The world of men is cloaked under a veil of weakness
In fear of failing the great Oath to the Gods
One must rise above
The pettiness, the egoism
One must battle against
The tribalism, the division
Is there any man that never wished to change this world?
To wrong all ills, to bring vengeance upon the wicked
I will hunt down the trail of betrayal
The poisonous leeches within the heart of my city
One must battle against fatalism and indecisiveness
Embrace the unknown and enter the fray
One must rise above the self
And aim towards the noble idea, the Wholeness
If only willpower was the sole key to life…
Yet, the privileged still cower at the sight of necessity
Mobilized only by half-truths and high promises
There are as many layers to a man of wisdom
As there are facades to appease the ignorant
A web of untruth that serves them unknowingly
But then, how should all trust the man of wisdom?
Differing conceptions, antagonistic desires
Kin, kingdom, caste and belief
Each man never fights for just one thing
Who are then my people?
Are they those of my kin, or my spirit?
And what is my spirit?
An idea I've been fed, or something deeper?
I will fight against obscurity
I will fight for a cleansing light

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
