The first song from „Descent Into Chaos” EP. A very melodic but still aggressive track with atmospheric elements. It says about going to the dark side in life. The more you soak into evil and negativity the harder is to get out. Beware not to end in the self-made hell. Turn around when there’s still time.
lyrics
Living into the night
Soul's destructive disease
Breathing air of the dead
Falling into abyss
Integrate with the dark
Getting tied by the chains
Growing darkness in mind
Liquid fire flows in veins
For eternal time
Burn in fields of fire
Places of no light
Unfulfilled desire
Torn apart in world of dying lights
The distant suns
Vast desolation
From broken earth throughout the empty skies
The hole inside
Disintegration
Fly! Through the darkness of night
Cry! Vast abysses inside
Way of mass destruction
Chosen by the will
Mindless devastation
Going back no longer real
Hypnotized by the night
Can't escape from the cage
Nothing seems real outside
Captured by fear and rage
Twisting mind from within
Darkening light of the day
Something's showing the path
Road that leads straight to hell
For eternal time
Suffocate in silence
Breaking from inside
Scorched by hate and violence
Torn apart in world of dying lights
The distant suns
Vast desolation
From broken earth throughout the empty skies
The hole inside
Disintegration
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
Si "enfant" vient du latin "infans" ou "[celui] qui ne parle pas", alors The Grand Contraction, deuxième opus de The Foetal Mind, est un vrai retour en enfance : mis à part "Big Crunch", toutes les pistes sont instrumentales. Par ailleurs, le quartette français joue tout avec ce qui lui passe sous la main, il prend des risques en oubliant la peur de trébucher : en plus du doom metal, il combine metal classique avec black metal atmosphérique et blackgaze avec un talent assez unique. Audacieux ! Jordan Vauvert
