The previous albums didn’t convince as effectively, but everything fits together here. It has barbaric but clear production. The drums sound like they belong in a reboot of Conan. True menace is felt from the vocals. Imprecation sounds like a band that will do you harm. Probably the most convincing orthodox death metal record since the 90s. Metallurgical Fire
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
