Par laikiem, ko neviens vairs neatceras
Būs tas sen aizmirstais stāsts
Kā pār jūru te atnāca ļaudis
Un uz dzīvi Prūsijā apmetās
Tos atveda divi brāļi
Videvuds un Prūtenis
Bij’ viņu vārdi
Un deva tie prūšiem likumus
Un trīs dievus, ko turēt par svētiem
Kļuva Videvuds tad par virsaiti
Bet viņa brālis pirmais vaidelots, krīvu krīvs
Un kad palika brāļi sirmi un veci
Tad sasauca Rāmavā ļaudis
Un lika tiem sacīt
Pie sevīm tagad dievi mūs sauc
“Abi vecie vīri paņēma viens otru pie rokas, un ar dziesmām devās ugunī un sadega.
Un notika tā, ka visā Prūsijā vēl pēc tam daudzās vietās pielūdza viņus kā dievus.”
Baltus zibeņus
Pērkons spēra
Uguns upuri
Dievi sev ņēma
Svētajai ugunij
Ziedojās dzīvs
Virsaitis Videvuds
Un Prūtenis, krīvu krīvs
A Pagan black metal masterpiece.
Folk and black metal elements fuse into one extremely catchy and awe inspiring album. This band does not disappoint from all the high praise sent it's way. Abyssius Murkraken
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
Литоургиiа réussit l'impensable : faire entrer le black metal dans l'église orthodoxe. S'il y a une dimension dramaturgique (indissociable de tout office religieux), Литоургиiа reste profond, solennel et touche le sublime.
Après la sortie de cet album a lieu un Grand Schisme et un larcin : Христофор se fait dépouiller de son propre groupe par Барфоломей et Мартин ; tout ce qui reste ici provient de ces deux hérétiques. Suivez la procession de Батюшка ici : https://sphieratz.bandcamp.com/album/- Jordan Vauvert
Bridging Nordic black metal with traditional Celtic folk, the Idaho crushers forge heavy music with a heroic medieval spirit. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 11, 2023
Listening to this on shrooms was haunting, which made it into a serious trip! Which was a mistake I was not prepared for. I do have something to say about it though on why I think it such. I have personally experienced several tipi ceremonies. One would stay up through the night, consuming peyote, doing in some sense a molting process and does so by connecting you to the spirit world.
This album does this, but different - I say it transcends that experience, and does it well... On shrooms.
