Mors Triumphalis is the will’s triumph,
Impulse of heroes who disdained demise.
With clear mind, not in delirium’s dusk –
Towards their death, with wide-open eyes!
Breast ‘gainst spears, with rage of wolves,
Throwing yourself to a target – to kill,
Right up your last – beat, if even fall,
Rip, dig your teeth, cut throats, tear!
Wash echoes of doubts out in blood,
Being rigid as steel, turn out your fears!
Be true to yourself and the only goal –
Pure as rock crystal must be your ideas!
Death doesn’t frighten the obviously dead.
Wrath and resolve ‘re on his austere face,
Apotheosis of a warrior life is in death,
Fight ‘gainst futile dreams at the fireplace.
Owing to fight, fury in hot blood will seethe! -
Having entrusted your heart to the war god,
Without fear of defeat, fight till you breathe –
If your flesh wrecks, soul will be hurrahed!
Valor is like a core in northerners genes!
Spirit of born war-wolves is like a storm –
It’s kept neither in fetters, nor other means!
Carrion of foes is for pigs and for worms!
Scars of deep wrinkles will never cover
Faces of ageless sons of Motherland,
Glory will wash them with blood-red shower,
To fathers’ credit and mothers’ pangs.
Turning your eyes towards the foes,
Reap and attack! No one step back!
Neither divine joy, nor hellish woe!
Perish? In action! Nice life’s final track!

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

Abigail Williams has had a weird career with hiatuses and lineup changes, but they have finally perfected their sound on Walk Beyond the Dark. This album has such a refreshing and natural feeling that makes it one of the top atmospheric black metal albums of recent years. Ryan
