lyrics
Fractured, splintered, earth,
tread upon with care,
now as stillness fills the air.
Wrapped in mist this crater,
dormant centuries has lain,
yet now the warmth of life
has returned.
Shallow breath,
here thunderous resounds,
and the heaving of the waves
upon the shoreline as they pound.
A rhythm primal
building up surrounds,
reverberating deep into the
hallowed ancient ground.
Voices on the wind intoning, chanting, screaming, crying.
The anger here is palpable,
amidst this madness, flowing.
I fear my mind is slipping, failing, giving in,
yet fully knowing,
something stirs beneath me;
Something here is growing.
Terror waxes full,
Gripping heart and blurring sight.
My shivering form illuminated in this black moonlight.
A mighty force emerging,
tremors stir the shifting earth.
Bursting from the craters heart,
behold this dark rebirth.
Cracked tomb, broken silence,
into the night once more.
The Black Wolf long lay buried,
unleashes crippling roar.
Announcing the end,
the ritual of the lake
now fulfilled.
He turns towards me now,
his bestial eyes ablaze.
Such utter power,
lies within his gaze.
Judging worthy, my soul,
laid bare before his sight.
Baring teeth, he grins.
Casting breath upon my skin,
darkened visions form within,
madness heralding my transformation,
becoming Arctos risen.
My shredded flesh,
cast off and strewn about me;
The remnants of my once self.
My senses are afire.
I revel in this new power,
this old form,
a beast of the ancient race.
I throw back my head,
and howl with wicked glee.
Shattered tomb, endless screams,
Into the night we rise.
The Black Wolf, long lay buried,
now rises to the sky.
Bringing to close,
the ritual now at end.
Winds howl, the forest burns,
Arctos risen again!

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
