A heavy but very melodic song in a medium tempo. The message is quite hidden in this one. The lyrics are about breaking the walls of the inner prison. Throwing away the fear and things that are holding us back. Starting to live the way we want without any compromises.
lyrics
Apocalyptic vision
Annihilating suffer
Collapsing world of terror
Abominable slaughter
Becoming dark (Intoxication)
Incoming night (Soul devastation)
Destroying life (Extermination)
Absorbing light (Elimination)
Constant pain is tearing hart
A wish to sleep forever
Lasting fear deceiving mind
A wish to flee forever
Rise above deception
Destroy the walls and get away from hell
Make the new perception
See far beyond the borders of your shell
Becoming one with blizzard
Taking control of fire
Creating new dimension
A world of my desire
A resurrection (Through destruction)
Incinerate (The soul again)
Enter the void (To find salvation)
Falling apart (To rise again)
Constant pain is tearing hart
A wish to sleep forever
Lasting fear deceiving mind
A wish to flee forever
Rise above deception
Destroy the walls and get away from hell
Make the new perception
See far beyond the borders of your shell
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
