Midsommarblot comes in when the winter has passed. The Norsemen have endured yet another long cold winter and will make a blood sacrifice to the Gods Frej and Freja for a good harvest and a long summer. This is an epic piece with choirs and harmonies with a Nordic touch. As in most cases when we deal with Norse mythology or the life of the Vikings Ereb Altor lean a little bit more to the epic and grandiose sound and composition.
lyrics
White landscapes in our memories
The cold hunger we have endured
Embracing the lukewarm winds
We hail our Gods we will prevail
Let us chant all through the night
In the never setting sun's light
Nine magic songs to the Gods up high
Then raise we our chalices up to the sky
We will sacrifice, we will not fall
Frej and Freja, please hear our call
The golden disc have now returned
Sol has escaped from the wolf
Blood sacrifice to our Gods
To keep the winter far away
Let us chant all through the night
In the never setting sun's light
Nine magic songs to the Gods up high
Then raise we our chalices up to the sky
We will sacrifice, we will not fall
Frej and Freja, please hear our call
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
Литоургиiа réussit l'impensable : faire entrer le black metal dans l'église orthodoxe. S'il y a une dimension dramaturgique (indissociable de tout office religieux), Литоургиiа reste profond, solennel et touche le sublime.
Après la sortie de cet album a lieu un Grand Schisme et un larcin : Христофор se fait dépouiller de son propre groupe par Барфоломей et Мартин ; tout ce qui reste ici provient de ces deux hérétiques. Suivez la procession de Батюшка ici : https://sphieratz.bandcamp.com/album/- Jordan Vauvert
