Nuno Lourenço
It's only one song, I get it, but in its 10 minutes the diversity, tightness and the created atmospheres feel just right. That piano followed by the guitar progression and then the blossoming of the track is simply overwhelming.
Am absolutely hooked on this track and yearning for more
Reflections of the past
Bring new life to old wounds
Lacerations to psyche
Infected with resentment, and then hollowed out
Forced to suffer alone
Cries for help minimized by those I loved the most
Not worthy of the air I breathe
Or this broken flesh, condemned to a life of grief
(Solo: Walburn)
In this cursed existence
Not one solace or one drug to ease the pain
Longing to fade away
To be forgotten as I rot in a six foot hole
To be embraced by the warmth of black
Numbness, penetrate, and rest this weary mind
Not worthy of the air I breathe
Or this broken flesh, condemned to a life of grief
(Solo: Walburn)
Spiraling downward into naught
As all hope begins to die
Inching ever deeper
Towards absolute ruin
Deeper…
Deeper…
Deeper…
Deeper…
Down…
(Solo: Iacovella)
Encased in vitriolic torment
Catatonic and fixed in eternal sullen gaze
Wrapped in its caustic embrace
Through which my body withers…

Heaviest thing I’ve heard all year along with Altarage. Okay I’ve been listening to this record for the past two weeks and it just gets better and better. Dissonant grooves galore Jacob Ballance
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
36 choice cuts - one from each 2015 LP, plus music from new signings on the mighty and 25-years-strong Relapse label. Bandcamp New & Notable Nov 4, 2015
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
