lyrics

Onward I went in water
Birth of Venus, with a blank face
And a bland taste lingering on the tip of my tongue
Bite the apple and follow the morning star

When worlds fall and shadows grow
What is life if not freedom to live
I sensed the power of storms in the air
And I moved along with the wind in my back

Onward I went through fire
The heat, flames intoxicating, red and blue
Defiantly dancing, chaotic steps
The serpent’s daughter as one with the witch

But the song of a sword’s clinging metal
My wisdom stolen by works of gray
Deceived by the madmen
And my body was engulfed in the pyre

Marks burned in the soil
Narrating shackled lives, slit throats
Trembling limbs in liberating creation
Do my hands have value now?

Onward I went, through the bowels of the earth
Cold, faceless, mud covered creature
Brutal and beautifully unkempt
The smell of cloth, the sweat and the dirt

With grace I clean up the sickening stench
With light heart I breath the dampened air
(And I stomped the devil’s torso into the ground)

The Funeral Pyre
by KVAEN

supported by 25 fans who also own “The Female of the Species”

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

Damp Chill of Life
by NONE

supported by 25 fans who also own “The Female of the Species”

NONE a opéré un virage dans Where Life Should Be et ça se confirme davantage dans Damp Chill of Life. Le temps des métaphores est révolu : l'humidité froide, c'est celle des larmes qui coulent sur le visage à cause de la dépression. Tout pleure dans cet album : les guitares typées DSBM grésillent, les solos ("The Damp Chill of Life", "It's Painless To Let Go") sont liquides et coulent, les voix prennent à la gorge ; même le piano, étranglé par les sanglots ("Cease"), est aphone. Insoutenable... Jordan Vauvert

Söngvar elds og óreiðu
by Misþyrming

supported by 23 fans who also own “The Female of the Species”

Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long! Lukas Kaufmann
