Army of the night awake for thy offering
To Plague mankind’s existence
Darkness engulfs the land
As a fallen sky’s last demand
Streams of consciousness pierce through my heart
Impale their beloved martyr’s
Thy sacred land shall be their tomb
Bringer of death, immense yourself in their decay
Swirling madness intrudes my soul
A thunderous act of laughter
It has begun
And none shall stand
Against our might
My existence.... bound in thorns
Plagued by the entity of man
We devour the weakness that is the flesh
We shall prevail
Descending (through) the sky, we march
The armies of darkness
Side by side, we are one
Pure Armageddon
A storm of choirs
Howling screams of pain
Awakens the earth from its hibernation
The black wind howls
As sky falls to earth below
I sense our demise
As I fall silently into darkness
I grip thy hilt of my sword as I slowly fade away

Nightfall, brings bitter silence
Lifeless streams blind my undying eye
This silence was broken
By cries from thee immortal sky
I breathe the air of this internal fire
Of Vengeance
Of Reprisal
Becomes death and a new arrival
Of Sacrament
Of One
Becomes Martyrdom for the fallen ones
Blood stained, a curse upon existence
A feast of eternal power
Dwells within us, the sacred soil of life
The serpent of light’s demise
A mournful sight upon the veil of time
Caressed by the hymn of the night
We are the keepers
A plague that drowns thy very heart
A spell is cast upon the light
We are the reapers
A revelation inscribed in flames
Fallen Kingdoms of past revelations
Fear driven in death drawn plague
Blood of men cast upon the flame

Lost in Dreams
05:24
|
|||
|
Maddening souls consume the withering night
A desolate cry surrounds the fading light
Rising from their shallow graves
Pale lords of darkness and dismay
Cloaked in their black robes they thrive
On shackled dreams they deprive
From the darkest thoughts, breeds a bleeding mind
Rising above an earthly throne, he welcomes the eternal night
A glimmering hope, yet faint
Hearts ablaze, a subjugated fate
Piercing valor, a virtuous gaze
Anthems of these blackened days
With Crimson Tears
The blood will rain
Shattered souls from the demons bane
Anthems of these blackened days

Hypnotized, as your world dies in scorn
Close your eyes, a new world is born
Shrouded in darkness, the tricksters form of gold
Blind these eyes, cursed with lies, hypnotized
Further approaching your subconscious throne
Gasping your eyes, feeling…so cold
An Emptiness, creeps without dismay
Awakened this time, cursed with lies, hypnotized
Within a trance
Memories pass
From Twilight’s Mask
A realm of Fear
A blinded path
Chains are cast
Call forth a blackened time
Withering souls of a ransacked mind
Entranced, a accursed rage
Upon this throne lies an empty gaze

Under the moon and into Darkness
The wind brings torment to me
A vision proceeds
Of fear I wonder
What can this void bring?
Can I see the virtue of these darker times?
Admidst these damn shadows
Under the crescant moonlight
A fire burns through me
A new vision proceeds
This rebirth, what can it bring?
Can I see the virtue of these darker times?
Immortal days of old
Forlorn in the past
The spirit of eternal power
The past is revealed in shadows
That tear at my heart
Oh, how I yearn for days of old
Thy memories bring a shattered existence
Drenched in thy bitter sorrow
I laugh and stake my claim
Blood exudes from the sky
Like a beast it devours the flesh
Into madness take my soul
Deliver onto me, my unquenched desire
Behold a baptism in chaos
Night’s kiss of death, its unrelenting power
A feast of mortal souls
The world under an empire made of fire
Eternally binded into tragedy’s cause
Forged in the bloody depths of the fallen ones

Semper in Angaria
05:20
|
|||
|
Wails of anguish turn to sadness
Stifling nerves turn to dust
Hear the Absence of laughter
Feel the cold grasp of death
Semper in Angaria, Always in torment
Woeful screams turn to madness
A choir of agony Permeates
Tears echo in the cold winds embrace
On broken wings they….they are enslaved

From haunted Dreams, Passions awake
Rising from the battlefield, with a piercing gaze
Without Fear, warriors arise
A cry of War, an endless night
Born again, in the flames of wrath
Surrounded by the stench of death
As rain falls from the sky
An ominous glow passes their eyes
Seduced by the dark embrace of night
A malignant curse clouds their minds
Grasping the soil
Vengeance whispers it’s final breath
The mortal world has been slain
Enter the path to eternal realms
A bloodbath has now been written in stone
From the darkness within
Beneath the moonlit sky
Beats the heart of death’s design
The birth of a new dawn
A void has arrived
The past is buried in an incubus of time

When darkness arrives
It withers the mind
A Tapestry of chaos and umbra combine
When nightfall arrived
It plagued the divine
Life forms; deformed, emanate in the sky
Embodiment of flesh and mind
A celestial guidance towards…Redemption
Silent, seeking in the shadows
Purity is torn from the grasp of the hollow
Mystic light deciphers an illumination
Departed souls reveal a coming age
The fallen this night
A mournful sight
The hymn of obscurity
Spreads fear among the light
A mindful eye, a deadly design
Brings death to all mortal kind
Screams are heard, as the sky turns red
The fearless ones embrace the dead
Cold and lifeless, in mourning they fled
The Tyranny from dreams has spread
Burning eyes peer from illusions
Silence this night, gasping for a final breath
Behold a grand design
A world turned to ash
Swept away with the mortal tide
An echo of tortured souls fills the skies
A Betrayal of an ominous kind
Emptiness upon the Throne
A mournful sight, a bitter night
A requiem
A threnody of vanquished dreams
An emptiness

Awakening

Exalted, he welcomes destinies new strides
From death... comes a new world from which he is blind
Laden with corpses he walks a narrow path between a mortal and the divine
Remnants, of the past infiltrate his mind
A clouded vision, he stares into obscurities eyes
Awakened, he realizes the tragedy surrounding him, Excidium’s design
A sickness, overwhelms him as he glances over a dying world
Suddenly, he feels cold, a draft sweeps over his nerves
Staring back, he recognizes his nemesis is before him
A mere shadow of his former self

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.

Söngvar elds og óreiðu
by Misþyrming
supported by 13 fans who also own “Entranced By Twilight's Gaze”
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!
