Shadows of blood have fallen all over the lands,
a festering fog with pale raven hair,
like ragged lips set against an unreachable end.
Carving hollow sockets from tired eyes,
erasing the chance of salvation from all choices made.
Through my most grievious faults I gave it life
with no intention of nurturing.
Yet it just takes and takes and takes.
It breathes, it sleeps, it rapes and follows.
It's the son I've abandoned, it's the daughter I've lost.
Embrace it, embrace me, not as it was, nor as it will ever be.
It seeks, it reaps, it tastes and swallows.
Hollow sockets, forking paths.
Find me shelter, I'll be right as rain.
In this dire night of violent immorality
I prize the things most as I lose them.

Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long! Lukas Kaufmann

Gaerea's first release of "Unsettling Whispers" was in 2018, and since, they dared define a "black metal" niche of their own, they dared to walk a new path and stir shit up a bit in the realm of BM, this album is a masterpiece and a milestone proving that it can be done, provided the band can pull it off, and they did, oh they did! Gloomy, dark, post-BM sludgy whatever, it's Gaerea, and this one belongs in my BC collection, the end. sachavonkarl74
