lyrics
Thickened fog sealing in the death tonight,
encasing despair of the lonely inside
They had nowhere to hide, it seeped deep within their minds
Corruption thrives
Standing upon the precipice of chaos
I ask myself what has to be done
Faces of love distorting to rancor,
feasting upon the beauty of night.
Death to all light
What can be said? Such reticence
My people lost, entrenched in dead thought
What of my family? All that I love consumed by gray
I gaze upon their faces in the water
Frozen, belonging to somber gloom that took them from me
I feel the eerie chill of the unrepentant effluvium
casting melancholy and suffering upon my village
I do not deserve such oncoming darkness
I sense the demiurge, but I know better than to concede
My will is infallible, my determination just
Watch me as I will condemn you from my land
My essence destroys all light
Come to the lake where you’ll dissipate
Give in to the deep silent blue
Voids consuming eternity
Beautiful isn't an adjective normally usable for black metal, but here we are. I swear I didn't cry at The Beauty of the Withering Flower...... Seriously though, this is amazingly atmospheric, awesome, and sad throughout this journey of an album. jojobinx
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
