Sometimes the road I'm on seems much too long
Seems much too old and much too far
Sometimes the world seems empty and alone
Seems bleak and cold just like a stone
Alone....alone
Deep in the distance of a sun-ravaged land
Something glimmers on the desert sand
Sometimes the chains that bind seem much too strong
Seems like our dreams are too far gone
Sometimes the pain, it aches for days inside
Seems like there's nowhere left to hide
Alone....alone
Deep in the distance of a sun-ravaged land
Something glimmers on the desert sand
A beacon of hope in a desolate place
Obscuring the landscape where nothing ever grows
An ember of light in windswept space
A pattern in dust, my desert rose

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 truly stellar death/doom album with heavy doses of black metal. Tracks like Isolation, Child of Light, and Broken Hymns deliver the sorrowful and icy tone of this album, elevated by the stirring cello compositions of Raphael Weinroth-Browne. The album delivers a deeply satisfying crescendo in Becoming Intangible before stirring the soul once again with Epilogue. Matt Richardson
