Siellä lepäilee hän öinen velhotar.
Sieltä hän löytää rauhan sijan.
Siellä tyyneyden saa öinen syöjätär
ja löytää hengen lepopaikan.
Avaa silmäni,
jotta näkisin kaiken selvemmin.
Avaa mieleni,
jotta kokisin kaiken kirkkaammin.
Annan sieluni,
polttaaksesi sen tulessasi,
Annan itseni,
sinulle yön loiste, omaksesi.
Sinusta huokuu uusi elämä, maallisen kuoren repeämä.
Ainiaan sinun käsiisi antaudun, sisimpääsi laskeudun.
Kannan merkkejä, suloisia hetkejä, sinulle viestinviejä.
Haarautuu mieli kuin käärmeen kieli, rakkauden riemumieli.
Siellä lepäilee hän öinen velhotar.
Sieltä hän löytää rauhan sijan.
Siellä tyyneyden saa öinen syöjätär
ja löytää hengen lepopaikan.
Avaa silmäni,
jotta näkisin kaiken selvemmin.
Avaa mieleni,
jotta kokisin kaiken kirkkaammin.
Annan sieluni,
polttaaksesi sen tulessasi,
Annan itseni,
sinulle yön loiste, omaksesi.

Another Teutonic gem I just discovered, "Totenwache" (is it a dead guard?) as I would translate it from German "Totenwache", is a black metal outfit hailing from Hamburg. This album is a fine and well-crafted mix of the right amount of melodies and roughness, distilled to perfection. At first they may sound almost generic, but after a few listens all the technical prowess and multi-layered complexity surfaces to delight us. Highly recommended! sachavonkarl74

Late 90's BM worship, but it's also a lil more than that. This album takes the best elements from the scene it's inspired by and mostly avoids the worst of it; the song-writing is well-written, it's performed with passion and fun, and the production is raw but isn't lo-fi. (i.e. it doesn't obfuscate and/or suckass).
Tl;dr It's safe but high quality BM. Recommended. Rabbit

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
