There are many great extreme metal bands in Sweden, but only one from Kalix. This remote beauty spot near the Finnish border, on the northernmost shores of the Baltic, is home to Jacob Björnfot, creative mastermind behind melodic black/death metal project, KVAEN.
A sumptuous but bitingly intense exploration of beauty and violence, KVAEN’s "The Formless Fires" is a melodic black metal masterwork radiating an inspirational sense of place. Even more than 2020’s folky, speed metal-infused debut "The Funeral Pyre" or 2022’s compelling, expansive follow-up, "The Great Below", the vast pine woods and icy lakes are powerfully evoked in the elemental gloom riffs, chilly melodies, and windswept solos running through these eight mighty songs.
Assisting in this record’s immersive sweep are Björnfot’s fascinating lyrics. Like many Swedish songwriters, his use of English reveals a love and care for the language that few native speakers even bother to rival. If this album seems less intimate and more universal than the raw candor of its predecessor, it’s only because Björnfot’s knack for allegory has improved. Illuminating some of the lyrical themes, Björnfot asserts “I love mythology. ‘Basilisk’ is, for example, the king of serpents but is rarely mentioned by the mainstream. ‘The Perpetual Darkness’ is about being born different from those who are ‘normal.’ It is also about being a lone wolf and banished from society. That song has become a personal favorite of mine.” Additionally, ‘De Dödas Sång (Song Of The Dead)’ tackles the disturbing theme of Ättestupa, the ancient Norse suicide ritual whereby elderly villagers jump to their deaths from sheer precipices.

I'm buying this right now 😤💥💥
Well this is remarkable. As much as I'm not a fan of a sound so polished, the effort that this man has put deserves our attention. The musicianship, the compositions, the execution of the whole thing and finally the recording. Some people just have the spark inside and the true talent. Well done.
Wtf this is the work of just one guy? Impressive!!! Sounds awesome
Really good! 🤘 Regards from Portugal.

Wait what ? The former and Best Marduk Drummer in this band ? 😮😮😮
No, this one Fredrik is the former Amon Amarth drummer
@@enriquecarmona6097 yeah I looked it up shortly after my comment, that was disappointing
Haha, I remember being dissapointed to find out that the Amon Amarth Fredrik wasn´t the one from Marduk :D. Best Marduk era for sure. I wonder what those people are doing now. ..
Love this comm section xD
@@borna1231 for reals ! crazy that Marduk Fredrik seemingly retired from drums altogether after he left/was let go of Marduk

Boring album… some great stuff like vickas bur the fucking guitars is anoying and feel to ”nice”. Go back to somberlain or like eucharist and get the feel for something much more intelligent.. but great work in a since in these days 😊
Take in consideration that this one man band.... so one person composing everything, which is totally astonishing.
