lyrics
Ich hab’ genug von ihren Phrasen, getränkt in Arroganz und Überheblichkeit
Ich hab’ genug von ihren Lehren, geboren aus dem Wunsch nach absoluter Hörigkeit
Ich hab’ genug von ihren Taten, getrieben von der Sehnsucht nach Macht und Kapital
Ich hab’ genug von ihrer Nähe und kann es nicht leugnen: Sie sind in der Überzahl
Warum lässt du dich blenden?
Sie schließen dich ein, doch du küsst ihre Hand
Warum lässt du dich verführen?
Sie stellen dich mit dem Rücken an die Wand
Es wird Zeit dich zu befreien
Von dieser grässlichen Verlogenheit
Es wird Zeit dich zu verändern
So überwinde Deine eigene Eitelkeit
Exilexistenz
Am Rand der Meute
Asyl fernab der Dekadenz
Exilexistenz
Eremitendasein
Exilexistenz
Agitatorresistenz
Ich kann dies alles nicht verstehen
Wohin verschwand die Bildung, wohin verschwand Vernunft?
An welchem Tag seid ihr erblindet?
Wann wurdet ihr zu Feinden eurer eigenen Zunft?
Dies alles lässt mich resignieren
Die Hoffnung auf Reform verblasst in Ignoranz
Während jene triumphieren
Die selbsternannten Führer und ihre Ordonnanz
“O cives, cives quaerenda pekunia primum est, virtus post nummos.” (Horaz)
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.

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
The first 30 seconds of "Revenge by Fire" convinced me to get the whole album! It is a face-melting blend of speed and black metal, reminiscent of Hellripper! KVAEN is a Swedish solo project much like Hellripper but many known guest musicians helped J. Björnfot in his endeavor. Altogether it is really a solid debut album, I loved the melodies and the pace changes in the second half too, ending with a "calm" instrumental one. Well-done!! sachavonkarl74
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
