Embellished in your throne of infernal chastity
Oppressing the vulgar with your pure primacy
Breaking of souls once carnified
And with you your torch and veil deified
Impurifying the maternal son
Immortalizing the virtuous one
Emanation of the great cause
Separating this dream from dross
From the stillness of her eyes
Came the rhythm of the vibration
From the truths and the lies
Came truth, through emanation
The sphinx, alone in the midst of darkness
The light it strikes, smiting the languorous
Through the realms from which she ascends
Satyrs hear her cry of pestilence
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
Absolutely strong, black and bitter, like a cup of good old coffee or a properly packed pipe of strong tobacco. The album won't let you go unless you listen through it since the very first minute to the very last one, sunken in the frozen obsydian abyss. 10/10. lanserger22
