lyrics

The world crowded close
Round this meagre party
The conceit of mortal life
Begins and so must end
But not tonight

In the great well of the ancient god
Guided by the light of borealis
Phantom apparitions drink
in the face of subconscious wraith

The smoke of woodfire glimmers in the umbra
an Icy fortress of blood and ages
Midnight wolves
Stalk the nights meal

The wardens shed their iron
and look to vertical depths
Crumble not at the assault of revelation
Stillness does not belong among the living

100 or more strides
100 more times
He ye courage, o my brethren

I'd say Havukruunu is the rightful holder of the Crown and the mantle of Quorthon. Epic choirs, vikingesque themes and tales from the other times, of the Finnish paganism back in the days before our ancestors were brought to the cross and forced to kneel while feeling the bloody sword of saviour on their throats made to kiss the hand of murderers who burnt thousands, tore down our holy places and took our holy days. Eyes teary I listen to these songs, never forgiving the crimes of the cross! Peikonmieli

What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music. Sælzer Bub
