lyrics

Great pyres will burn in celebration of sacrifice
Those who lay down their lives in mute rectitude
Our songs will chime in leaf-dappled valleys
The forests will ring with thy names

A storm is coming, the skies thus darken
Moonlight gleams upon oceans of iron
Shadows reach across heath-shrouded hills
Murderous intent exhales

Feet planted on the black earth
Sword-haft gripped, eyes like flint
None shall pass whilst breath in thy body moves
Unyielding. Remorseless.

Guardian until death!

Bound in life to honour
Bound in death to glory
A credo of stone
A code of iron

To defend with full force
To repel those who would defile
To stand, steadfast and unbreakable
To the very end

These cold rivers run with the blood of the slain
Soils steeped in tragedy and ruin
Yet stained with sorrow though it may be
The bedrock of these fells remains unbroken

I fall – alone and unmourned,
I fall – unwitnessed my passing
I fall – unsung my song of ending
In death, valiant.

about

FELLWARDEN England, UK

Fellwarden was a concept forged by The Watcher (Fen, De Arma) back in 2014 to give voice to an epic, exultant form of black metal that nonetheless carries with it echoes of deep lamentation and remembrance.

Kelle Surut Soi

supported by 115 fans who also own “In Death, Valiant”

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
