In 2011 Josef Klumb announced on the Von Thronstahl website that since Autumn 2010 the band is no more, but said also that there is still the possibility of a comeback someday.
The group openly distributes radical views through their music, appearances and essays, which they combine with imagery such as runes and the sigil of the black sun on album covers and during live performances.

Adoration to Europa
Von Thronstahl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Heroes to ecstasy
Welcomes of war and wounds
Vigil and victory
Through light and laughter flow
To dirge and death we go
Hail, hail, Europa know
Hail, hail, Europa see
Vigil and victory
Hail, hail, Europa know
Through death and night we go
Hail, hail, Europa see
Vigil and victory
The hidden movers frown
Our holy banners fly
Watching their stars go down
Our sun is rising high
Hail to the mighty, the ritual begins
Hail to Apollo, the cleanser of sins
Hail to the mighty, the ritual begins
Hail to Europa, she always wins
Our sacred heart will grow
Let crystal waters flow
This burning speed of light
Our sun is shining bright
Structures and atoms dance
Sugar towards the taster
Pray to the predator
Love as we're falling down
Mindless processions move
Lanterns of burning towns
Deserts are paradise
Awake to genocides
Rhythm and randoms move
And waves of revelation
Hail, hail, Europa know
Through death and night we go
Hail, hail, Europa see
Vigil and victory
Hail, hail, Europa know
Through death and night we go
Hail, hail, Europa see
Vigil and victory
