HEXVESSEL, Dawnbearer (Svart, 2011)

Escuchando este disco no pude dejar de pensar en los poemas de Aleister Crowley, sobre todo aquel que se titula "Himno a Lucifer" y dice,

Ware, nor of good nor ill, what aim hath act?
Without its climax, death, what savour hath
Life? an impeccable machine, exact
He paces an inane and pointless path
To glut brute appetites, his sole content
How tedious were he fit to comprehend
Himself! More, this our noble element
Of fire in nature, love in spirit, unkenned
Life hath no spring, no axle, and no end.

His body a bloody-ruby radiant
With noble passion, sun-souled Lucifer
Swept through the dawn colossal, swift aslant
On Eden's imbecile perimeter.
He blessed nonentity with every curse
And spiced with sorrow the dull soul of sense,
Breathed life into the sterile universe,
With Love and Knowledge drove out innocence
The Key of Joy is disobedience.

Que bonito! En fin, nunca me gustaron mucho los poemas del rechoncho Crowley.

De todos modos este disco es fantastico. Lento, introspectivo, embrujante, nostalgico, acustico, con mucho de folk, pero nada de folk metal. Definitivamente situado a años luz del metal de punta de Dodheimsgard que el Capitan Kvohst suele practicar. Ademas nos cae como perla considerando que proviene de Finlandia y que ultimamente hemos estado preocupados por la historia subte de esa nacion.
