lyrics
Mustering what strength remains, hoarse from screeching death
Blood stained, filth encrusted, withering
The husk of evil dwindling to a shell of a human
the feeble creature crawls onwards
In the serpent tongue, chanting back mindlessly into the cold air,
The fog of their breath, the whispers taken crawling through her skin
The Secrets of the black art failed to sustain
The powers of the dark lord reduced
The pentagram in her flesh burns cold, with open wounds she curses her undoing,
Steel slicing her hand, draws no blood,
to join the undying in hell for eternity.
Limply swinging limbs, disoriented and mesmerised by the euphoric touch of mortality’s embrace.
The fog of their breath
The whispers taken crawling through her skin
The Secrets of the black art failed to sustain
The pentagram burns in her flesh, cold, with open wounds she curses.
Blood stained, filth encrusted, withering
The husk of evil dwindling to a shell of a human
the feeble creature crawls onwards
In the serpent tongue, chanting back mindlessly into the cold air,
The fog of their breath, the whispers taken crawling through her skin
The Secrets of the black art failed to sustain
The powers of the dark lord reduced
The pentagram in her flesh burns cold, with open wounds she curses her undoing,
Steel slicing her hand, draws no blood,
to join the undying in hell for eternity.
Limply swinging limbs, disoriented and mesmerised by the euphoric touch of mortality’s embrace.
The fog of their breath
The whispers taken crawling through her skin
The Secrets of the black art failed to sustain
The pentagram burns in her flesh, cold, with open wounds she curses.

Even after several years... this is the top-fucking-notch modern death metal released in the 20s that I have ever listened to

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.

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.
