with the sharpest of knives
and the power of wrath is guiding my hands
I cut her precious unborn out
the unborn that carry the blood of the wolf
the wolf that took my loved one’s life
and forced me to drink the blood of my child
I must end the bloodline before the sun rises again
before the last beat of the heart
I must end the curse of my birth
but my light is lost
forever lost
devoured by my darkness
blood is colouring the soil black
will I ever feel alive again
the heart of the unborn devoured
the evil must be dispelled
the evil that devoured me
my mother’s darkest deed
I can see my reflection in the blood
I am the wolf
I can see the return of my long lost shadow
reminding me of my darkest night foreveremore

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 Pagan black metal masterpiece.
Folk and black metal elements fuse into one extremely catchy and awe inspiring album. This band does not disappoint from all the high praise sent it's way. Abyssius Murkraken
La traversée du désert n'aura pas duré quarante jours mais quatre longues années...
Avec Панихида, Батюшка renaît enfin de ses cendres et, bien que désormais seul (ou plus exactement entouré de deux chanteurs), Христофор accomplit un miracle. Il s'inscrit dans la continuité de Литоургиiа avec un black metal orthodoxe qui nous convie ici à une cérémonie dédiée aux morts. Sa vision est englobante : les mélodies, la gravité et le silence font toucher le paradis ; l'agressivité est luciférienne. Jordan Vauvert
Icelandic Pagan Black Metal. Like many others here, I wish I understood these dark tales - all I can do is let myself be transported by the music & what a ride it is! I could not possibly choose a favourite song, they are all so good. I recommend their entire discography!!! bmurator
