lyrics

Whispers from branch to trunk
Stirring the passions of all
Word of imbalance, a third half emerged
An actor overseeing the fall

Splitting the slain away from Asgard
Warriors robbed of reward
Now comes the time to reclaim the lost
For this, the rumors did serve

The norns have spoken, word has come down
The time to act approaches us now
Trouble has risen for warriors true
Allfather guide them to battles new

Valhalla or Fólkvangr, Odin or Freyja
Meddling has cut off the way
Journey again to make this right
Opponents will know fear this day

Knowledge is gained, spear is in hand
The strands of fate have been spun
With thought and memory providing insight
Until the day is won

Seeking the truth, guiding the fallen
The task of Ymir's slayer
To find valkyries' targets and halt perpetration
Freeing the strong einherjar

The Funeral Pyre

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

I think so Heathen Deity is made for play live, the band rules and this is a sound faithful to a live's sound. Great english Black Metal. darkenedspirit (Midgard_OBM)
