lyrics
We Are Already Dead
Ashen clouds slowly sail on the frowning sky,
Baleful Moon shines gently from behind,
Thousands of poignant tears are shed down below,
Filthy dry odor succumbed to petrichor.
An Ominous passage led to the sullen night paysage
Which seemed hitherto an illusive far mirage.
In tender, soft embrace of wretched enchantress
Even timeless darkness will lose to her in chess.
With heavy steps, but tranquil breath he treads to a broad ledge,
Twisted shapes of gray landscape are seen from the house edge,
Weary life and soul's strife, melancholia,
Sudden fall of lie bestowed grim euphoria.
Seducing gaze from nonentity.
He looked loftily and brusquely at the gaunt face
As if oblivious about her mournful grace,
Her grave malady and naive vanity
This insomnious autumnal night.
This insomnious autumnal night
In murky, burial shroud death cries.
She bewails about this agonized blink
After his scornful sight.
On drear eyes of emerald color
For the last time he saw a bitter, mute sorrow.
Haggard, frail body rests on the moist, cold ground
Among sere asphodels, among vermilion gouts.
She is compelled to play in a basilisk chess
Thus guarding a painful suspense.
On a pallid, glum mien of the Woeful Queen
Appeared a genuine sadness.
He deluded her vilely, broke her shy heart,
Trampled it arrogantly, tore it apart.
By invisible waves of vespertine air
She was thrown in an abyss of eternal despair.
On drear eyes of emerald color
For the last time he saw a bitter, mute sorrow.
Haggard, frail body rests on the moist cold ground
Among sere asphodels, among vermilion gouts.
Golden foliage billows by the chill, October wind
Beneath argent, dim moonbeams.
And the last words he said before the tragical end:
"We are... We are... We are already dead..."

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
Joseph Hawker subverts the musical and sociopolitical status quo with a black metal triptych that's as incendiary as it is impressionistic. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 5, 2022
Another scorcher from the phenomenal one-man black metal outfit STARER, with mind-flaying riffs and eerie tremolo-picked melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 31, 2023

Soyez prudent lorsque vous marchez sur ce lac gelé qu'est No stars, only full dark. Le black metal atmosphérique y est si beau que vous aurez l'impression de léviter au-dessus de l'eau, seul, tranquille. Mais il est fragile, il craquelle et peut se fissurer à tout instant. Ce deuxième opus de Windbruch est magnifique. Nocturnal Egg (Jordan)
