Short is the trip to the land with no borders
The fates are quick, and obey no orders
Soldier sinner and saint all receive no quarter
Short is the trip to the land with no borders
Nothing that is does end, but how real
Is consciousness?
Attention paid to the little deaths
Thanatonaut
On the sick bed or a foe’s sword
It’s the same thread the same scizzors
The psychopomps have the last word
Spun to length and then cut the cord
Persephone awaits at the ends
Of consciousness
To sleep perchance to meet his brother
Thanatonaut
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
What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music. Sælzer Bub
Seattle’s Laden captures the storm and stress of the greatest, grimmest post-metal, crafting songs from 20-megaton riffs. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 29, 2022
