lyrics

Dressed in a dark robe, a tall man with obsidian skin.
His eyes the colour of flame, a wanderer with a legendary name.
A town was under siege, beset by terrible creatures of fire,
they begged for the mancer's aid, offering a king's ransom reward.
With a nod the great man strode to the demons fell abode,
stood at the portal, held wide his hands.
He gave a wordless scream calling the beasts to battle.

He cried:
Try me I'll never burn, you'll try but I'll never burn.
You may try, immune I'll never burn you'll try but I'll never burn!

The demons laughed at his claims, engulfed him in flame.
But fire could not touch this man.
Binding chains cast from his robes,
the demons were all enslaved.

At his return to the town he had saved from this plague,
he received a stab in the back and died with a look of rage.
But as he hit the ground, he uttered a summoning sound,
calling forth a great creature of flame.
The demon screamed revenge, on this traitorous town of men.

The Demon cried:
My master will never burn, you'll try but he'll never burn.
You may try, immune he'll never burn, you'll try but he'll never burn!

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
