lyrics
A parting veil: the grey mist of the dawn.
The sky light’s aflame,
Over windswept canopy,
Of lively green, so serene the scene,
catching my eyes.
Warm streams fall, as I walk on.
The changing path, calls me forth.
Greatness dawns upon the one, with heart set in stone.
The coward finds, his weakness binds, a destiny forlorn.
The path to tread, the mountain to climb.
Slumber calls, strength of will it falls, life fades away whilst
Darkness holds
Wending through forest, overgrown,
dark thoughts cloud my mind.
Light pours through the leaves,
though warmth does not reach me,
For in my heart, a truth is known;
I must leave all behind.
A solemn journey, this final path,
lit with setting sun.
As I grow cold, my heart as stone; crumbles from inside
Of weaker men, have I become; alone, my life a lie.
The path leads down, the mountain left behind.
Slumber calls, to my knees I fall, anguish takes it’s hold!
Broken! Bereft! Crawling forth, I lay outstretched.
Bleeding! Torn! My flesh is rent, upon the forest floor.
Slumber, has called:
to summon me, to bring me home.
At last I find peace; withered, alone, upon the forest floor.

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
