lyrics
inevitable death will come for me
as I linger in the womb of this life
above the surface like a shade
he awaits my steady rise
the end comes quick
a sudden stop forevermore
I will cease to exist
I will not grasp for eternity
I will rest my eyes
as I return to the depths
my life will peel away as bark to a flame
and my ash will sustain the earth
inevitable
relentless death will come for me
pale hand outstretched
I cannot see
beyond the veil
he's ticking off the days
and from his shadowed post I turn away
to view the earth through ashes gray
he awaits my steady rise
to the grave
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
Abigail Williams has had a weird career with hiatuses and lineup changes, but they have finally perfected their sound on Walk Beyond the Dark. This album has such a refreshing and natural feeling that makes it one of the top atmospheric black metal albums of recent years. Ryan
