Libertines of all ages, of every sex, of every inclination: hearken!
Your passions, which the cold and dreary moralists tell you to fear
are no more than the means by which Nature seeks to exhort you to do Her work
Surrender to these passions and live freely!
Lewd women: emulate the lustful!
Submit yourself to pleasure's divine laws
Ignore all which contradict them!
Young virgins: pursue your fiery desires!
Throw off the restraints of your ridiculous religion
and spurn the precepts of your foolish parents
Yield to the laws of Nature which logic describes
and to the arms of willing lovers!
Lascivious men: be crafty in exploring the carnal arts!
Acknowledge no government save that of your desires
Acknowledge no limits save those of your imagination
Only in expanding the sphere of your tastes and whims
true pleasure you will find!
To all: let us realize that we have been cast into this woeful life
without our consent!
We have been assailed from the dawn of consciousness
with the sophistries of those who would gain from our confusion
If we would snatch a brief moment of pleasure
If we would plant an occasional rose along life's rocky path
We must sacrifice everything to the demands of our senses!

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

This album is just 100/100, like so many albums from mgla. How can a band hit the spot so many times? They are incredible. Thank you for accompanying me almost daily these days :) adrianradillo

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

Tout est une question de perspective.
En regardant la pochette d'Algleymi, on se dira : "c'est un constat d'échec de l'humanité face aux puissances cosmiques". Mais le gigantisme de cette silhouette est un signe que Misþyrming veut plutôt s'emparer de cette puissance et le black metal le confirmera très vite. Il est plus maîtrisé, massif et épique. Si le chant est déjà impressionnant, dégageant plus de haine, les guitares sont de leur côté absolument monumentales. Un chef-d'œuvre du genre ! Jordan Vauvert
