lyrics
Torn from the banner of firelight
Dark star burning, devouring night
Come forth! Join in the blackened horde
Shasurat, the child of war born
Feast!
Face death and witness deafening sound
Traverse sacrosanct burial ground
Until death wills us home we shall carry the torch
Onward! To glory in ruinous force
Specter!
Haunting thy will
Malice claim thy name!
Sorceress call in the name of our mother tongue
Hallowed ground sown by the blood from a thousand deaths
Iron will, our ancestors course through our veins
The temple awaits
Offerings of flesh to herald the gods
And as the weak draw from the Earth
We shall bind them eternally
To unmarked graves
As the forgotten soldiers of war

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

Pretty much the best Black/Speed Metal I've listened to since I learned about Evil Invaders and Vulture. Everything you'd love to be reminded of about this musical era is there. The influences are what you'd expect too: Motörhead, Venom, Bathory, early Slayer, Celtic Frost; aggressive vocals, tortured guitar solos, pounding drums; everything is fast, clear and still a little grimy, but without reverb cranked up to the max. Amazing band, amazing album. Odiumediae
