Pilgrim followers of vulture minds
Empty vessels to be consumed
The rasping voice of the unseen
Beckons them
So ripe and willing victims
So conveniently frail
His talons reach forth in shadow
Embracing
He prepares them for gruesome death
Mass murder
Ceramic faces of blinded horror
Shattering like cloth
The blows draw chasms of red
Serrated by bone
Siphoning from them their blood
In septic crimson streams
He quickly fills disinfected vats
And incinerates the husks
Through the blood
Potency flows
Murdering
Is living
Incredibly high quality epic death doom that makes a perfect companion to watching the sun slowly rise through an endless black sky Endless Metal Podcast
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
