What a great album for the day when winter struck back. Poor my pansies...
I still seem to like Den Menschen So Fern better but I have to admit that particularly the second part of this is a banger, too. YomaBarr
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
Pleasent surprise to run across this album from my feed. Love the pacing and production. Really impressed. Has an epic, atmospheric black metal vibe that nails it for me.

Crushing blackened doom from this German band that counterbalances blinding fury with moments of surprising, melancholy melody. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 8, 2023
