lyrics
'tis bitter joy, as winter evenings wear
before a smoking hearth which flames aghast,
to hear slow memories mounting from the past,
while church-bells pierce the pall of misty air.
blessèd the flawless bell, of metal rare,
the full-toned bourdon, void of rift and rust,
which like a guardsman faithful to his trust
hurls forth unfailingly its call to prayer!
my soul's a riven bell, that timidly
would fill the frozen night with melody,
but oft it falters, whisperingly weak
as, echoing over lakes of blood, a shriek
muffled by mounds of dead, from one who lies
moveless as they, though struggling till he dies.
(charles baudelaire, taken from 'les fleurs du mal')

After some very promising early releases, Harrow finally entered the realm of the masters of American Atmospheric/Folk black metal with this album. A great example of Cascadian music that still has Harrow's unique sound and elements. Karanthir
