A sword, a sword, sharpened and polished
Sharpened for the slaughter of the Image of God
Yes a sword, a sword, to gut the flesh of life
Behold the demise of God's creation
Die
Blot out the sons of men
Repent over Your creation
For Thy crown of Thorns was of the earthen soil
And Satan a finger of the shrouded left hand
Angels sound the trumpets for the Lord's vengeance
A blackened sun and a bloody moon adorn the heavens
The Son of God, for all to see
Wielding a sword, Jesus weeps
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
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
