Mørklagt

Caifanes - Hasta Morir

No creas que por estar sentado aquí No voy a poder correr hacia ti, no, no No creas que por estar amarrado así No voy a poder abrazarte a ti

Hasta morir

No creas que por estar encerrado aquí No estoy pensando en ir por ti Llevarte lejos muy lejos Hasta que nadie se acuerde de ti

No creas que por estar desnudo así No voy a pasearme de puntitas en tu jardín No creas que esta navaja es para mí La traje para rascarte a ti

An awful lot of black metal bands sprang from Norway in the early 90s, many of which remain active and influential today. Kvist, on the other hand, seems to be a very short-lived and overlooked act, releasing only one album in 1995 before disbanding shortly after. Musically, "For Kunsten Maa Vi Evig Vike" is charged with unrelenting fury and venom to hold its own among Norway's best. In addition to the standard black metal instrumentation, the eerie synths and clearly audible bass in particular are a major draw for me.
