According to Ash, Nargaroth was formed in 1989, but due to contradictory statements of Ash, this date is disputed, as well as the release of the seven track instrumental demo Orke in 1991. It is supposed that this demo was actually released in 1999. The demo Herbstleyd, which Ash claims to be released in 1993, was probably not released before this date. Nargaroth’s first album Herbstleyd was released by No Colours Records in 1999, followed in 2000 by Amarok, which is not an album but a re-release of old recordings, as well as the controversial demo Fuck Off Nowadays Black Metal, (released as a demo resulting to disputes over production values). This demo is said to be limited to 333 tapes and 100 LPs, but more units were probably released.
In 2001, No Colours Records released Black Metal ist Krieg, considered Ash’s dedication to black metal. It was followed in 2002 by Rasluka Part II. The third album Geliebte des Regens was released in 2003. 2004 saw release of live album Crushing Some Belgian Scum, Rasluka Part I, and Prosatanica Shooting Angels. The next album Semper Fidelis was released by No Colours Records in 2007. The sixth album was released in 2009 named Jahreszeiten by No Colours Records limited to 1000 copies.
Sommer
Nargaroth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
der dein Herz nähret,
der Kuss,der vergaß, dass nichts ewig währet.
Ich bin der Schrei im Wind,
der zu künden begehrt,
dass Sterne wir sind,
die selbst ein Gott ’fürchtig ehrt.
Bin dein’ Rüstung und auch Schild,
im Hagel und im Sturm.
Im Kampf gegen die Schatten
und den erdlohen Wurm.
Bin der Regen im Sommer,
der stillet deinen Durst.
Bin das Licht nach dem Donner,
das uns leuchtet ’gen dem Kurs.
Bin die Welle im Wasser,
die deine Narben kühlt,
die schon bluten ach so lang’
und darbend deine Seel’ aufwühlt.
Denn du hast mich gefunden
im schwertiefen Erz.
Geheilt meine Wunden,
getröstet mein Herz.
Als Mann meine Hand zum Schutze erhoben,
bett’ ich dich auf efeu’sches Meer.
Und bleibe mit dir auf ewig verwoben
(und) will einer and’ren sein nimmer mehr.
The Nargaroth's song "Sommer" is an emotional, almost melancholic piece, and these lyrics reflect this overall mood. The lyrics talk about being the dew on the grass that nourishes one's heart, the kiss that forgets nothing lasts forever. It continues, saying that the author is the scream in the wind that wants to signal that we are all stars, even those who consider themselves Gods.
The song is quite powerful, with the lyrics portraying an image of a protector, someone who is a shield and an armor in the storm, fighting against shadows and the gods, who are afraid of him. The author is like the rain in summer and the light after thunder, guiding us through the course of life. The image of waves and water symbolizes healing, soothing, and cleansing, as the author strives to relieve the wounds of someone bleeding for a long time, disturbing his soul.
The last part describes a bond with someone that was broken and healed again by someone that the author is referring to, who raised his hand to shield him, and now they will be forever connected. Still, the author wants no one else and is devoted to this person.

English translation... Beautiful song
Summer
I am the dew on the grass,
nourishing your heart.
The kiss which has forgotten
that nothing lasts forever.
I am the scream in the wind,
which wishes to announce
that we are stars,
revered even by a god.
I‟m your armour and your shield
in hail and in storm wind.
In the struggle with the shadows
and the burrow worm.
I‟m the rain in the summer,
which quenches your thirst.
I‟m the light after thunder,
which illuminates ‟wards our course.
I'm the wave on the water,
which cools your scars,
which bleeding for oh so long
and, starving, stir your soul.
'Cause for you have found me
in the heavy-deep ore.
Healed my wounds,
consoled my heart.
As a man my hand raised for shelter,
I bed you on an ivy sea.
And remain with you forever interwoven
(and) never want to be with another one again.
