It is a surrender beyond life itself. It is the end of all where nothing follows. Yet this end, this nothingness, emptiness is the reason why everything is. Life is a contradiction where words cannot help anymore. Only the artist can reveal its true nature... These are the 50 best Atmospheric Black Metal artists I know of that when you listen to them over and over again you still love it. -- The master of the Atmospheric black art: Wintherr (Tobias Möckl)
Gletschertor is in my opinion the best song ever of Wintherr. I do not know how many times over the past decade I have listened to this song, but ever since it came out in 2002 I fell in love with it. It is found on the Deutsche Schwarze Tonträgerkunst Compilation. Later in 2003 a better quality came out on Black Metal Mafia Records called Schneesturm (Blizzard). Paysage D'Hiver (Winter landscape) is already my number one black metal band and this song tops it all.
