They feel deeply towards their Finn-Karelian (Lake Laatokka area) bloodroots.
Various instruments; modern/ancient ones such as Finland's national instrument Kantele, Cello or things to pound like Shaman drum..
Will's glimmer in darkness. Echoes from starfields. Flow of rivers.
Life's an expression!

New album: “MORBIDE ELITE” - coming soon on Iron Age Records !
Since worldwide crisis with wars and famine are a true human pain, the drunk poor pest-brewing trolls got their good times. Since their pact with the crows their succes became giant. The drunk trolls are dead, the New Elite is born. We write in times where people are praying their God for forgiving their sins, to keep away His thorn of disease. Expect a mindblowing fast black metal masterpiece with a confronting sound of medieval infecting grief. The whole world is dying.

After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem sung on myspace...
Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse (please see my blog): TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001
Where traditions are not so rare; Sea, country and works scent the air; A multitude of monuments, Planted tubs and patterned pavements.
The longish pedestrian malls; The remnants of defensive walls; Historic buildings are a gauge Of the respect for heritage.
Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; Estuaries guarded by shields; Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; Romantic-ruin go-betweens.
Rivers in parts licked by trees, Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, And crossed by practical delights - Varied spans, forming pleasing sights.
Fine churches headed at Durham; Football kits ad infinitum; Kept castles - one for study; Masonry behind masonry.
And, with moulding-works out that way, It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?
HEY !! Check out our station at www.metalmessiahradio.com & Also join me (DJ Wishmaster) EVERY MONDAY !!! AT 10am-12pm EST , 17.00 - 19.00 TGM ON METAL MAGIC LIVE SHOW !!!
From the great sky over the sea our great father looks at us and Hunnin and Munnin lifts her flight from the Midgar crossing the stars crossing the Finfrost The Valkyries go down and coming up to Midgar into this battle, our brothers die stain the soil of blood stain the pasture of pain stain the earth of death with the swords & axes we are going to fight we are going to win The right to live in all freedom!
For our soul! For our hearth! For our dinasty! We leave to the ancient land! The place of the brave! We leave the live fixed to the earth Crossing the fire Into the wisdom We're going to fight to defend The lands that us belong!
Written by MÄGÄLK WOTAN!
