lyrics
This day I awoke in poisonous smoke
from my sleep upon pillows of rust
And I spoke to the wild like a motherless child
All alone and unable to trust.
And a flood cleaned the streets, freed the gutter from creeps
fluid moment when dust turns to mud
and a cloudbursting rain numbs all your pain
but it only retreats to come back.
All the bridges I crossed - ropes that I tossed
on the endless ascend to apex
have been wasted time – i was led by blind
one woe keeps devouring the next.
Powdery mildew spreads over those living dead
Trapped deep in the paltriest of lives
Destitute - ill repute – suffer in solitude
Not an acre of wheat will survive.
ruthless, cold determination
pushed by forces of gravity
into the bottomless pit
of idle self-contemplation
marks the tombstone for destiny
on the massgrave of time.
Disorder and devotion -
rivers become oceans
a maelstrom - crushing coastlines
leaving chaos and commotion
flotsam and jetsam
washed ashore by the waters
within the most precious things
this pityful life can bring
Mankind,
Apes in search of salvation
murderous crown of creation
drenched in morality,
behold the catastrophe
We are
the heavenly ill congregation
winding in self mutilation
like a turin horse tenderly
we embrace our misery.

The first 30 seconds of "Revenge by Fire" convinced me to get the whole album! It is a face-melting blend of speed and black metal, reminiscent of Hellripper! KVAEN is a Swedish solo project much like Hellripper but many known guest musicians helped J. Björnfot in his endeavor. Altogether it is really a solid debut album, I loved the melodies and the pace changes in the second half too, ending with a "calm" instrumental one. Well-done!! sachavonkarl74

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
