I just so happened to listen to this on YouTube the other day, and it reminded me of just how good Mephorash are at their best. So, naturally, I came back to Bandcamp to ensure that I got my hands on this album. Jarak
Just an excellent concept EP all around, and being Sinmara there's these signature nuanced elements you hear throughout, and it's glorious. Everything this band has done thus far is brilliant. D.
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
