Lost in an orbital trance
Enslaved by ethereal ruminations
We are the constellation conduit
Our doctrine carved in stone
Behold, our revelation statement
Bow down, before a dying sun
Yielding, to midnight manifesto
We’ve only just begun
Violent winds encircling above me
The howling, a call to arms
The ritual upon the bluff
Cult figures gather as one
Awaken, hear the drumming of the skies
Feel the power immortal, from halls up high
Harken, place yourself in its path
Taste nocturnal air
Lightning aftermath
Embrace life’s true meaning
Remember why you were born

Lupercalia

|
The moon collides with crimson skies
Symposium of mysteries
Revels before the seven hills
Rise now starlight
Rise now cult adherents
Hand-wrought carving of stone
Depicts the orphans surrounded by wolves
Before they fought for the throne
Ruling over Campus Martius
Ghost eye upon the field of Mars
Reflection off the Tiber
Dies Februatus
Humid in the forum
Dancing with the nymphs and Catullus
Eye of lustre, grey diamond fire
Hail to the thief of hearts
Eternal city, timeless transformation
Forever the Caput Mundi
Gushing rivers of blood
Flowing freely from sacrifice
Holy priests of Rumina
Adorned in their skin
Cosmic completion
In tune with the seasons
Denouncing all reason
Hail wolf and beacon
Free the wolf inside

Western Embers
05:04
|

|
Waves of golden light erupt in the west
Sky-bound flame in streaks of amber
Crimson scars as Helios dies
His blood in reddened strokes that bring the night
Voices of the past are now but echoes
In this funeral for dreams long lost in the past
The fires that once burned bright
Have fallen into glowing ash
Feel the stir within the soul at nightfall
As the molten sky becomes a burning pall
The memory of mirth within the hall
Companion before the fall
Open the gates to the past
Channel the power of the stars

Arise red king and take your crown
Dominus god eternal
Master of skies, the burning one
In equinoxes vernal
Arise red king, assume your throne
Thou lord of war and sowing
Many the men destroyed by you
And many are the corpses growing
Son of Jupiter, child of Juno
You grew with the children of earth
Father to Rome’s founders
Your weapons evolved from your birth
Red planet, burning ruby in the sky
Your eye cast upon us, your cultists
Martian men on terra firma
Arise red king, all kneel to thee
We submit to you and your power

Ascendancy beckons
As shards of silver haunt the horizon
The enemy sun makes its exit
Arise, silver leviathan
The timeless ethic
We praise and chant through the years
Oh great silver eye
Through winter clouds it appears
Black is the sea
A new beginning
An ancient line
Unbroken tradition
In moonlit confessions
The cult assembles along the coast
The starlight ablaze
Across oceans of darkness far above
The principal motive
The secret arts of nocturnal service
Salt in the air
Cold is the air
Gathered together
Sky-ghost rises
Cult-voices soaring

Celestial Fury
05:21
|

|
Warrior constellations, power from above
Open your arms to the vacuum
Cowed by celestial fury
Ravaged by entropy
No judge, no jury
Astral executioner
Intergalactic holocaust
Ineffable destruction
Give in to endless darkness
All light extinguished
Irrelevant solar driftwood
Engulfed in gravity’s hold
Meagre spinning fragments
Not knowing their role
Inescapable black hole
Beasts of open space
Light can’t escape the grasp
Of this nightmare in the sky
Centuries of cosmic storms
Wormhole pathways
Nebula reaches out
Andromeda collision pending
Giants clash in the cosmos
The utter end of us all
Swallowed by the darkened depths of space

Lunar Geography
04:49

|
Birthed of the union, Terrene and Theia
Eonian juggernaut, as our protector
Sea of tranquility for us to consume
Magma body cools; the birth of the moon
Ageless vessel gliding, wingless
Circumnavigating, once more
Twisting in starless epiphany, endless
Lava tubes and dome projections
Iron, magnesium, silica and lime
Werewolf elements we need
Supreme coldness reigns at night
Laser altimetry, lunar maria beauty
On cold nights on Earth
You can sometimes hear Selene
Speaking in her silvery tongues
Sacred words whispered across the ether
There’s no remedy for lunacy

Fires in the Gloom
08:37
|

|
On the final day when the light burns its last
And the sacred spark seems to falter
They will be there still
Out through the night-haze
In the glimmerings at nightfall’s altar
Hail the post-life starlight
Glory imperium
Embrace the theology of dusk
Eternal nightfall aeon
On the final night when Terminus calls
His presence in golden halls
They will be there still
On through the star-mist
Wherever the moonshine falls
Hear them calling, voice from starlight
Realm of moonlight, speaking ghosts in the sky
Hear them praying, realm of moonlight
Voice from starlight, speaking ghosts in the sky
Hear them speaking, voice from starlight
Realm of moonlight, speaking ghosts in the sky
On the final eve in dampened soil
When laid to rest at the doom
They will be there still
Under cloudless skies
The fires in the gloom

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!!
