In the cold morning of the north,
When the forest still sleeps
The damp breeze bites the bones
The fog all around between the trees
The men sleep a light sleep,
For in the morning death will awaits
Desire of glory in their dreams
And the blood shall burn in their veins
It’s a day of glory and blood
For their own land they shall fight
And break upon them like waves against the boat
Every man who stands out there is quite prepared to die
Deep! Through the icy morning mist
Hundreds of brave men
Wielding mighty swords and shields
With proud and bravery they will stand
Singing hymns of war
And drums sound like thunders
The brave men who came from the shore
They will fight, as they’re all blood brothers
A day of war
A day of war
It’s a day of glory and blood
For their own land they shall fight
And break upon them like waves against the boat
Every man who stands out there is quite prepared to die
In the cold morning of the north
The sun shines high in the sky
All those who died have shown their worth
And all those who live shall never die
To the roots of the hills
Hundreds of corpses lay on the field
Now with no sword nor shield
The men shall return through the trees
A day of war
A day of war
It’s been a day of glory and blood
For their own land they’ll always fight
And break upon them like waves against the boat
Every man who stood out there was quite prepared to die

Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10 RJ

Exquisite harmonies resonate profoundly! Such a resounding melody, finely woven. The shadows intricately entwine with the mellifluous riffs, crafting a sublime symphony of darkness and bliss. jayakody

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

What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music. Sælzer Bub
