Braying in the recesses - the furthest reaches of my mind
Fiends once dormant break through crevices I can't disguise
And abstracting (their) abhorrence with whetted embered fingers
Provide no reprieve that lingers
But these wounds and burns offer serene calm
Keep the closing promise of life's window ajar
To churn through neurosis and latent foes
Whom caressed this battered body with whispered woes
Summon the light
Flood history maligned
Retire the grind
And wait for fate to rid my benight
Retreat to the sanctum till the clarion calls
And idle in boredom through the mental hell wrought
Feigning brothers
The grief bandaged smothers
Retired fire
Of hate and seared fate full of benight
And through the trials and tribulations we must toil
I long to be transported away from this meaningless coil
And as we return decrepit lives
Tempt to run cuts deeper with crooked knives
I forge content to wallow in narcotic tides
And fall to the master - curb my benight

I was always intrigued by this group's choice of album covers, it isn't every day that you see high quality space photos in this genre despite the rise of "cosmic" black metal. But the music blew me away, this sounds like Austere took the atmospheric spacey route. (I will assume it's a coincidence that both bands are Australian) porcelainheart-
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
