lyrics
Wash over me, nostalgic ablution to thaw
Bleed over me, carbon memory sharp to a flaw
Blow off the dust, revel in the scent of iron rust
A patina flakes and my body's compelled to
March! Strike! Bleed! Die!
Calling to war the horns through the mist
Ache of the millstone for which we are grist
Running out red we nourish the glade
Spilling a sigh from the edge of the blade
March! Strike! Bleed! Die!
Trumpets distract from the sickening din
Orders to serve are the freedom to sin
Glimpsing a ray through the meshwork of Hell
Drowning the day in a fog that envelopes us all
Almost alive, in the jaws of defeat
Almost alive, where the flesh fails the weak
And time, claims the spoils
The mind, writhes and roils
Then, a fresh drop fell
Sense pulse, tidal swell, single drop, sound a knell of
Rage! Shame!
Everything tinted red, channeling, totemic
Rage! Shame!
All hold the line, no matter how many die
All move forward; among us there are no cowards
Kinship with, former self, ragged breath, slip into the
Dream! Doom!
Spilling blood, any source, bonded to, inertial
Dream! Doom!
Now all that is gone
Of scars and stains
Only shame remains
Heed autumn's coloured warning
And leave this field
Covered in ice

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

Late 90's BM worship, but it's also a lil more than that. This album takes the best elements from the scene it's inspired by and mostly avoids the worst of it; the song-writing is well-written, it's performed with passion and fun, and the production is raw but isn't lo-fi. (i.e. it doesn't obfuscate and/or suckass).
Tl;dr It's safe but high quality BM. Recommended. Rabbit
