This one needs attention
And a lot !

Much much more than this from us
It’s weird, black and morbid edged

Add this to your list
Booyakasha’s for the band
More than five please

Thanks Hekatomb !

Death by hanging...

YomaBarr Better than Furia's latest, I kid you not. Furia, pass the torch. Fans of Sea Mosquito should be happy too.
Lying in the dark... with this... see where you go. One candle allowed.

love your comment, Gollumgotha

darkenedspirit (Midgard_OBM) A great experience of death through a sick Black Metal album! Deranged, an oppressive and suffocating atmosphere, nice artworks, pretty good vocals well scorched, slashing riffs, a really excellent release.

My birth was announced by a thousands of vermin And each carried proudly the brazen trumpet To herald the first breath To welcome the spawn of nothingness One soul, one flesh, one mind and gruel blood of the blinded one The cradle, the frame, the cloth and loathful stench of sacred caul The crown, the coin, the sword and pinning screams of left behind I crawl in light, I crawl in dusk, I crawl in mirk; so you welcomed me Now let me in the world you know Condemned eyes, following each of my steps Devil! Devil! They scream None do I know, none I would like to know Don't let me drown, don't let me! Whenever I look, whererver I turned Followed by stench of the Nascent Followed by voices of men Am I a tumour? Am I a cure? Am I a tumour? Am I a cure? I raised the veil of living Now I breath with fresh air I'm now sentient The life of the insane is so crystal pure! Left of the chains of the cold, empty world The rules set in stone by the ancient dust No longer hold me, no longer I bring the cure I am the cure I bring the cure I am the cure One soul, one flesh, one mind and gruel blood of the blinded one The cradle, the frame, the cloth and loathful stench of sacred caul The crown, the coin, the sword and pinning screams of left behind I crawl in light, I crawl in dusk, I crawl in mirk; so you welcomed me And my bithscream has rendered the world And all those called them sane have lost their minds And I brought the joy of revel Where reason is gone and nothing is clear Now let me die again. Again. And again.
2.	THIS IS AN ETERNAL DEATH THAT WE ALL FEAR 17:17	lyrics	buy track
My body was left behind The purity of the Veiled One The silence I needed so long The freedom of the Void The first thing I saw after the Pass was the Desert where the Sand was made of Dust and Cold Ash And I took just one grain The second thing I saw after the Pass was the Sea Water was salty like Tears of the Abandoned Bride And I sip just one drop The third thing I saw after the Pass was the Chasm Where all Spirits screamed with Lust and Anguish And I heard just one Whisper The fourth thing I saw after the Pass was the Mire It hold me with a Iron Grasp of those I left behind And I hold just one hand back The fifth thing I saw after the Pass was the Mountain Rocks brought one by one by Dessicated Birds of Prey And I stole just one Feather The sixth thing I saw after the Pass was the Altar With the Golden Bowl, full with Newborns' Eyes And I needed just one of them. And the seventh thing after the Pass was the Garden Where the Pallid Bride waited for me since Beginning And I Accepted Her We all fear the Death Eternal The Desolated We all fear the Death Eternal The Forlorn Soul, Sand, Whisper, Oblivion Silent Ones! Now I hear you and all the fear is left Consequence, Salvation, Retribution, Pennance Repent, scream the Voice, Repent, the Harridan says. (Why should I?) Fear the Eternal Death as we all do, they're tempting you still Hold this world with the Grasp of the Living, take the Iron Chain. Crushing weight of all your Sins will hold you still on place. Soul, Sand, Whisper, Sin Decay, Cry, Hope. Oblivion Silent Ones! Now I hear you and all the fear is left Consequence, Salvation, Retribution, Pennance The Death is not Eternal

Unsettling Whispers

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

This album is just incredible, majestical. Is that even a word? A true masterpiece, and one that I dont play that often so that it doesn't get overplayed and soften the blow you get each time fromthis heavy slab. halfmartian
