The Horror
04:08
|
|||
|
Terror dawn tears me into shiny shreds
Fills my mouth with leathery hides
To smother my retching cries
Trembling corpse, spasmodic limbs
Violent expulsion of all the fluids kept within
The horror
Murky days spent in skinless grinding
Like shadows, like decomposing meat
With nails through our hands
We’re emptied out
We walk, we crawl, slowly dying

Night Sweet Night
04:44
|
|||
|
Glowing sun, the scything light
Searing serpent
Glowing sphere, to baptize
Us all with solstice
Sleepless Horus
Darkest night awaken to drown the fear
One more day is ending
Night, sweet night
Sekhmet, mother of bloody dawn
Lioness of Ra
Drinking the whites of our eyes
Right hand of the oppressor
She rides the sands into war
Perpetrating violent battle
Tearing her victims to pieces
To watch them fucking die
Darkest night awaken to drown the fear
One more day is ending
Night, sweet night

Until Death
05:11
|
|||
|
The eye ablaze up high
Slowly creeping down
A pyre descending in red
Settling into dusk and gloom
It burns through veils of ashes swirling
Creatures gather in front of the furnace
Awaiting the falling of night
Chased by their screams
Echoing through the forest
I stumble further away from the path
Yet here they find me
With their knives unsheathed
And the symbol of their god
On their shields
Those curs intended
To make me suffer
I hate you until death
The world wanes
As the noose tightens
They light the fire
Praising their god
The roaring flames
Drown my cries

Deities of War
05:20

Carrions
Riding on the storm
Through clouds of smoke
From fires
Down below
The slaughterfield unfolds
With mountains
Of corpses
An armored figure rises
Reflecting the sunlight
His features are ghoulish and pale
His heart a crimson black
Slowly he lifts his gaze to the sky
Steadying himself
He sings to the heavens
The home of ancestral bloodshed
He calls upon their favor
Upon their strength
The ancient deities of war
Goddess of the South
Let your eye go forth against those
Who oppress us in the kingdom
When it comes down from heaven
No human eye can be raised against it
Goddess of the East
Those who destroy as is their wont
And with their evil natures harm the righteous
May Soma give them over to the serpent
Or to your lap consign them

Drive
04:23
|
|||
|
In the headlights formless shadows flicker into life
Falling under the wheels
Jagged creatures born where light meets the night
Bathed in red once they reappear
From an eerie rush of white
Branches are reaching
A flash of piercing, blinded eyes
Through the windscreen
Shards are everywhere
A vast glittering sea
Slick with blood
I’m fighting to stay
In the quiet calm
The air feels stale
There’s an alien sound
Its skin is pale
Eyes wide, it’s moving towards me

Forever Young
05:04
|

|
Relatively uneventful existence until she was 12
When vile murder occurred
Seventeen stabwounds left her
Forever young
Her parents were weeping by the grave
But she was not dead
And so she rose again
Thirsting for vengeance upon her killer
Forever wronged
At night she spoke to him in his sleep
Of hellish things and dire dreams
Of childhood scars unhealed
Of cellar doors locked and sealed
He awoke drenched in sweat
At first relieved to be alone in bed
But then somewhere close he heard a chilling scream
The ghoulish girl, her face unfurled, lurched at him
His children were weeping by the grave
But he was not dead

They Are Here
04:08
|
|||
|
Beating hearts behind the walls
Earthy smells abound
The source of tears and bloody stains
Reappears
The signs are here
In the crude scars
On their tattooed flesh
And in their hollow eyes
They cannot speak
They cannot see or hear
Crawling, creeping to me
Faces falling apart
Their reaching hands are twisting out of shape
Devoid of natural form
Screaming inhumanly
Tearing at my clothes and my skin
Their fingernails leave filthy marks
The stink is unbearable up close
They overwhelm me
I run down the stairs
Into the basement below
I’m trapped in the dark
There’s no way out
They are here

Death Epic
04:59
|
|||
|
Breathing slowing to nothing
The heart skips a beat
Then stops for good
The eyes close shut
The skin changes hue
While cooling off
The body bloats
Fluids are expelled
Maggots feed
As the flesh decays
Tissue dissolves
Bones are exposed
The dried-up remains
Interred in soil
Are overgrown
With straws of grass

Hurt Them
04:39
|
|||
|
I feel this chill
When bitter eyes wreak frost
All the people are born to hurt
And hurt them I will
I’ll live one life and die broken
I’ll breathe infected blood
Your rotting face makes me choke
I wish that you would live

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.

Mikolaj is a real multi-talent in bass as well as guitar as well as vocals and "Darkside" Maciej's drumming is a well-calibrated 100th-of-seconds-clockwork. Not for nothing is Mgla considered as a standard for a lot of other blacker-than-black metal bands. I hope to see this band live once.....

Up until now this is my favorite Varathron release with it's perfect level of aggression and great variation. Let's see, if The Crimson Temple will be able to change that.
