Aboard the deck of the French mariana
I waited impatient
Waiting to set sail, silent
And as Poseidon took command of the ship
I knew the worst was yet to come
Into the deep
In search of rumour
From Varna we crept close
Speak of the dead
Rising from the grave
Empty coffins where corpses
once remained
In the ruins of Germany
Those olden tales revealed
By the Seine a presence i felt
A living ghost, inhuman
Blasphemy
Not of this world
In search of rumour
From Varna we crept close
Speak of the dead
Rising from the grave
Empty coffins where corpses
once remained
We were led
Into their den
In search of rumour
From Varna we crept close
Speak of the dead
Rising from the grave
Empty coffins where corpses
once remained
An invitation
Sealed with black magic
Cursed by the light
Death in all its glory
Fiends posing as human actors
To a crowd they devoured their vermin

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
