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
After hearing "La Morsure du Christ" for the first time I had to go back to find out where the routs of this masterpiece were. How I was able to miss them then is beyond me but I sure am happy to have found them now. Grand scale symphonic/melodic black metal that still manages to show a lot of power and even a little bit of rawness here and there. mourner
Scorching black metal from Houston, featuring members of Night Cobra, Oceans of Slumber, Venomous Maximus, and more. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 7, 2023
Another band from Sweden that adheres to the Swedish school of melodic black metal ? ok. Similar to Dissection and Naglfar but offering somewhat more technical and sophisticated melodies? ok. Very good reviews from other (trusted) BC users? check. Nice cover artwork and irresistible purchase price? I'm in!! sachavonkarl74
