I am mountains, I am stone and river, I am clay and fire. I am death, destroyer, I am life, birth giver.
Gathered at the lake, to places of reflection
To stare upon the other world, to look into their eyes
The gateways are the still waters, sacrifice must be given to life
Our lifeblood spills into black marsh waters
Like the great serpent it sleeps before we awaken
The stone spiral coils underneath the mountain
Like the great serpent it sleeps before we awaken
The old and weathered rock, a place where gods once stood
They left their sign for us. Their heritage in our blood
The path of the true kin its journey unending. the serpent, the great one, the will of the stone. the spiral, the cycle, the path of the chosen. Under the mountain and under the sky.
When skies are black you feed the land, you pierce the sky with your spear and make it bleed. white flame flashes through the clouds, under your deafening battle cry that fills our hearts with pride.
I am the watcher, the hunted, the seer, the wisdom of ages, the will of the land.
I am the warrior, the hunter, the spear, the stalker in grey mist, the ending of man.

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

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

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
