White demons attack wearing burial shrouds
Immortals warring under storm clouds
March along the great Gorgan Wall
Guard the heart of Persia from the funeral pall
Cobras in the ancient dust.
Discarded warriors.
Night falls and a sacrificed spirit calls
Lighting the fires to save the wall
Upon Aryan soil noble people must toil
Alabaster barbarians fight and foil
Lightning arches over stones in shocks
While fresh blood flows collecting in rocks
Damned die in desolation
For the eternal nation
Haunted by perils of the past
Men must perish for Šâhanšâh to last
Night falls and a sacrificed spirit calls
Lighting the fires to save the wall
Upon Aryan soil noble people must toil
Alabaster barbarians fight and foil
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
