lyrics
Divine descendants of thunderous highlands
Rising as unbreakable walls from shadows undone
Carved upon its slopes their kings’ eternal legacy
Along the coast of Arčesh, cradle of the mighty throne
The hellish desert spewed forth treacherous races of old
For centuries remained the vow to eradicate
Futile collisions left the gods’ thirst unquenched
The Highlanders’ judgment upon the chosen caste
Haldi, by thy will, thy sacred legacy
Passed through ancient bloodlines to Orontids
Ardi
Gunuše
Areni
Theispas by your holy will
United by blood brothers stood strong
All those who came to engrave their names
Called forth to ordain the decree of Heliac
Legions of vengeance marched to the south
To carry out the ancient verdic
Where scattered raged impostors, burnt by the sun
Pillars never fallen, Ašur’s unyielding might
Raised on desecrated blood for thee revered gods
Where boundless wisdom and scrolls remained untold
Instead vain shrines of conceit stood boldly tall
612 brought forth, Haldi’s relentless wrath
Glorious Ninveh in embers, engulfed in Shivini’s flames

The atmosphere of this album is fantastic. Makes you feel like you're knee-deep in the trenches drenched in mud, filth, sweat, and blood. Truly encapsulates the horrors of World War I, and the fact that the lyrics of some of the songs are taken from old war letters really adds to the authenticity.

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
