lyrics
Ihr haust in dunklen Kellern
Ihr speist an edlen Tafeln
Es gibt nichts was euch eint
Außer Eure Hörigkeit
Zum feinen Klang der Flöte
Die der Rattenfänger spielt
Kommt die Plage angekrochen
Weil sie nach Vergeltung zielt
Warum glaubt ihr euch befreit im Bann der Unterwürfigkeit?
Wenn Worte Pfeilen gleichen
Und Schuld auf andere zeigt
Zelebriert ihr voller Stolz
Das Rattenritual
Seit ihr euch ergötzt
Am Leid der anderen
Seitdem existiert
Das Rattenritual
Sie werfen euch zum Fraße
Was sie vernichten wollen
Und ihr nehmt dankend an
Aus Lust nach Sensation
Mich schaudert es voll Ekel
Vor eurer Devotion
Warum entsagt ihr blind
Eurer eigenen Person?
Wo sind jene die begreifen
Dass falscher Stolz nur Blendwerk ist?
Wer erkennt das Gift der Masse
Wie es das freie Denken frisst?
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
