Menegroth is a black metal band from Switzerland founded in 2001 in Zurich. They play melodic black metal with lyrical influences from the art of Futurism (Marinetti), War, Gnosticism, Alchemy (inspired by Julius Evola) and the 'Style of Fascism' (Armin Mohler). The name comes from J. R. R. Tolkien's The Silmarillion, where Menegroth is a subterranean dwelling place of the Elves. On the album 'Gazourmah', Josef Maria Klumb (Von Thronstahl) speaks words at the song 'Mithras Initiation'. In July 2012 they did release an album about a mix of futurism and alchemy in a coat of Russian communism.
