As a ghost I’ve wondered through the valley of dead
Silent and dark, towards oblivion
Many have passed me, many have failed
For this valley is the death throne of millions
And within these cold mountains
A beast reigns supreme
A perversion of life and existence
A dragon
A seven headed dragon
Horns of black steel and claws of death
That will tear this world apart
A splendorous serpent
A beast full of grace
None but servant to the queen of the dead
Upon the great serpent
Rides Babylon
The mother of all harlots
And abominations of the earth
Drunken with the blood
Of the saints
Kings overthroned
By her majesty the whore
La traversée du désert n'aura pas duré quarante jours mais quatre longues années...
Avec Панихида, Батюшка renaît enfin de ses cendres et, bien que désormais seul (ou plus exactement entouré de deux chanteurs), Христофор accomplit un miracle. Il s'inscrit dans la continuité de Литоургиiа avec un black metal orthodoxe qui nous convie ici à une cérémonie dédiée aux morts. Sa vision est englobante : les mélodies, la gravité et le silence font toucher le paradis ; l'agressivité est luciférienne. 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
From the depths of the battered earth this cathedral monolith arises to subdue the feelings of thousands of broken souls with their litanies that will make you tremble to the sound of forbidden chords that emit the melodies of Aara within So Fallen alle Tempel its black metal is from another dimension ... the Aara's bells echoes into our souls ...
