Swedish Black/Pagan/Speed/Metal Group KVAEN Announces new Album THE GREAT BELOW

Artwork by Niklas Webbjörn

Mixed And Mastered by Owe Inborr

Two Years after the successful and highly praised debut album The Funeral Pyre that took the the underground scene by surprise, and received high praise from critics all over the world! With its unique mix of elements of Black Thrash, Pagan and Speed metal.

KVAEN dominated the underground scene and had the audience in a firm grip, today still the album continues to hold a special place for many, with the new album titled "The Great Below" Kvaen has taken everything to the max and created a follow up even more grand than its debut, the blades are sharpened and the sound is bigger than ever. The Great below is a sophomore album you'll only hear once your in life time. Building on the sound developed on the Funeral Pyre but taking everything to new levels with a monster of 8 tracks, this time accompanied by drummer Tommi Tuhkala whom also serves as the live drummer for the band, but the album dosen't stop surpassing there, we have some special guests on both solos and vocal duets, Mike Weed, Sebastian (Battle) Angus Norder, Nephente, even guest work by Finnish folk metal vocalist Vreth of Finntroll ending the piece with The Fire Within Him Burns.

The Great below will surely please fans of the debut.
