Father of Sickness

Fetid incense fills the chamber
I dim the candles one by one
Behold me now when I am weakest
At the hour of my demise
Bless me, o father of sickness
Thy realm of rot awaits the chosen
A hollow voice calls to me from the void
Shaken are the foundations of sanity
From the poisoned abyss of my mind
I utter the words of dread
My frail body crumbles from the channeling
I surrender myself to the lord of worms

The Watcher

O watcher of the old world
Voice of the ancient spirits
Speak through thy dormancy
Bless us with twilight wisdom
A thousand millennia have passed
Crooked ideals oozing poison
Corrupting the black matter
Thy slumber still untouched
Verminkind soiling thy kingdom
A congregation of impotence
United under false banners
A symbol for the fall to come
Abominations and horrors, tremble
Iron-clad hand clutching the blade
In the filth the foul will fester
Unworthy of the life essence
A call from beyond the stars
Two worlds melting into one
The awakening of the celestial being
Thy judgement hour has come
A sword to pierce the darkness
Beheading the vile serpent
Balance must be kept
chaos forced to order
Divine fires purging the heretics
No will to forgive!
No will to forget!

The Gallows' Promise
08:57

Dawn’s first light drowned in the mist
I gaze into the rain which seems endless
Death uttered my name in the night
This morning she shall come for me
The darkened procession begins their march, always forward UGH!
The woods seem to weep as the sinner walks forth
Upon the hill, the crowd stands solemn
Like vultures, here for the flesh
Empty and lifeless are their eyes
So hungry for the song of bone
The rain keeps on pouring down
Oh how I would love to see the sun
Just for that one last time
Rope and hood deny my wish
With one swift move my world turns black
Final dance alone with the northern winds
I told you, here you will die, the gallows’ promise
The gallows’ promise

Below Black Waters
05:42
|
|
||
|
Below the countless fathoms deep
Drowned in the blackest waters
Primordial hatred in the depths
Slumbering away the putrid dreams
An abundance of starless nights
A breath of Stygian unbeing
The world canvas painted grey
A bliss of aeonic desolation
From beneath the cruel tides
A Creature as ancient as time
Cracks asunder the ocean floor
All hope lost: blackness, overtake

Chasm of Shattered Bones
05:05
|
|
||
|
Weep for the vanquisher
Who dares not to look
Eye to eye, at himself
Reflecting
From the bottom
Where the blood stands still
In the chasm of shattered bones
Woe to the wanderer
Unable to halt
Endlessly craving
To conquer
Far reaches
Of his own solitude
Mourn the tyrant
Sadistic in his supremacy
His sword does not burden
Nor does it falter
When the judgement of steel
Is the law

A Rain of Ash
10:03
|
|
||
|
Embers begin their flicker
A hypnotic, dread dance
Atlas for the weak world
Cleansing with flames and passion
A Funeral pyre for past oaths
The Purification of old ideals
Ascend into the clouds
As smoke dissipates
Screams silenced by the fumes
The Opening of one’s true eyes
My world is not below, not above
My world is not below, not above
Let the filth awaken you
Embrace the sickening downpour
Mark this as a victory
Hail me as triumphant
Charred bones remain
A rain of ash
Stronger than death itself
A rain of ash
Formless, boundless
A rain of ash
From dust to nothingness
A rain of ash

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!!
