Jag for, jag sökte genom försakelsens nejder
Ännu en natt i svårmodets tecken
Ännu en strid i tungsinthetens töcken
Inget liv här dväljes, blott död jag ser
Inget hopp här finnes
Horisonten vilar lömskt i dunkelprydd prakt
Horisonten bjuder glömskt oemotståndlig makt
Mot intets omättliga svalg
Vi färdas skall
Jag for, jag sökte genom försakelsens nejder
Jag for, jag sökte genom försakelsens nejder
Fjärran röster eka under nattens becksvarta slöja
Järnkalla famnar draga mig ned till djupets nedre

Rushing Blood

Flames fade
Night sweeps through now barren lands
Dreams end
Silence permeates once holy grounds
Wanderers of time lay lifeless on the shores of the morrow
Eidolons of the past bind our minds in deceit
Yet the dark glow smoulders beneath all the squalor
Primeval forces pulsate in the swift currents of time
Weaved webs of fate cast upon terra incognita
Archaic wisdom elucidated
Thunderous skies in resplendent ferocity quake the spirit
Auguries of war calls kinsmen to arms
The hour of the wolf draws nigh
Blood rushes, sinews stretch
Yearning hearts in fiery desire
Spears hurl, shields splinter
Torpid limbs in impetuous rapture
The threshold of perception shattered
Spiritual magnificence manifested
Blood rushes, sinews stretch
Yearning hearts in fiery desire
Spears hurl, shields splinter
Torpid limbs in impetuous rapture
The fires rekindle, the seeds sprout
Somnolent giants within us rouse

Alea Iacta Est

In the depths of gods and the furrows of man
In the sinews of the warrior
In the thoughts of the fallen
Ride forth, ride swift
Daylight soon ceaseth
Bloodshed soon begineth
Caught in a maelstrom of perforating thoughts
A spear is thrown
The die is cast
Ride forth, ride swift
Daylight soon ceaseth
Bloodshed soon begineth
Staggering steps in forests deep
Ominous whispers the wind brings
Arcane relicts awake from sleep
Betrayers onto the precipice cling
O, how I’ve yearned to honour the inexorable gods of war
O, how I’ve suffered the sorrow of fallen men’s hearts
Fog-dwellers lie blinded in disdain
Cloud-walkers appear in numinous forays
Vibrant memories of a remote past
Calls me home at last
They call me home at last
Ride forth, ride swift
Twilight soon reacheth
Death soon reapeth

Eagles fly over the fields of lifelong struggle
Wolves gather in pack amongst the fallen
Weary limbs quiver in madness and desperation
Empty eyes witness the end
Thoughts sway ‘tween void and chasm
Memories steep in fathomless sorrow
Loathing and despair prevail in these corridors of nothingness
Where the vain search always seem to endure
As if it lay something different under every stone turned
Than another hollow truth to embellish our funeral pyres
Woe to the vanquished
…and their forgotten songs
The chalice of bitterness is overflowing with liars' gall
Late is the hour
When horns resound
The halls of our fathers are nothing but dust
Are we not fettered in our own chains, bound to dwell in perpetual night?
Roving plains so cold and silent
Across waters so vicious and violent
Constantly gazing towards the treacherous beckonings yonder
Thoughts sway ‘tween void and chasm
Memories steep in fathomless sorrow
Bloodied hands caress the dead
Meadows yellow
Winds wuther
Stygian clouds shall forever obscure the sky

Uinuos Syömein Sota
by Havukruunu
supported by 18 fans who also own “Treacherous Beckonings”
A Pagan black metal masterpiece. Folk and black metal elements fuse into one extremely catchy and awe inspiring album. This band does not disappoint from all the high praise sent it's way.

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!

The first 30 seconds of "Revenge by Fire" convinced me to get the whole album! It is a face-melting blend of speed and black metal, reminiscent of Hellripper! KVAEN is a Swedish solo project much like Hellripper but many known guest musicians helped J. Björnfot in his endeavor. Altogether it is really a solid debut album, I loved the melodies and the pace changes in the second half too, ending with a "calm" instrumental one. Well-done!!

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.
