Created From Death
05:29
|
|||
|
Emergent, given new life
Cosmos in corporeal form
Raging through the awakening
Guided by the stoic giant
Speaks through walls of sleep
Silence, never so loud
Unproven messiah
Taken into hiding
Child of stars and iron
Reactor-born
Created from death
Now absorb the world
Through words and images of days gone by
and yet to be, fast track through hell
Like a sea, felt between
Let the ocean in
Surveyed from an oaken throne
Built of flesh and bone
Found outside of the moment and so it is seen
Layers peeled to the core reality
Two selves split, the mythic soul
As it died, the next chapter began
Created from death
Product of ancient minds and (wo)man

Oneiromantic Rites
05:41
|
|||
|
Taken from the forest of black to the mountains in white
Raised by a beast, passing for a man, mastering senses, assimilating
What was once perceived as madness, granted no reprieve
Overwhelmed by the knowledge it seeks
While still ignorant of the horror beneath
Experience the wait of the world
Flashes of insight across time
Oneiromantic rites
This is the kingdom reserved as mine
Not yet found my voice, nor given words to speak
It is a process of coming into being
Within the lair of the wolf
In the shadow of the crooked cross
Communicate through sheer force of will
Oneiromancer guiding even after death
Outside of time, even inside these rare moments of truth
Ultimately united, through all nature
Every civilisation all at once
Lessons of ages, at last learned

Lebensraum
05:43
|
|||
|
Era of conflict
Rally against weak ideaology
Rotten doctrine of the Christ
Essence of the mission to deliver
Foundations of strength
Upon which to build superior lives
Sheep will be devoured by the wolves
Spineless vermin will be drowned
By the flood of a higher order
Sold on a vision of the future
Lebensraum for the taking
To accommodate expansion of the master race
Masses mesmerised by another great lie
Fears of the simple man weaponised
Spread the deception far and wide
All tools at our disposal
Commandeered for the “righteous” side
False flag to justify
Aggressor plays the victimised
Victory is prophecised
Atrocity behind the battle lines
Foreshadow the carnage to come
Humanity, picked apart and undone
Staring down the barrel of a gun
Surrender is the only option
In league with powers misunderstood
Secret war underway with a design
They thought they shared
But a pact with a devil
Cannot be un-made
|

As certain as the planet turns
There will be a drive to … fight
Cult of the black sun, nemesis
Descended from a sorcerer king,
Corrupted Elohim
Preventing thousand year reign
You have been deceived
There is no hollow earth
Face ruination at the hand of
Andrasteia’s…. child
Cult of the black sun, nemesis
Descended from a sorcerer king
Corrupted Elohim
Called to be the scouring force
Is knowledge worth this bitter curse?

Last Defilement
04:52
|
|||
|
An experiment from the dark division
Allegiance pays lucrative dividends
New battle assets born from the bodies of untermensch
Tortured at the end of life
Now slaves after death
Nothing of the resource is wasted
Raw material compiled
Vanquished and put to work
Last defilement of pitiful lives
Last defilement!
Who truly controls the power that awakes them
Directing anger, hatred of aeons
Moulded into grotesque forms
He who meddles in darkness, falls forever damned
|

Perverted Science
02:28
|
|||
|
Cast all of this aside, place it on the highest shelf
From the comfort of the future historians will tell
The stories they choose
Tomorrow belongs to the victor[s of today
At our service; this perverted science
Empires will rise and fall
But this new focal point will supersede them all
Tomorrow belongs to the victors of today
Now in its service; perverted science!
Protracted by the light of perverted science

Escape to the Arctic
06:06
|
|||
|
Eve of invasion; chaos swarming, (body) blitzkrieg
Before dawn, first engagement off the coast
Battlecruiser helpless, escort destroyer is overcome
Mindless directed by malevolence
Without warning: behemoth appears from the deep
Power of nature again crystallised
Awoken from its sleep
To take back control, reset discord back to peace
Just one unit would get through, enough to
wreak havoc, like a storm battering the land
A legion that needs no feeding is the beginning of the end
Escape to the Arctic
In permafrost, discover colossal form to be renewed
Sacrifice always needed, nothing is given free
Mankind undeserving
Preservation of the world tree is the elemental duty
Bull Elephant returns
With allies from the sea

Wayfarer
06:24
|
|||
|
Two crows are eyes in the sky, on high
Connected, resistance intensified
We have come this far, why not take flight?
Divergent pasts collide, heaven is a trick of the light
Wayfarer
Under cloak of night
Heralding doom
Craving worship
The vanity of weak gods
Given over to the ever flowing stream
Consciousness: great cull on the horizon
Together and alone
‘Til at last bring peace home
From beast to human to beast again
Heart of the downfall beckons the end
Living on as the noble power of dreams
Becoming myriad forms
Gaiascope, lit by a sunbeam
Wayfarer, prophet of change
Forging a new genesis
This host is a willing vessel
Righteous sacrifice
To lie in a silver lined tomb
As in the safety of a mother’s womb

I dig this album so much, definitely a keeper. Subtly and masterfully mixing death metal subgenres, backed with an over the top production. They're true professionals. Can't wait for their next release!

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.
