KVAEN dominated the underground scene and had the audience in a firm grip and still today the album continues to hold a special place for many, with the new album perfectly titled "The Great Below" Kvaen has taken everything to the max and created a follow up even more grand than it's debut, the blades are sharpened, and the sound is bigger than ever.
