lyrics
Dark
you call the future
But it is day
shining like suns
Far
into the distance
reaches the past
of yesterday's glow
Whoever dives into its night
Will be blind like the mole
drawing its lightless corridors through forlorn empires
under the apple tree into the bowel of wrath
Forsaken is god and the well of life’s water
We dug our own cisterns, broken and leaking
Souls crawling through tombs –
not of their own experience
building a vault
for the monstrous coffin of hope.
Knocking desperately at the gates
In the delusion to become
what others have been
Doubter
Look at poor Abschalom
Proud like the morning star
He hangs on his hair
Heavy as a millstone hangs tight around the neck
all his burdens
shall rest upon all of his heirs
O hope – show me faith
O self – build her a marble shrine
to entomb her remains
And esperance
whips her wild team across the marshlands of history
Through the feces and the carrion
Grinding the hopeless
towards the abyss of desperation
Hooves trample the guilt
under wheels …

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

Gaerea's first release of "Unsettling Whispers" was in 2018, and since, they dared define a "black metal" niche of their own, they dared to walk a new path and stir shit up a bit in the realm of BM, this album is a masterpiece and a milestone proving that it can be done, provided the band can pull it off, and they did, oh they did! Gloomy, dark, post-BM sludgy whatever, it's Gaerea, and this one belongs in my BC collection, the end. sachavonkarl74

Mizmor is one of my favorite bands. So versatile and dynamic and best artist to create vast variety of tangible atmospheres. Yodh is a bountiful album that sails the ocean of sore emotions arousing psyche's hidden parts. Perfect unholy marriage of mystic, brittle acoustics and limbo-quaking heaviness. 𝙅𝙤𝙚 𝙎𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙡𝙡
