about
I seethe tormented entangled in nightmares
lyrics
I seethe tormented entangled in nightmares
Acursed far seer, potent and dreadful
Connived desperate souls mesmerized
He gapes and yawns from time far beyond
I foresee the encroaching madness
Chained to his throne he sleeps and dreams
Umbrage observation covered in cosmic dust
Leviathan at the center of the swirling chaos
The looming darkness, the coming doom, the crouching beast, he lies beneath shadows far
The moon is right for his return
He comes to craft, to curse and doom
He lies in wait just beyond the gates
Caught in malignant spells, in the presence of evil
Loathsome, repulsive, obscure, highest monstrosity.

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
I can't formally retract the erroneous 2.0 I gave this back in 2018, but I can say that, five years on, I've come around to this record in a big way. Quality death metal with great atmosphere without being "atmospheric" (read: boring) metal. Diabolus in Muzaka
