Geysers spew forth
Breaking through an eroded world
Demolishing existence
And flooding the world in darkness
Engulfed in the tides of damnation
I writhe towards the surface, to the light
The mounting pressure plunges downwards
Underneath the horizon line
Escape is futile
But why is this
Thrashing underwater
As the world collapses in
Ripped apart by raging torrents
I plead for ascension
Breath of life waning in this vortex
Washed away, set adrift in the tides of time
The anguished tension of painful swelling
Towards the light as the currents rise
A promise kept
A duty fulfilled
Bubbling, pressure mounting
Nitrogen within my skin
Rapidly decompressing
I float up towards the surface
As above, so below
A reflection of mortal dissidence
Izanami, on her throne
Comes into view in the distance
Silently, she grants remittance
To take the form of flesh and bone
I break the surface, thus reborn
I awaken to return home

La traversée du désert n'aura pas duré quarante jours mais quatre longues années...
Avec Панихида, Батюшка renaît enfin de ses cendres et, bien que désormais seul (ou plus exactement entouré de deux chanteurs), Христофор accomplit un miracle. Il s'inscrit dans la continuité de Литоургиiа avec un black metal orthodoxe qui nous convie ici à une cérémonie dédiée aux morts. Sa vision est englobante : les mélodies, la gravité et le silence font toucher le paradis ; l'agressivité est luciférienne. Jordan Vauvert

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
