lyrics

Battalions gather in the black dawn skies
Their weapons are storm and lightning strike
A calm before the storm

A distant overture, thunder from the north
The great one will forever look on, with cold indifference
He knows the cycle, he has see it many times before

Unleash the tidal battery
Storm-front advance!
The spearhead is deadening lands

At the word, ride the winds
And destroy all before us
As chaos takes hold,
lightning strikes burn the earth

Maelstrom unleashed,
The deafening cries of war in the sky

Mountains of ash appear on horizons
And the cold cracks the stones
Fire and ice united in pact

Under the black skies now bleeding
A stillness returns to the world

A stillness
A silence

Under the black skies now bleeding
Hiding the wounds of the Earth
Silence returns
Awaiting the signs of rebirth

Söngvar elds og óreiðu
by Misþyrming

supported by 20 fans who also own “The Cleansing”

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! Lukas Kaufmann

Uinuos Syömein Sota
by Havukruunu

supported by 16 fans who also own “The Cleansing”

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

Kelle Surut Soi
by Havukruunu

supported by 16 fans who also own “The Cleansing”

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

No excuse, I should’ve already picked this up. When people can’t agree on what you’re playing but they know it’s metal, that means you’ve done it right. Metallurgical Fire
