Legions

Staring into the falling sky
A chill ignites inside as the flames arise
Darkness arrives as the daylight dies
The legions devour the night
Wails of the dying, terror arrives
Engulfing the land, reaping domination
Silence is filled with a cacophony of screams
A suffering which the conquer demands
(narration)
Silence amongst a catastrophic background
A tapestry of rotten flesh and decay
With bleeding eyes
A storm of fate
Torn from a dying world
Brought to deaths gate
Bleeding within
A vision grown dim
Fading into darkness
Held in deaths embrace

Torn

Emptiness….From which he wakes
A Cold breeze, scattered remains
Life, but a whisper of a past memory
Dispelled, this belief of a better path
Torn from within
Shackled in death’s embrace
A crown of thorns
Imprisoning the shattered remains
Gazing into the realm of despair
Whispering sounds of sorrow
Echoes…..of the damned
Embracing twilight, a realization of what’s to come
Torn from within
A blackened soul embraced
A silhouette of a man in its place
Tormented in the seeds of reality
A path of the unconscious, no longer ingrained
Impervious to the shadow, no longer entrenched in pain
Pale…..in his reflection
A feeling of bitter disdain
Life, but a whisper of a past memory
Dispelled, this belief of a better path

Triumphant

Beyond the hills, lies a land
As cold as winters breath
Glacial Dominion, with a tortures gaze
Tortures gaze
Unyielding bane of winter’s wrath
Triumphant this realm of immortal ice
Frozen, benumbed as the earth he stands
Past images bring warmth of a forgotten sun
Forgotten sun
Memories seem so distant
Scares of melancholy
Longing for times of old
A realization brings forth a cold reality
Retribution sustains his desire
A conquer he has become
The last memory of a dying sun
Looking around, a withered earth
Conjuring a future that is wrapped up in the past
An environment as fitting as the days to come
Befall this desolate existence
As tragedy crawls amongst the horizons
Triumph bellows through the halls of his mind
Retribution sustains his desire
Ice turns to fire, burning visions engulf the night

Vengeful Tranquillity
04:55
|
|||
|
The feeling of anguish engulfed in an open flame
Feel the flames of distraught
Burning within, hatred defined as madness
Farther into obscurity
Enduring this flesh
Can I become one?
Can I purge the ruins the past
Plagued by an eternal breath
Further into obscurity
A vengeful tranquility
Paths laid out before me
Darkness enshrined, an enigmatic vision
Fallen, Bending their will
Enthroned within a bleak embrace
Burning within
Hatred defined as madness
Further into obscurity
A Vengeful tranquillity

Immortal Dawn
04:23
|
|||
|
Obsidian eyes gaze upon the battlefield
Reborn, flesh becomes one with steel
The Dawn of War Arrives
Reborn with a crown of thorns
The Dawn of War Arrives
The March of the Immortal Dawn
Banners rise, symbols of conquering age
The shadow of death prepares for his claim
Fires painted upon a dark misfortune
Their brush strokes stoking the heart of the flames
Eyes ablaze, a fervent disdain
An allegiance written in blood
Calls forth a conquering age
Skies ablaze, Commanding the night
Reborn to obscurity, an immortal might
Silence within, a somber serenity
A cold grasp upon a blackening heart

Bloodlines
05:10
|
|||
|
The swarm of the hordes
Living among the damned
Blood spills upon
The ruins of an empire
The nightfall brings forth dismay
Black as night they come
In darkness they prey
Beasts of conceding inner twilight
Perpetual desolation through a virulent
….disdain
Baneful in its hate
Immolation of an impervious state
Clasping onto its victim
Ripping flesh from ragged bone
Beasts of an imperial night
Darkness perched upon a shadowy gravestone
Images of the lost in their eyes
A craving is reborn, a fervent desire
Harboring the night, a cacophonous shriek
A knife like piercing pitch
Carried through the skies
Stabbing into the heart of perpetual desolation
Suffering seen through his eyes
An awakening of perception
Eyes bleeding out visions of dismay
Malice unchained
An alliance torn apart
Shackled within a consensual nightmare
Never again

Divine Tragedy
05:18
|
|||
|
As if time stood still
Memories, regrets plague my thoughts
A path chosen, an ever clinging guilt
Further into obscurity I fall
Past undone, an existence in ruins
As if written in stone, a test of morality
Struggle of calamity
Weakening the grip of reality
Smothered is the path of virtuous
Conscious is time, healing mortal wounds
A regression, past dimension
Time kneels before the immortal dawn

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!

Not gonna lie, I don't usually go in for the super composed, melodic flavor of black metal. That said, I'm thoroughly enjoying this release. Gives kinda an Old Man's Child type vibe.

Joseph Hawker subverts the musical and sociopolitical status quo with a black metal triptych that's as incendiary as it is impressionistic.

As I sat listening to this album for the first time, I cried. It triggered so many emotions I could barely handle it. This is exactly the kind of music which pulls at my heart strings. Incredibly beautiful and epic. Sooo windirish but yet so unique !
