True character is shown not in how love begins, but in how it ends. Her cruelty becomes her ultimate evidence.

Final Proof

Wrote it My Way

 "Requiem for ÖsterKnut" is a funeral mass in music form — a cycle of hymns written from betrayal, rage, and grief, transformed into mercy, confession, and release.
The album traces the arc of a single year:
Prologue – innocence and fragile beginnings (ÖsterKnut, Ashes Before Dawn, The Garden and the Lie).
Betrayal – the collapse, deceit, and fury (The Theatre of Lies, Signed Under Duress, The River Takes Them All).
Reckoning – confronting scars, jealousy, rage, and confession (Five Stones Down the River, Benediction of Rage, No Shadows to Hide).
Mercy – closing in light, accepting scars, and carrying forward love in transformed form (The Eternal Gift, Love Changes Shape, The Last Light I Carry).
The music blends western-soul, gospel lament, and big-band brass with cinematic depth: trombone solos, gospel choirs, haunting choir shouts, and orchestral strings. Female-only vocals (ethereal and grounded) weave through the requiem, echoing both fragility and defiance.
This is not a love album. It is a burial. A requiem for a broken knot, and a hymn for anyone scarred by betrayal but still choosing to rise.

The Eternal Gift

Ashes and Brass: The Småland Second Line Jazz Funeral Parade is a dark, cinematic journey where Southern Gothic murder ballads collide with the haunted landscapes of Småland. Inspired by the ritual power of New Orleans jazz funerals and the raw storytelling tradition of the blues, the album unfolds as a requiem for betrayal, damnation, and release.
Across eight tracks, the record moves like a funeral procession: “Seven Curses” delivers judgment one curse at a time, with choirs chanting numbers like a ritual. “The Devil’s Bride” reimagines the archetype of Jezebel as a soul sold to darkness. “No Mercy at the River” turns the water itself into a judge that refuses to cleanse. “The Rumors Were True” gives voice to the whispers of a village, making gossip into prophecy. At the album’s heart stands “Ashes in Her Mouth”, a heavy dirge where brass, strings, and choirs thunder in a curse that cannot be undone.
From there, the story widens into a vow of vengeance in “Tenfold Interest”, and into catharsis with “No More Ghosts”, a declaration of survival and release. Finally, the title track “The Småland Second Line Jazz Funeral Parade” closes the procession as an instrumental epilogue, merging Swedish church bells, brass fanfares, and gospel cadences into one final march into darkness.
This is not just an album, but a Southern Gothic requiem: brass, organ, gospel choirs, strings, and funeral drums creating a soundscape that feels both like a New Orleans funeral march and a Småland churchyard at dusk. A work that speaks to betrayal, judgment, damnation – and the hope of walking away free from ghosts.

The Panther’s Flame: An Homage to Rustaveli
A tribute to Georgia’s national poet by The House of Christian Eusterqnute
Eight centuries ago, in the golden age of Georgia, a poet gave the world a masterpiece. Shota Rustaveli (c. 1160 – after 1220) wrote The Knight in the Panther’s Skin, an epic that celebrates love, loyalty, friendship, and universal human dignity. Written in the reign of Queen Tamar, it remains as relevant today as it was in the 1200s.
This album is a homage to Rustaveli and Georgia. His quatrains are woven directly into gospel-soul compositions, where choirs, brass, and strings lift his timeless words into a new soundscape. Lines like “He who has not tasted love does not know what life is” or “What jewel is greater than a friend? None” stand at the heart of these songs.
It is only a glimpse — we draw on small portions of Rustaveli’s vast epic of 1,600 quatrains. His work is far greater than any musical adaptation could capture. This is a humble offering, a flame borrowed from his eternal torch.

Rustaveli’s dream endures.
Love is the crown of the human race.


რვა საუკუნის წინ, საქართველოს ოქროს ხანაში, ერთმა პოეტმა კაცობრიობას შემოუნახა შედევრი. შოთა რუსთაველი (დაახლ. 1160 – 1220-ის შემდეგ) შექმნა ვეფხისტყაოსანი, ეპოსი, რომელიც სავსეა სიყვარულის, მეგობრობის, ერთგულებისა და ადამიანის ღირსების იდეალებით. თამარ მეფის მეფობის ხანაში დაწერილი, იგი დღესაც ისეთივე აქტუალურია, როგორც XIII საუკუნეში.
ეს ალბომი არის ხოტბა რუსთაველსა და საქართველოს. მისი ოთხსტრიქონიანი სტროფები გადმოცემულია სოულისა და გოსპელის ჟღერადობაში, სადაც გუნდები, საყვირები და სიმები ახალ სინათლეს ანიჭებენ მის საუკუნო სიტყვებს. ფრაზები, როგორიცაა: „ვისაც სიყვარული არა უგემნია, სიცოცხლე არა უნახავს“ და „მეგობარზე ძვირფასი ძვირფასეულობა არ არსებობს“ — დგას თითოეული სიმღერის გულში.
ეს მხოლოდ მცირე მონაჭერია — რუსთაველის ეპოსი 1600-ზე მეტ სტროფს მოიცავს. მისი სიდიადე ბევრად აღემატება ყოველგვარ მუსიკალურ ადაპტაციას. ეს არის მდაბალი შესაწირი, ნაპერწკალი მისი მარადიული ალიდან.
რუსთაველის ოცნება ცოცხლობს.
სიყვარული არის გვირგვინი კაცობრიობისა.

Love Beyond the Crown

© 2025 WhoaProductions – All Rights Reserved

The return to one. 
One life 
One love 
One world. 
The life  
Of a tree 
Standing 
And free 
Come and see 
The light in me. 
Do or do you 
Not believe? 
The proof is  
In the air 
Your breath 
You don’t have 
To stare.

One Life

The Autumn Confessions is a stripped, intimate journey through the soul of The House of Christian Eusterqnute — a gathering of songs once layered in cinematic sound, now reborn in raw honesty.
Recorded unplugged with acoustic guitars, upright piano, and subtle organic textures, this album captures the essence of imperfection, breath, and truth.
Each performance reveals the human beneath the production — the quiet confessions that echo when the lights dim and the microphones stay close.
From heartbreak to healing, from silence to surrender, The Autumn Confessions is not about perfection — it’s about presence.
These are alternative, unplugged versions of songs from across The Easter Knot Records universe — The Easter Knot, Österknut, Christian Eusterqnute, and more — united by one season, one voice, one light fading into gold.
