Oh, how the hatred shakes the bones
Nostrils flare as tears are falling
Crucified, You're left weeping
A fate of damnation, bearing splintered cross
He - a lion - will seek, kill, destroy
Morning star, you'll bow to Me
God's creation adores what I AM as My Hands stretch out to slaughter them
Father forgive me for all I've done and all I do
Withhold Thy hatred from me by the pardon of Your Son's blood
A mass of rot inside out, death piled upon death
A crown of thorns woven from sin adoring the brow of Yeshua
Every praise a lamentation
And every bow a breaking of knees
Even the dead find no rest
They gnash their teeth and curse their mother's womb
Seven thrones and seven crowns rusting in heaven's tears
The winepress spews a sea of blood to drown the nations over iniquity
Yet once again, they do not repent
The light seduces and she does lie
And when the sword is to their throat, they will cry,
"Lord, my Lord, please save me!"
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
