For those, whose mind and body never rests
For those, whose action speaks a thousand words
For those, that face their enemies up front
Who waver between excellence and destruction
As black fire rained from the sky, the sea roared
and waves the size of hills swallowed men and ships
Αt the other side, behind this chaos
we have set foot, as the earth still shook
The land speaks to me in an alien tongue
Though my blood was born in these shores
What will I find, if I dig to unearth these roots
The echo of old thoughts faints quickly here
As the collective energy rises triumphant
Powered by the fiery will of a few
The doubts of men are cast away
The grip on their weapons hardened
The rest of the world is eliminated
All power focused in one single spot
CHARGE! ONWARDS!
Waves of unseen energy
Bring us to our knees
PUSH! WITHSTAND!
Iron clashes with iron
New rivers birthed in red
ATTACK! RELENTLESSLY!
No trace of mercy
This is total war
I hear the call of the blade
It screams of unlimited potential
A world that cannot be fathomed
Under ruminations of peace
What if I were to heed it?
That which is fiercely lived
Over that which solemnly admired
From a distance
We march forward, leaving nothing but scorched earth behind
The wailing of women, like music to our ears
The Gates of the City are now closed
Not even the screaming shall escape
It will resound from these walls
Back to us forever

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

Gaerea's first release of "Unsettling Whispers" was in 2018, and since, they dared define a "black metal" niche of their own, they dared to walk a new path and stir shit up a bit in the realm of BM, this album is a masterpiece and a milestone proving that it can be done, provided the band can pull it off, and they did, oh they did! Gloomy, dark, post-BM sludgy whatever, it's Gaerea, and this one belongs in my BC collection, the end. sachavonkarl74

No excuse, I should’ve already picked this up. When people can’t agree on what you’re playing but they know it’s metal, that means you’ve done it right. Metallurgical Fire
