I looked into your eyes and you looked into the light,
it was almost romantic if it wasn't so tragic...
I looked into your eyes, as they slowly lost their colors
And now they look like mine,
And now they look like mine.
Admiring your laugh and the way you wear your smile,
It was so unforgettable and painfully unbearable,
So I had to destroy your face
And now it looks like mine,
And now it looks like mine,
And now it looks like mine.
You looked into my mind and you knew
I can't be found inside,
There's someone else who only sees
in black and white and filthy reds.
Only once the room is silent,
Only when your breath is still,
Awoken by my steady heartbeat,
The emptiness is creeping in.
The sun will rise again tomorrow,
Your beauty will remain,
And my heart will remain as hollow,
You couldn't help me ease the pain.
I looked into your eyes and you looked into the night,
it was almost romantic if it wasn't so fucking tragic...
I looked into your eyes and there was no life inside,
Just a cloudy reflection of the ugliness that couldn't die.
A truly stellar death/doom album with heavy doses of black metal. Tracks like Isolation, Child of Light, and Broken Hymns deliver the sorrowful and icy tone of this album, elevated by the stirring cello compositions of Raphael Weinroth-Browne. The album delivers a deeply satisfying crescendo in Becoming Intangible before stirring the soul once again with Epilogue. Matt Richardson
Joseph Hawker subverts the musical and sociopolitical status quo with a black metal triptych that's as incendiary as it is impressionistic. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 5, 2022
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
