Everybody carries this black condensed bag
somewhere in his center
close to the stomach
it's filled with fear, anger, axiety, despair,
tiny teeth and wounds
we know it's there
when it takes over
when it reacts
or sedates
when it sharpens or dulls the blade
this black center
this black hole
(this black center
this black hole
this black bag
that you carry along)
everybody carries this black condensed bag
with portioned dark suprises
well hidden most the time
then cutting through the surface
like a knife
behind the happiest face
lives a little dark tennant
this black center
this black hole
that makes things hard to take back
that cuts off friends and opportunities
that cuts and bites
that is a part of you
this black center
this black hole

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
The Alberta crushers hold tight to their rank, astral-gazing grindcore, staring down abyssal torment all the while. Bandcamp Album of the Day Mar 31, 2020
