translucence, an aura of my primal stench
i'll break all who stand before me
be he human, beast, or structure
my fractured humanity drives me
slowing the rational thoughts that try to grasp me
i see firelight flickering from a window
my mark has been found; father, mother, daughter, son
i do not care, you'll all wash my body in blood
as I break the bones, suck the juices
i feel a strange abhorrence wash over me
what? it's nothing, endure the slaughter
peel the skin back from the sinew
don't hesitate, the animal within must persist
you'll not be my first, tendons stripped, achilles ripped
my thirst for crimson begins now
though sated, I am compelled to feast
the taste of the young ones, so fresh, so untainted,
my sickness walks within me
stop, you hideous beast
a voice howls from the side
azure-clad, voice hardened
but you will never cease me

PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it.
That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter. Matten

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
