lyrics
A path, ever bending
In shadows, unending
Lays now ahead on this spire, ascending
to wreathed peak unseen,
this monolith, mighty,
invites one to dare, to climb
One by one,My feet draw me on,
The slope ever steepens,
With each footfall gone,
Silent this trail,
Yet thought, silence breeds,
Turbid mind, Troubled; I climb
Black are my thoughts
and black is this spire
this mountain, my anvil
my thoughts are as fire.
What shall be wrought
when summit is reached?
What shall await
atop silent peak?
Chilling snow, fully encompassed
trees are as wraiths, forms twist and fade
now left behind, above the tree line
a face hewn of stone; onwards I climb!
My body protests
but pain holds no weight
the path here is sheer
the summit draws near.
In ruin this slope, echoes borne of stone
among this dead rock
I am alone!
A clarity of vision and mind unclouded
grant unto me
The peak yields solace
and wisdom unbound
yet given not freely
to walk in the shade
of this mountain dark
a mortal forge
beaten and hammered
to form new perspective
new strength
from powers old
taken from this welcome cold
atop this spire silent!

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

I'd say Havukruunu is the rightful holder of the Crown and the mantle of Quorthon. Epic choirs, vikingesque themes and tales from the other times, of the Finnish paganism back in the days before our ancestors were brought to the cross and forced to kneel while feeling the bloody sword of saviour on their throats made to kiss the hand of murderers who burnt thousands, tore down our holy places and took our holy days. Eyes teary I listen to these songs, never forgiving the crimes of the cross! Peikonmieli

Mikolaj is a real multi-talent in bass as well as guitar as well as vocals and "Darkside" Maciej's drumming is a well-calibrated 100th-of-seconds-clockwork. Not for nothing is Mgla considered as a standard for a lot of other blacker-than-black metal bands. I hope to see this band live once..... grote_smurf

A Pagan black metal masterpiece.
Folk and black metal elements fuse into one extremely catchy and awe inspiring album. This band does not disappoint from all the high praise sent it's way. Abyssius Murkraken
