lyrics

What dry terrain has been travelled
To fix my eyes on the falling water
To blink only when winds sear my eyes
Only when tears drop and wander
I desired a final solution
Danced around my own proclivity
If the wind took the Gods, their statues, their men
Then, without force, it too will reap me
Throw me in with the dry idols
Traversed the cold, traversed the bright
Obsessed over the luminary who denies his light
Passed through the gates, passed through in chains
For freedom-Death, the darkness of a starless night
Traversed the cold, traversed the bright
Passed through the gates, passed through in chains
Across the sun, across volcanic ash
Remains of the earth, ruins of the past
The dry idols call my name
Arid beneath the deluge
I join them, but not to honor them
To be where I belong
Dead amongst the dead Gods
In defiance of the living ones

Kelle Surut Soi
by Havukruunu

supported by 11 fans who also own “The Dry Idols”

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

Söngvar elds og óreiðu
by Misþyrming

supported by 10 fans who also own “The Dry Idols”

Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long! Lukas Kaufmann
