A place where agony, cursing force of loss, new beginnings, and warming of the heart co-exist, often simultaneously. Set in a foggy, emotional atmosphere where the vocals are waves in the ocean of sound and guitar rhythms and percussion gently hypnotize you. The instruments and vocals work together so harmoniously to create synergistic whole that nothing seems to shine, but if you zoom in on any one piece, everything does. Mr. Conner
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
A true melancholic black metal masterpiece! Awesome mix of black metal and melodic and slow elements, Scherben is my favorite on this record. 15 minutes, sit down and take it in. lensdu
