Once more a place dark, lost
When the black smoke rolls over the hills you feel the tension
You feel the tension in your bones
Our beautiful day, encapsulate
A love once lost
Scenes shot through a memory
Why cant we return to the beginning
The darkless day stays with me
Even through this ending
Scenes shot through a memory
Why can't you be...
Here
You feel the tension
You feel the tension in your bones
Watch the village alight
Testing the angry sea
You feel the edge tonight
Burn through the memories
Dreaming of the fall
The darkened days ahead
Perception ground so dull
Plagued ancestry
Repetition wrestles innocence
Attention lags behind me
Intense visions from within
Death creeps into focus
Wet grass blurs the sense
Pressed up against
The stone work stands still
Vessel filled with swill
Crawl to the healing fountain
Let the essence wash over me
I push myself into the center
And let the tension leave my bones
I dig this album so much, definitely a keeper. Subtly and masterfully mixing death metal subgenres, backed with an over the top production. They're true professionals. Can't wait for their next release! doive
I bought the digital version and after a few listens I realised I hadn't paid enough, so I bought the CD from Transcending Obscurity. Effing great. jousterjim
Serious aficionado level Prog/Tech Death.
The unique colors they bring to this record are not really heard elsewhere. They have forged their own sound and it’s totally badass. I guess The Faceless could be mentioned for reference of similar styles/tones.
They care for the song craft as much as the tasty Tech and Leads. It really is like everyone is saying....a perfect Metal experience. Salami Dick Death
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
