lyrics
Fragile time, so precious, yet set to fall.
The signs, long seen in their coming,
yet ignorance spake it’s cruel call.
Would that I had seen,
with eyes swept clear of foolish desires.
Now sorrow remains, my constant companion,
waits with me, as sunlight fades.
This is beauty’s end, to wither and die.
To collapse and to crumble,
beneath this uncaring sky.
Autumn’s herald, ever has been,
biding its time, watching, unseen,
now spreading its touch of helpless decay,
over my heart and the land.
The cloak, cast off now,
Once so vibrant, once so alive.
Though wish as I might,
It cannot survive.
Stripped bare before me, the truth of you,
unburdened it lies.
The sun has now set, and with it,
the light of life dies.
Wasted, desolation, whispers of past joys long gone.
Each step, treads on dead leaves,
shrivelled, encased now in frost.
The land lays hollow, As hollow, am I.
Numb to all else, As time passes on.
Left to reflect on all that once was,
Alone now, to wait for the dawn.
The quiet solace of sorrow's touch,
A comfort it seems now to me.
The rays of this new day,
It's glimmering light, a promise...
A promise of life yet to be?
This is beauty’s end, to wither and die.
To collapse and to crumble,
beneath this uncaring sky.
Autumn’s herald, ever has been,
biding its time, watching, unseen,
now spreading its touch of helpless decay,
over my heart and the land.

NONE a opéré un virage dans Where Life Should Be et ça se confirme davantage dans Damp Chill of Life. Le temps des métaphores est révolu : l'humidité froide, c'est celle des larmes qui coulent sur le visage à cause de la dépression. Tout pleure dans cet album : les guitares typées DSBM grésillent, les solos ("The Damp Chill of Life", "It's Painless To Let Go") sont liquides et coulent, les voix prennent à la gorge ; même le piano, étranglé par les sanglots ("Cease"), est aphone. Insoutenable... Jordan Vauvert

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

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
