lyrics

Ymir
The birth of the earth and the sky
Bleeds the flood
That drowns the ancient giants alive

Rebirth
Of the frost giants race
Rulers of heaven and earth
Killed the first
And from him carved the sky, the moon, the stars, the trees, the sea and the lakes

His blood
Birthed the sea
and soon the earth would come to be
Creation of all humanity

His death
Birthed the storms
and the sun that keeps us warm
the winters and the wind-whipped rain

Broken bones from the giant of ice
Carved into stone and mountains high
Once the beast had died
Took his skull and fashioned the sky
In which Odin and Sleipnir rides

Birth of the mountains
Birth of the raging seas
The raging winters ice and snow
Beckons for eternity

...and the fires blazed in the night

Midgard was formed
From bones and blood
The burning elements
of the sky

To create heaven
and earth

And as the blood gushed freely from the wounds
They made the seas, the lakes and the rains

And as the ancient one lay down to die
He gave birth to the earth and the sky

Unique approach to folk metal from the US. One of the standout releases for me. Jarlshof

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

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
