lyrics
An old king sits upon an oaken throne.
His posture noble, regardless of the toll of times.
Now weary, but once a mighty warrior.
Strong by form, just by heart.
For long he has ruled,
But now in an old age his mind wanders back to his youth.
He remembers the times of glory,
The adventurous days, the passionate nights.
He has sailed the myriad seas.
Fought the elements at the barren north.
Life's misfortunes were just new challenges
to experience and to learn from.
In his reign there was no blame,
nor did he evade his duties.
But to rule was never his passion,
though a task he had to honour.
The memories, although polished by passing time, hold a place in his heart.
He has lived a full life, and this he knows.
When his chapter ends he can rest free of earthly woes.
The old king sits upon an oaken throne.
A grin still visible on his weathered face.
When they come to carry him away
to a rest well-deserved
His posture noble, regardless of the toll of times.
Now weary, but once a mighty warrior.
Strong by form, just by heart.
For long he has ruled,
But now in an old age his mind wanders back to his youth.
He remembers the times of glory,
The adventurous days, the passionate nights.
He has sailed the myriad seas.
Fought the elements at the barren north.
Life's misfortunes were just new challenges
to experience and to learn from.
In his reign there was no blame,
nor did he evade his duties.
But to rule was never his passion,
though a task he had to honour.
The memories, although polished by passing time, hold a place in his heart.
He has lived a full life, and this he knows.
When his chapter ends he can rest free of earthly woes.
The old king sits upon an oaken throne.
A grin still visible on his weathered face.
When they come to carry him away
to a rest well-deserved

about
Nest Finland
Nest strives to capture the atmosphere of hidden pools amidst the woods, faint calls of owls echoing through the woods, sparkling waterfalls and vast snow covered landscapes - the solemnity, tranquility and brutality of nature.

Uuden Kuun Aika I&II
by KallomäkiDark and mystical Finnish folk influenced rituals. Driven by the traditional Finnish bowed lyre - Jouhikko
go to album -
A darker, heavier, evolution of Nest. Ritualistic, shamanistic, and prehistoric themes realized via atmospheric acoustic and electric soundscapes, A.T.'s distinctive kantele, and powerful vocals.
go to album -
Syven continues with a more introspective release incorporating delicate natural mysticism with ancient Templar mythology. The pantheon of the woodlands fuses with the cathedrals of men.

I met Fogweaver through Vedurnan and, later, Magelight. This more energetic take on their music is wonderful and exciting, a compelling twist bearing their unique signature.

Mikolaj is a real multi-talent in bass as well as guitar as well as vocals and "Darkside" Maciej's drumming is a well-calibrated 100th-of-seconds-clockwork. Not for nothing is Mgla considered as a standard for a lot of other blacker-than-black metal bands. I hope to see this band live once.....
