lyrics
From the unceasing stare of the heavenly eye
the true heart sickens
where the purifying streams of life ran dry
as the blood thickened.
Icarus in the glory of his own mortality
could not break the silence of divine winds
with blunt claws and featherless wings.
Self-loathing sprouts underneath dark shades
which have never been pierced
by the flash of the blade.
A white veil
laid down on the green that night
between pillars of black
reflecting the pale blue light.
A play of colors - a subtle death in disguise
spreads his fragrance like swarming fireflies.
Pure, radiant - like cherry blossoms in spring
know nothing but falling -
dying in beauty within.
If I go riding the waves
my corpse shall crown the foam
If I cross highest mountains
deep moss shall grow
on my mortal remains
But if I die
at his holy feet
and breathe my last black breath
From my dead body shall grow new seed
And I won’t ever look back.
Most horrific self inflicted wounds
caused by the sword of truth,
Death without deliverance
and atonement of guilt,
Punishment in the form of life
and the dawn of the flesh.

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
