A massive glacial wall
Cemented by the ageless fear
Reaching high in an empty sky
Shadowing and stifling the earth
Arrogant pile of certainty
Defying the countless efforts
Made to touch new ideas
Experimenting and wondering
Cold black stone, white marble, golden metal
Molten in the crucible of hate
Each letter, every page, every word
Divine brick to rise higher and higher
Nourished with the stormy red tides of blood
Strengthened by the beam of bones
Curse the world as mankind is doomed
Spitting at the face of a rotten man
Bring down the wall!
Tear up their clothes!
Bring down the wall!
Dispel the shadows!
It has been here since the birth of men
We brought it through dust of centuries
Shaking their heads, touching the wall
As if dead stones could feel their tears
Whispering words, confessions of sins
Secrets revealed but truth ignored
Hear us! Hears us! Hide us!
From the unbearable rays of the sun
Fear us! Fear us! Leave us!
We are already higher than the clouds
Bring down the wall!
Tear up their clothes!
Bring down the wall!
Dispel the shadows!
It has been here since the birth of men
We brought it through dust of centuries
Hiding the sun
A scar never closed
Dividing their mind
Blinding our eyes
Stone after stone
Erecting the idol
Shameful hearts
A wall of certainty
Bring us an army
Of faithful sceptics
Give them the will
To enter the darkness
Bring us an army
Of fearless brothers
Give them the force
To defy the dogmas
Let us be the rock on which you'll feast
Let us be the foundations of our glory
Ask! We'll explain - Doubt! We will slain
A crack on the wall is the doom of us all
Better burn them all, slay them all
Better feed the burning flame
With the bloody guts of innocent childrens
A crack on the wall is the end of us all
It has been here since the birth of men
We brought it through dust of centuries

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

The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel. Metallurgical Fire

The songs are masterfully composed and flow together beautifully, and the orchestration is exactly how I want metal orchestration to sound: full, playable by a real orchestra, and just as important to the music as the vocals, drums, guitar, and bass are. tonycordeshimself
