"I am trapped in your crimson glow. Our hearts grew apart, yet I still hold you close. We trapped ourselves in the past of what we used to know. Forever casting a shadow of relentless insecurity. Here you are, dressed in decay. Wishing for a new day without the pain. Within this hopeless life, meeting you has brought forth the light. I am trapped in your crimson glow. Our hearts grew apart, yet I still hold you close. I will descend into the fires of doubt. Deafening screams pierce through my thoughts as winter's breath tightens the knot. I will descend into the fires of doubt. Lost within myself. Blackened truth behind the veils of your plea, decipher the epitaphs brought unto thee. The darkness follows close, prevailing in the hearts of those who've lost, and whose grown. Falling back into your glow. I am trapped in your crimson glow. Our hearts grew apart, yet I still hold you close.

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
Joseph Hawker subverts the musical and sociopolitical status quo with a black metal triptych that's as incendiary as it is impressionistic. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 5, 2022
