Passion, honesty, and the echoes of your call. I drift on into a memory of what once was. With your hand in mine, with our hearts intertwined. Our affection as one, the riverbed flows of the essence, and a mist shrouds the gardens of endearment. I shall never leave this world without you, for my existence would be undeserving. The radiance of your safekeeping, something I adore. For your ambition is what keeps the light upon my shore. This canvas, beaten with misery, and torment. I've found the heartache resting beyond her door. Years of blindly contributing to this agony, yet not to notice this dismal life I bestow. For she was my orchid that I'd never let grow."

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
