Grief

We know nothing, widowed loving
visions can't erase
the conscious fear of empathy
Let it glow, burn the ends of ignorance
Mind's eye turned towards none
Sell me, be my prophet
Give me a name other than grief
Blind me with devotion
And in the light of angels, sing
Light my path
on my journey towards clarity
Take my title and say
Leave your body
Undress your heart
Take off that cassock, torn with love
Be one with the casket, and ask for nil
Mind’s eye now one
We know nothing, we believe
Let go of your body and give me a name
Other than grief
Here now but gone tomorrow
Let him ease the pain
Against the grain of time, let him rot
But let him love,
let him love for all its worth
Lost the battle, won the fight
My tree, a dream of light
In branches it hangs,
like a halo hung above my life
Fight the dread, let me burn
All you need is a sapling
with the color of love in its place

Age Is Wisdom
02:52

No shadows left, no shelter - so they flee
The mark of mill and axe
Drowned in lore of roots
Torrid, needled ground, no seed is sewn
Age is wisdom
That was then, and this is now
I shall wear it as my cloak
Dust collects in a pool where the boscage stood
The heaven we left -
That was then, and this is now
The wake of man brought grist and shame, undercaste
Vines consume my home
While we hurry into the ground, our place is known
Black tendrils take me down
Age is wisdom
That was then, and this is now
I shall wear it as my cloak
Dust collects in a pool where the boscage stood
The heaven we left -
That was then, and this is now

Extinction Is Forever
02:47
|

The first to leave
When my hands strangle holiness
Effrontery, here to stay
Extinction is forever,
We tried - we failed
Before my eyes, we lost
When the tree falls, do you listen
To the thunderous wail
Against the grain of the dead
When the last woods are lost
I’ll sake my longings
With poisons, watch as brethren go with me
When the last woods are lost
Behold the dawning
Time runs it’s course on the damned
Given time does the sound of crushed bark travel?
Extinction is forever
Blessed Earth
Fill my neverending thirst
With love for thee, again
My cup, bottomless - yet still it overflows
Turn one last blind eye
Pull the remnants upstream
With the mother love
Pull the shards of tree
Turn one last blind eye

Under Cinders Glowing
02:45
|

Against the will of Earthen forces
A stump is born, amid a rain of his limbs
Under cinders glowing
Dead at last - roots lifeless, brittle, charred
Centuries elapse without fear
Breathing our last gasp
A monument to nothing
Dead at last
OOH
Awakened to the purging
OOOHYUUH
Unyielding ashen door
His legs, surrendered from the ground
And in the nights that follow, shadless… from the crying moon
Awakened to the purging
We are in a cage
We are burning, alive
At once, under cinders glowing
With our own dismal greed
Dead at last
AHH

Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long!

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!

Melodic, almost pagan black metal out of Iceland with some of the most aggressive vocals I've heard in the genre. It's balls to the walls from the first note with few respites, but its melodic enough to not overstay its welcome.
