Cold as ice
White as snow
Calm as night
Pale as death
Cold dead skin
Dry hollow eyes
Silent winter
Of lifes ending
Calm is the wind of salvation
Cold is the hand of liberation
The torture of life
Soon to be gone
Seasons wither away
Reign in darkness
Entering a new world
Of fathomless depths
Staring into the void
World of darkness
Painless
Thoughtless
Griefless
Lifeless
Cold dead skin
Dry hollow eyes
Silent winter
Of lifes ending

Melancholy march

Inferno of darkness
Turmoil and chaos
Shrouded mind
in thickening mist
A melancholy march
Lost in absolute darkness
Melancholy march
Onwards the road to north
Among mountainkings
A raven is seated
Waiting for my mortal soul
To enter the halls of eternity
Onwards the road north
Through thickening mist
To Hills of ancient funeral homes
Hills of home for kings of kings
Devoured by shadows
Inferno of darkness
Shrouded mind
in thickening mist

Bleak and desolate

The river is dry
The stream is gone
Wastelands of burnt soil
All is dead
What once was alive
What once was burning
Now its gone
Now its turned to ash
Sulphur kingdom
Bleak and desolate
Sulphur kingdom
Were we scatter with the wind
Engulfed in flames
Life is ending
Eyes are burning
Lunges filled with fire
Lost to emperors command
Immersed in darkness
Submit to the final solution
As it darkens before my eyes
Like clouds of death and despair
Falling into a timeless abyss
I desolve into fragments of burning flesh

Devourered by the flaming pits of hell
The Air is saturated with the stench of burning flesh
A vast crematory is what is left of the earth
Deep is the ash that cover the ground like winters snow
Greed has turned the world grey
Grey as the ash that of the world remain
A world swallowed by to the lords of hell
A world destined to end in decay
Drowned in hells fire
Wade through fields of burning men
Their sins be washed away by flames of death
The gates of hell stands welcoming
To suffer in torment through eternitys
Drowned in hells fire

Commander of hate - hate for all of mankind
Ruler of legions - legions of hell
Evoker of the beast - the beast risen from the abyss
Come fourth ravenous wolves - slayers of the living
Raining fire from heavens above
The earth devoured by the flames of hell
Commander of shadows - shadows from hell
Master of sin - with powers inherit from kings
Evoker of the beast - the beast risen from the sea
Come fourth ravenous wolves - slayers of the living
Raining fire from heavens above
The world devoured by the flames of hell

A new world
A world of death and agony
Answer to the lord
The lord of ultimate supremacy
Eternal winter
Frozen world of nothingness
No place for the living
Plains of desolation
A new world
A world of death and agony
Mass destruction
annihilation of the living
A frozen tundra
Widespread across the earth
No place for the living
Plains of desolation
The great holocaust
Cleansing of the earth
Twisted and forlorn
Evil spread through the soul
The soul of the damned
The children of the damned
Lost of all hope
Lost of all future
A world cleansed in fire
A world scorched in flames
Answer to the lord
The lord of death and pain
A soul depraved of all hope
A soul of darkness and evil
Answer to the lord
The lord of cold black death

A spell was cast at birth
A spell of pain and despair
To live a life in shadows
Condemnd to fear and misery
A spell was cast at birth
A life in pain and despair
Walking the path of shadows
Condemned to live in misery
Sail the seas of death
The ship is ready waiting on the shore
Sail towards the setting sun
The ship is here to release us from the spell
Sail the seas of death
The ship is ready waiting on the shore
Sail towards the setting sun
The ship is here to release us from the spell
A shadow of the past
The spell is now a shadow of the past
A shadow of the past
Life is now a shadow of the past

Guided by the moon and the stars
Mesmerized by the night and the death of the sun
Drawn towards open dark waters
To be alone under the nightsky
Beneath the glimmering surface
An abysmal darkness
Lurking evil calling me down
To die and find peace of mind
Sinking down in the bottomless waters
The guiding light of the moon fading as i descend
The stars in the sky has died
Only darkness remains
To be at one with the dark
To be at one with the sea
Hope to find the bottom before the end
To see what creature lives there
What type of monster that called
To find a cure for the insanity
Funeral sorrow
Funeral joy
Epitaph of rippling waters
And now its so dark
Feelings gone
Insanity lost
Life ending

Ancient powers released
Unhallowed blasphemies
Risen from the deep
Awake after aeons in slumber
Evil spirits of a another time
Returning to times before man
They call upon you
They call upon you
To rise
Enter a world of another time
A sunken kingdom deep in their mind
Beneath the vast oceans, beneath reality
The great unknown, deepest of fears
They have been in my mind since forever
I have been in their mind and seen all the horror
Rise of the great holocaust
The earth cleansed in flames
Dreaming no more
The time has come
To rise from the tomb of monstrous stone
The day of the great holocaust
The world perish in flames
He call upon you
He call upon you
To die
To be immortal
Dead but dreaming
Control the minds of the living
Eternally waiting
Dead but dreaming
Eater of sanity and order
Waiting for liberation and restoration

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!!

I'd say Havukruunu is the rightful holder of the Crown and the mantle of Quorthon. Epic choirs, vikingesque themes and tales from the other times, of the Finnish paganism back in the days before our ancestors were brought to the cross and forced to kneel while feeling the bloody sword of saviour on their throats made to kiss the hand of murderers who burnt thousands, tore down our holy places and took our holy days. Eyes teary I listen to these songs, never forgiving the crimes of the cross!

Killer, knotty blackened prog from Norway, full of ferocity and complexity, with blistering guitar leads aplenty.
