My creator was consumed with revenge
Consumed with revenge against life itself
Pointe Du Lac my plantation he sought
Unaware of the danger we wrought
He sowed the seeds to his own destruction
Blood fiend
We own the night
And from empty plates we dine
As this haunted house burns
I curse the day i was born
Venus shone to light a broken path
From there i wandered to the edge of my lands
I overheard the slaves speak of revolt
They realized it was Satan they served
Blood fiend
We own the night
And from empty plates we dine
As this haunted house burns
I curse the day i was born
I have thrown it all away
Into the black horizon
This is no drunken nightmare
The opium claret its charm i resisted
On the corpses of bats i feasted
By my own hand i cannot die
A sinner in all eyes
A hex, a curse, a coward am I
The end in sight
Our game recognized
Their whiplashed bodies
came screaming blasphemies
With the moon as my witness
I tore down the curtain
The stars wept in silence
As the gazed upon the slaughter
I left it all behind to rot

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
