Hand to those who submit to the herd
Chastise those who dare to differ from the mass
Cognitive dissonance embraced tightly
Living within a world of chaos breeds distaste in the meek
Opposition translates to blind hate within a weak mind
Driving a blade into my own ear
Just to escape the unceasing noise created by these belligerent drones
Hypocrisy held as a constant justification
Archaic dogma joyously exhumed and ignorantly praised
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
Heaviest thing I’ve heard all year along with Altarage. Okay I’ve been listening to this record for the past two weeks and it just gets better and better. Dissonant grooves galore Jacob Ballance
What a BEAST of an album. When it comes to blending black metal and mathcore, these guys and Hoplites are the clear leaders of the pack. This album is sheer annihilation of everything in it's path. Pure chaos and destruction. And it is beautiful. Ryan
