Tried selling my soul to the devil, but he didn't want it.
And the cold stare of death countless times didn't take me.
The pool of blood I lied in did not drown me,
So I planted a seed in a drought and I waited.
I built my home
on a bloody field of bones,
where nothing grows
unless I say so.
I built my throne
under a sky of hungry crows,
and nothing grows
unless I say so.
I've programmed my mind to self destruct, but it still is my greatest weapon,
And my legs are full of self-inflicted scars, but they carried me through the battle.
My hands were the ones to feed me the poison, but they are still great creators,
And all of my demons tried to destroy me but i've turned them into my saviors,
And all of my demons tried to destroy me but i've turned them into my saviors.

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
