NA ZAROT opens a portal into a universe of darkness, chaos and spiritual upheaval. The sound is raw, jagged like cold iron and radically unpolished—an antithesis to any romanticized or völkisch fantasy, firmly rooted in an anti-fascist stance. NA ZAROT shapes lo-fi black metal infused with traces of punk as a counter-space: a place where archaic directness meets a dense, spiritually charged atmosphere that unfolds a hypnotic pull even within the noise.

The production remains deliberately fragmented and unrefined—a kind of emotional excavation protocol that exposes the core of the genre without glorifying it. Lyrically, the tracks revolve around death, decay, isolation, spiritual disintegration and those threshold moments in which the abyss releases a strangely unsettling calm. Influences include Revenant Marquis, Sanguine Relic, Somme, Mula, Xasthur, Nocturnal Depression, Paysage d’Hiver, along with literature dealing with cultures, religions, occultism and history—a resonant space full of symbols and buried meanings.

Musically, sawing guitars, brutal screams, driving drums, sickly strings, ghostly voices and a distorted piano collide. Above it all lies a weight of leaden sorrow, until sudden ruptures drag the pieces without warning into even deeper darkness.

Side A presents the tracks from the On Death and Dying tape, where literary spaces intersect with personal experiences. The lyrics brush against literary references such as Mallarmé’s death poems, the legend of La Llorona or motifs from Romain Gary’s The Dance of Genghis Cohn.

Side B offers new, previously unreleased material titled “Alpensterben.”

These tracks tell the real suicidal story of 6 March 2020—the day NA ZAROT attempted to end his life in a snow-covered mountain cabin in Austria, an experience retold and processed through the music.

The four songs preserve those unheard screams that would otherwise vanish into nothingness. Alpensterben becomes a blood-marked journey through the final hours of an existence scraping against its own ending—an intense, haunting echo of lived despair.
