He’s Romanian!
A wizard with knives
From the darkest depths of this world
Cross his path and you’ll be one more
On his growing list of victims
Forgotten!
Mother and father, A child of a broken home
Raised by wolves as one of their own
To an oath he is sworn
My life is war
I was born for
My life is war
For the battle I was born
This is my life’s beck and call
Call me the Romanian
Die by the sacred blade
To an oath I’m sworn till my final breath
He’ll assassinate!
Anyone you say just as long as you meet his hourly rate
A trained murderer who loves to feast on blood
Since he was impaled by that cross
Five today or perhaps rather six
I’m not a man for petty little tricks
If the price is right then graves are filled
Too many to count, all the men I’ve killed
My life is war
My life
Die by the sacred blade

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

Amazing atmospheric progressive black metal with some doom vibes.
Illusions In The Wake is emotional with some haunting melodies.
An outstanding debut album!
Highly recommended! Sælzer Bub

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
Blackened death metal riffs and Lovecraftian horror go hand-in-hand on the Seattle brutalists' ferocious eight-track epic. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 6, 2023

They are so heavy and crushing. Excellent production highlights these Brutal Tech Death jams.
This treat of a debut EP proves they are not messing around. Has one of the coolest album covers in Metal history. Salami Dick Death
