lyrics
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
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. Abyssius Murkraken
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
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!! sachavonkarl74
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
