The will to fight faded away
My whole being turned into grey
The inner battles were all in vain
Just useless efforts to break from the chains
I have tried to get free, find another way
Still every tomorrow repeats yesterday
I have tried to run. I have tried to hide
Now i finally surrender the war with my mind.
Now my heart is blackened,
filled with agony
Product of society
What you have forced me to be
But the face in the mirror
forever i will despise
Picture of all things i hate,
reflection of mankind
Time has come to kneel and accept defeat
twenty years in vain i´ve searched for a higher reason to live
No matter how hard you scream everything remains the same
You´ve drained all of me. There´s nothing more to give
The hive is calling for us to come
A spreading disease takes us one by one
The curse within us cannot be denied
So take me with you to the darker side
All this time i´ve wasted in pointless dreaming
In a search for a reason, in a search for a meaning
All this time i´ve tried to fight the world
Now i know that rebellion only made me hurt
Cut off my ideals
Erase my pride
Let me join the fallen
On the darker side
All this time i´ve wasted in pointless dreaming
In a search for a reason, in a search for a meaning
All this time i´ve tried to resist control
Now i know that to live i must sell my soul
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
These California up-and-comers don't merely pay tribute to ’90s death metal; they make it their own by taking charge and letting it rip. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 21, 2024
Culinary-themed melodic death metal outfit cook up a smorgasbord of fierce solos, tight percussion, and cheeky, foodie-approved screeds. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 11, 2024
Swiss Melodic Black / Death Metal. I never wrote anything about this & given that I listen to it time & again, I really should! This is incredibly technical & amazingy good! I am having multiple eargasms & goosebumps for the entire duration of the album! Plus they have a new album coming out in a couple of months that I cannot wait for! A criminally underrated band... Stortregn rule! Highly recommended!!! bmurator
