I cast off my chains, I break my binds The promise of paradise: in the end it's just a lie Salvation for all is freedom for none I change my path to follow the shining sun The gospel of God is food for the weak Preying on those not strong enough for truth Souls are saved while the lives are lost Conformation with existence as the cost I cast off my chains, I break my binds The promise of paradise: in the end it's just a lie Salvation for all is freedom for none I change my path to follow the shining sun Satan! Guide my path! Prophets of deceit I fed from your body I drained your blood I surrendered to your gospel I lost my way In your feeble fantasy The parasite consumed me Now I’ve been set free! Lucifer, your light shines through me Strengthening me and guiding me Down the path of truth Satan! With your light shining through me Let it strengthen and guide me Down my path to truth Now I tread towards supremacy
This album is just 100/100, like so many albums from mgla. How can a band hit the spot so many times? They are incredible. Thank you for accompanying me almost daily these days :) adrianradillo
A Pagan black metal masterpiece.
Folk and black metal elements fuse into one extremely catchy and awe inspiring album. This band does not disappoint from all the high praise sent it's way. Abyssius Murkraken
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
Late 90's BM worship, but it's also a lil more than that. This album takes the best elements from the scene it's inspired by and mostly avoids the worst of it; the song-writing is well-written, it's performed with passion and fun, and the production is raw but isn't lo-fi. (i.e. it doesn't obfuscate and/or suckass).
Tl;dr It's safe but high quality BM. Recommended. Rabbit
