Bölzer
Bölzer is a Swiss extreme metal duo that formed in Zürich in 2008. They have said that the meaning behind the name is "a powerful force or blow or strike that has no regard for the consequences or the repercussions.

To date, they have released three EPs, and their debut studio full-length album ''Hero'' was released on 25 November 2016 on Iron Bonehead Productions.

Hero (Bölzer Album)
''Hero'' is the debut full-length studio album by the Swiss extreme metal band Bölzer. The album was released on November 25, 2016 through Iron Bonehead Productions and Invictus Productions. The band made the tracks 'I Am III' and 'Spiritual Athleticism' available to stream in advance of the album's release. The album received generally positive reviews from music critics upon release, although the changes in musical style compared to the band's previous records was a divisive matter among fans and music critics. Musical style and writing ''Hero'' is a concept album, described by Okoi Jones as "a thematic amalgamation of the two EP's – note the duality within this union. It constitutes a triad, a tale in three chapters where the new-born spirit of ages past acts as a protagonist." Music critic Tom O'Boyle has described some of the album's central themes as being "human nature in the face of mythological enormity; a transformation of the flaws of body and soul; and a thirst for ...

Sun Cross
A sun cross, solar cross, or wheel cross is a solar symbol consisting of an equilateral cross inside a circle. The design is frequently found in the symbolism of prehistoric cultures, particularly during the Neolithic to Bronze Age periods of European prehistory. The symbol's ubiquity and apparent importance in prehistoric religion have given rise to its interpretation as a solar symbol, whence the modern English term "sun cross" (a calque of german: Sonnenkreuz). The symbol means ''village'' in Ancient Egyptian ( Gardiner symbol O49). The same symbol is in use as a modern astronomical symbol representing the Earth rather than the Sun. In pharmacy, sun cross symbol represents various/miscellaneous drugs. After World War II, variants of the symbol became associated with neo-Nazi and white supremacist movements.

The stylised symbol of the Z-shape (also called the , meaning the "double-hook") can include a central horizontal bar to give a Ƶ-symbol, which can be reversed and/or rotated; it is sometimes mistaken as being an ancient rune due to its similarity to the " gibor rune" of the pseudo '' Armanen runes''. Early medieval pagans believed the symbol possessed magical powers and could ward off wolves. It became an early symbol of German liberty and independence after its adoption as an emblem in various 15th-century peasant revolts, and also in the 17th-century Thirty Years War. In pre-war Germany, interest in the was revived by the popularity of 's 1910 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
