lyrics

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 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
