lyrics
Reflected black before me,
these waters, ancient, lie,
drawing on to depthless chill.
Awaken thoughts
of journeys past
of those who came before
of those who shared my name.
Knowing that
from those long gone
a path was lain for me,
built from their lives
and passed to mine.
Yet now the waters cloud,
once so clear the way ahead,
now offers no direction,
towards my journey’s last.
No more, shall we walk
with abandon,
with spirit unburdened,
free of weighted thought.
The innocent choices,
left behind, no certainty left
within my mind. Relinquished,
and with that,
my journey can begin.
Enter now, the frigid,
turbid waves. Willingly,
into their cold embrace
Bitterly, straining on,
amidst these waters lonely.
Joyless, this passage,
my journey’s fated form.
Upon my weakened limbs,
these blackened waters pull.
Shuddering,
my strength is spent,
the depths, they call.
To think that I would better,
all the dead men of my line.
A fickle thought,
as fate would show.
Now it’s my time.
As my body fails and
‘neath the waters slips,
I close my eyes
for I am in death’s grip.
Ancient hands reach up,
and catch my ragged frame.
The echoes of my ancestors,
the fallen of my name.
For though they died,
to forge this way,
their blood this path has set.
This way of bone,
on which I walk,
shall take me onwards yet.

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
