Without the Axiom,
cannot the proposition live on?
I can cross the ontological gap.
One plus one plus one until it equals infinity.
One may divide without end and never equal zero,
yet I will cross the everlasting plain
until I come to the Highest Point
that can never be reached.
He with His logic holds
that I can never reach the infinite peak,
but I have filled the universe with my own vomit
and will soar on that bilious wave
higher than the spirit rises
until emesis crests the throne-beyond-the-endless
and I breach the divide of being
separating second from the Primary.
I will to cross the ontological chasm
by my own power,
breaking the threshold to the ever-rising throne,
even though I must consume infinite energy as I approach.
I want to sit on the throne
even if I fail before it.
I lust for the scepter
even if a figure of mockery.
I will be the cornerstone,
even if the temple walls fall upon me.
I bestow on myself the blessing.
I am Mostly High,
and I will hold the threads in place –
or else climax as they tear in my fingers.
I am now the first, the last, and the center.
All eyes will be drawn to me,
even as we collapse into fame.
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
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
