Aspirations fail from the wear of planetary cycles.
Realising dreams, unreachable as the moon from man.
Even leaving a scratch, a pitiful stain in a memory,
is better than creative indolence.
Creation is a mark, an emblem, for the individual.
Separates the brave from the drones, the drones of society.
Life stops on, least resistance ride.
Without creation; death inside.
The struggle for wealth can be a means to an end.
Or get lost inside, never clawing a mark.
Create!
Life stops on, least resistance ride.
Without creation; death inside.
You're lost, lost to history.
You're lost.
Drowning in the sea because it's easier than to swim to shore,
and be remembered.
I dub this folly, pray create, and not just mouths to feed,
your time they'll bleed.
Life stops on, least resistance ride.
Without creation; death inside.

I dig this album so much, definitely a keeper. Subtly and masterfully mixing death metal subgenres, backed with an over the top production. They're true professionals. Can't wait for their next release! doive

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
