lyrics
Follow the black smoke
Follow the stench into the deep
Drawn in by the lingering, dark,
sour reek of impending death
Use the craft to perform the duty
The unquenchable thirst, the miasma of rot.
Surrounded, completely.
It speaks, it calls.
From the filth it stretches into her nostrils,
The demands of Mors are binding.
Death and nothing more.
The thirst floods the mind,
Incontestable urges, the hunger engulfs the body
Inescapable as the hunger of the wolf
The hunger not of body but soul
Taken by moonlight, delivered by the witch
For the privilege of life and the curse of time
With limitless rage, explore the power.
Explore the fresh hells behind your eyes.
With limitless rage, explore death
Mirroring the fear of despair
Follow the stench into the deep,
Drawn in by the lingering dark,
The sour reek of impending death,
The demands of Mors are binding.
The limitless anger of the great antiquity
The hunger not of body but soul,
Taken by the moonlight,
Delivered by the witch.
never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu
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
