QWÄLEN
UNOHDAN SINUT (TIME TO KILL RECORDS)
Label:
TIME TO KILL RECORDS
Comes in a DVD packaging. Qwälen became what it is in 2017. The band members share a passion for playing music in its various raw manifestations and their band backgrounds include Küroishi, Nistikko, Dumathoin and Akma among many others.
Punk background bleeds into the music connecting Qwälen's interpretation of black metal into how the genre started decades ago.
Simplicity, rawness, speed and honesty. These values were present in the beginning and the same values still hold true.
Punk background especially shows live as the chaotic energy of hardcore punk clashes with the ritualistic nature of black metal.
What is left when you lose something dear to you? The world appears as a dark dystopian wasteland, with no one left to offer anything even close to comfort.
Self-pity, misanthropy, Satan and abandonment offer new alternatives. Where can one turn his or her gaze to eventually forget and rebuild? "Now I can burn my temple.
Destroy everything I created. Draw the plans into its ashes and start anew."
