lyrics
In moments of fear we forge our darkest weapons
No matter what the cost to life itself or this place
The carpenter will never atone for what he has wrought
upon the world and all the innocents that it has sought
the ringing in his ears grows louder each and every day
All the knowledge through his years, wasted this way
We beckon the horsemen to ride onward
Dressage laid on as we set our gaze elsewhere
We are the eye of the storm yet to come
Grains of sand pouring through our fingers
We strive to reinvent the wheel in different ways
That it may spin dreadfully on ourselves
The carpenter will never atone for what he has wrought
upon the world and all the innocents that it sought
the ringing in his ears grow louder each and everyday
All the knowledge through his years, wasted this way

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

The atmosphere of this album is fantastic. Makes you feel like you're knee-deep in the trenches drenched in mud, filth, sweat, and blood. Truly encapsulates the horrors of World War I, and the fact that the lyrics of some of the songs are taken from old war letters really adds to the authenticity.

How to find the right words to praise this work of genius? I already loved their previous album deeply - and still do. But this is seriously next level stuff. It's more refined, sophisticated and so well crafted and elaborated that you can only drop your jaw and drool. Unbelievably good and should be known to each and every metalhead out there. I'm not one to talk about AOTY but this is a candidate to appear in those lists if I ever heard one. Masterpiece 🖤 Go, spread the word 🤘 mourner

Late 90's BM worship, but it's also a lil more than that. This album takes the best elements from the scene it's inspired by and mostly avoids the worst of it; the song-writing is well-written, it's performed with passion and fun, and the production is raw but isn't lo-fi. (i.e. it doesn't obfuscate and/or suckass).
Tl;dr It's safe but high quality BM. Recommended. Rabbit
