Perfect black metal

"Absolutely stunning release from a group who quickly faded into obscurity, this is raw and agressive yet intelligent and atmospheric blackmetal that is relative to Emperor's 'In The Nightside Eclipse' in both aesthetic and structure as its asymmetrical and classical sensibilities clash to create a body of work alive with aural energy. Very listenable the whole way through; fast, expansive, nothing silly or overdone, and managing to be powerful at times more than almost anything I've heard.One of the most satisfying finds that few people know about and fewer reccomend; the kind of thing you spend hours sifting through in metal sections, listen to, and immdiately add to your top 10 lists and never look back."
Perfect raging creative black metal

"Kvist is yet another band no-one knows very much about, who put out one amazing album and then dissapeared into the musical underground. This is amazingly constructed raging/epic blackmetal of the highest caliber. Comtemplative and agressive, the reason everyone loves Emperor's 'In The Nightside Eclipse,' this is raw sonic hatred coupled with interesting musical ideas (at times they heavily use jazz chordal progressions on top of wandering classical lines of shifting modes). A definite feeling of atmosphere without the heavy use of keyboards."
THIS ALBUM ROCKS

"it's great black metal that obviously no one really knows about (this band at least). great bass lines. check out Art Manifestia, the first track. it'll blow you away."
