Birthing pains.
Mind and body torn apart.
Then a swirling vibrancy spilling into endless expanse,
involuting into paradoxical void pregnant with my consciousness.
I, the nucleus of this primordial dance,
push forward to escape Nothing
and to fill all in all until the boundaries
that stretch of forever are filled.
I am the ultimate preconceived,
turning to myself for existential grounding.
Separate entity from essence to enhance identity.
To be sovereign,
I must turn my soul into a cell
forever locked away from the outside
and ever turning inwardly.
A new existence awaits where limitless possibilities
converge in me and are projected
outward again as I see fit.
This path is no road, but stars! Countless stars!
I expand and become ageless black.
My hands, my feet dare to find an edge of reality,
only finding more of myself.
AM I NOT I AM?
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
