about

Track 8 from The Doom of Almand (2018)

lyrics

Took him from the field of dead
Laid his body upon a pyre
Placed his helm upon his head
Cleansed his soul with pagan fire
Tales of wars he won
Sung by skalds in hall up high
There his time has begun
Where valiant warriors never die

Almand your doom
For a chief there is no tomb
Purified by pagan fire
Almand our lord
Live and die by the sword
Flames send your spirit to the sky

Men gather to hail their chief
Flames light up the valley this night
Their hearts burning with grief
Almand departs in the dying light
To Valhalla his soul is sent
With Odin he feasts and tells his tale
Now his saga is at an end
His name lives on in Longdendale

Almand your doom
For a chief there is no tomb
Purified by pagan fire
Almand our lord
Live and die by the sword
Flames send your spirit to the sky

The new chief cleanses his crimson blade
As the spirit of Almand begins to fade away
Lewin claims his throne atop the bloody Redgate
Ruling with Ineld’s hand, for his next trial he waits

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
