Matriarch

Deep in a spiral of stars
far beyond all conquered spheres
A glow cuts through the dark
the source that brought a vital spark
In gracious ways she flies
alluring the children of the void
Since eons they orbit her Hub
Forever to serve their mother-grub
Spellbound by her force
Devoted to their rapture source
She ignited the spark
Matriarch of the dark
There is a desire since we first caught your eye
Sweet matriarch
Give is the reason why
Show us how to die
Born to protect her beauty
but still they do not know
She never lived and never will
they're obsessed with a dream that won't fulfill

Lion's Gate

As soon as you step, through this door it’s too late
With open arms you’re welcomed as bait
Your previous life ain’t worth a dime
The lions are marking the end of the line
Teeth sharp as razors are ripping your flesh
Crushed by brutish terror, you're wishing for death
Ten thousands are cheering, the soil lies in blood
Your scattered bones stomped into the mud
Lion's Gate
There is no escape
Time to meet your fate
Lion's Gate

Clutch of the Sea

A last breath of air
I surrender to the seas mighty grasp
My time has come
Brine is burning down my throat
Water fills my lungs
The coldness stabs behind my eyes
Seconds turn to years
As I drown into Neptunes realm…eternal realm
I cease to be
There is no more me
I’m Just another…victim of the sea
Captured by…
The clutch of the sea
Shapes in the Dark
Phantoms of a panic stricken mind
Fluid images unfold
Scenes from a Life that is no more
In wonder I touch her face
Finally I Can Join Her Liquid Grave
As the Pressure of the Deep
Floods away my last spark of life…wasted life
I have chosen a young man’s death
All along this world pulled me to its depths

Hologram

You found your life in ruins
and the darkness you feared opened its gates
Shadows of a future past
are altering the flux of your myriad fates
Hologram
Here but gone
Hologram
Wrecked and torn
Bitter Cries
Tombstone Eyes
No way to stop your ultimate demise
Lost your track
High on smack
The darkness within lurked dormant upon your soul
Too late to change your ways
earsplitting loud you can hear the needle scream
You kept on running like hell
following the river of death downstream

Golgotha

As a young man aged seventeen,
I took up the reins of fate and set forth on sacred land
Though we were many, I still was on my very own
on a pilgrimage of mind and sword
My Faith should not fail
strenghtend by visions of the hidden grail
and the holy tomb
of Golgotha
Like many a knight before, I sought blessed fame,
a venturous story that is fit for song and tale
And as I rode on the wet blood-soaked ground
I knew my mortal time had come to pass
My spirit's bound to roam
Forever to guard God's earthly throne
of Golgotha

Heir to the Ruby Throne

In a cruel empire in demise
A child unique and strange was born,
oddly frail and skull-white skin
Kept alive with the help of herbs and spells
Doom to his kind, the legend tells
Dragon isle born
Ruler of Melnibone
Final heir to the Ruby Throne
His life took its ultimate course
when he claimed the blade of doom
and the destiny of both intertwined
The sword wailed in its urge to harvest souls
Its master addicted to the power it holds
Inescapably alone
Going the path unknown
Final heir to the Ruby Throne
Harbinger of earth's demise
Madness in his crimson eyes
A tragic fate that was not sealed by its own accord
Eternal warrior, cursed to bear the black sword
On his quest to cruel and foreign lands
Beyond the borders of space and time
The forces of law and chaos unfurled
Nothing can stop his urge to understand
the evil he holds in his hand
Heart of Stone
Worn-out to the bone
Final heir to the Ruby Throne

Howling to the Moon
Singing my old magic tune
I am the son of a gun
Daring to defy the wicked one
Here, where pure chaos still reigns
Behind the red waters of the river Styx
lies the heart of utter eclipse
Forever I’m bound to stay
Crushing the evil Blight
Raising the purifying Light
Striking with ruthless Might
I'm illuming hells eternal Night
Here, beyond the Gates of Hell
Behind the red waters of the river Styx
lies the heart of utter eclipse
Forever I’m bound to stay
Here, where I belong

I see empires crumbling to dust
Here, but gone in a blink of an eye
I see armies of alien realms
Marching through lands unknown to man
I wander where spheres intertwine
Deep in the fractions of space and time
Visions of Parallel Worlds
Untold planes are unfurled
I see cities of crystalline bone
Burning in the fire of a billion stars
I see faces of strange beauty
Deformed by the torments of downfall and grief
…grief and pain
I hold the secret to life itself
Here I am, right on the brink of awaking a sleeping god
My fate is restrained
by the boundaries of flesh and blood
Now the time has come
to leave my mortal cage behind
I will spin the wheels of time
to deform the cosmic design
The guardians of time ultimately deceived
my entire power is unleashed
I wander where spheres intertwine
Deep in the fractions of space and time
Visions of Parallel Worlds
Untold planes are unfurled

Coagulating Darkness
by Hellripper
supported by 10 fans who also own “VISIONS OF A PARALLEL WORLD”
Pretty much the best Black/Speed Metal I've listened to since I learned about Evil Invaders and Vulture. Everything you'd love to be reminded of about this musical era is there. The influences are what you'd expect too: Motörhead, Venom, Bathory, early Slayer, Celtic Frost; aggressive vocals, tortured guitar solos, pounding drums; everything is fast, clear and still a little grimy, but without reverb cranked up to the max. Amazing band, amazing album.

Nucléaire, Black -Speed ravageur, ou l'on peut entendre beaucoup d'influence. Mélodique, puissant et varié un album qui me fait fortement penser à l'album Terminal Redux de Vektor !!!

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!!
