lyrics

The wind is whispering of nothingness
The bleeding wounds that can never heal
It speaks through all the withered trees
Once so drunk on lives futility
Without eyelids and mobility
Without Gods or conformity
The truthfulness of all your suffering
For the soulless majesty

And as you’re dragged across the empty plains
To grind away your last mortality
You see clear what never was and couldn’t be
Try to repent but to what end?
The sand of time will hide their last remains
So tell me are you one of them?
Or can you break free from those carnal chains
To join the pale rider once again

From afar I behold them
All those who groveled and crawled
All those who grasped for the clouds
And yearned for something more

For you who stare into the glaring sun and hope
I shall remove that veil to show
That nothing awaits but that gloomy void

A truly stellar death/doom album with heavy doses of black metal. Tracks like Isolation, Child of Light, and Broken Hymns deliver the sorrowful and icy tone of this album, elevated by the stirring cello compositions of Raphael Weinroth-Browne. The album delivers a deeply satisfying crescendo in Becoming Intangible before stirring the soul once again with Epilogue. Matt Richardson

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

PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it. That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter. Matten
