ANDY WALDNER
The Legacy of Arda – Since 1999
Welcome to the official website of Andy Waldner, also known as Naragarth
Musician, author, and creative mind behind Black Jade, Elbereth's Grace, Silvaris and the Tales of Nyrassar.
News:
"Today, the new Black Jade EP 'The Return' has been released. It’s an album that brings me a lot of personal joy because I finally found the courage to shift the genre a bit. After so many albums that would best be described as Black Metal, this EP features the finest Death Metal—wrapped, of course, in a Tolkien-inspired theme as always. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!"
Where Silence Speaks', the new album by Elbereth's Grace, is out now! Embark on a wonderful epic journey through the realms of Nyrassar and Middle-earth. Check it out and follow on Bandcamp!
​"We've put together a short lyric video for 'Maedhros's Pain'. Please feel free to leave a like and share it around! That would be truly wonderful/greatly appreciated. :)"
Hier ist es: das zweite Album von Elbereth's Grace. „Steh auf“ ist ein Statement, das in der heutigen Zeit tief nachhallt. Es ist an der Zeit, dass wir alle unsere Stimmen erheben und dafür sorgen, dass die Welt nicht im Chaos versinkt.
Ja, ihr habt richtig gehört – ich bin alles andere als unpolitisch! Ich verurteile diesen erschreckenden Rechtsruck und verfluche die Art und Weise, wie einige aktiv die Zerstörung unserer Welt und die Spaltung der Gesellschaft vorantreiben.
Deshalb fordere ich euch alle auf, aufzustehen, laut zu sein und euch Gehör zu verschaffen! Wehrt euch und bezieht klar Stellung gegen die extreme Rechte!

Epic fantasy music inspired by Tolkien’s Middle-earth and the world of the Chronicles of Nyrassar.
Welcome to my website. Here you will discover not only the music of Black Jade, where dark, melodic soundscapes merge with the timeless legends of J.R.R. Tolkien and the spirit of epic fantasy metal, but also the music of Elbereth’s Grace, which leads you into vast symphonic worlds that move between brutal metal and gentle, female-fronted hard rock. In addition, you will find the music of Silvaris, inviting all listeners who enjoy electronic music and trance to explore immersive, atmospheric sound journeys.
This website also provides complete information about my books. You will find details about The Story of Eruviel and The Chronicles of Nyrassar Parts 1, 2, and 3, as well as the short story Into the Unknown, and you can stay fully up to date with all new releases and announcements.
I have been creating music since 1999, weaving fantastic landscapes and stories into sound. Whether you are drawn to black metal, death metal, melodic metal, or epic fantasy-inspired music, this is the right place for you.
