Two years after the highly acclaimed debut The Funeral Pyre — an album that took the underground by storm and received praise from critics worldwide for its fierce blend of Black, Thrash, Pagan, and Speed Metal — KVAEN returns stronger than ever.

With The Great Below, KVAEN has sharpened the blades and taken everything to the next level. The sound is grander, darker, and more intense than ever before. Building upon the foundation laid by The Funeral Pyre, this monumental second album delivers eight tracks of pure Scandinavian fire.

This time, drummer Tommi Tuhkala (also KVAEN’s live drummer) joins the fold, adding relentless precision to the chaos. But that’s not all — The Great Below also features a stellar lineup of guest musicians, including Michael Denner (Mercyful Fate/King Diamond), Sebastian "Battle" Norder, Angus Norder, Nephente, and Vreth of Finntroll, who closes the album with a blazing performance on The Fire Within Him Burns.

The Great Below is a worthy successor to The Funeral Pyre — an album destined to leave its mark on the blackened metal underground once again.
