So much being hidden
I am never less than I am
I’m stranger, the cause of my Desolation
Fulfil the disgust
Of discovering my beliefs
Among beasts I live
The ugly destiny
Weapon of words
Give up, give up!
Shadow grew!
Another shadow
So much being hidden
I am never less than I am
I’m stranger, the cause of my Desolation
I, who seek
Whether you know
Are you so vain
Honesty is unvoiced
Weapon of words
Give up, give up!
Shadow grew!
Another shadow
The first 30 seconds of "Revenge by Fire" convinced me to get the whole album! It is a face-melting blend of speed and black metal, reminiscent of Hellripper! KVAEN is a Swedish solo project much like Hellripper but many known guest musicians helped J. Björnfot in his endeavor. Altogether it is really a solid debut album, I loved the melodies and the pace changes in the second half too, ending with a "calm" instrumental one. Well-done!! sachavonkarl74
