Ex Nihilo? This mortal coil did not sow its seed nothingness.
It was the contempt of this anguish, that my soul shined reverence unto itself.
I hastened where most tongues would have stumbled, rather - I chose to sanctify it. I saw the poison in theosis, and I saw the aethearea in the yawning abyss. Woe, unto ye angelic binds which forsake the aeons. This burden scorched like a saraph's fang upon the throat of God; this incarnation was strangled like a dove constricted by the knot of vipers. Verily did He say unto I, "receiveth this chrism, and be cast." It was exactly here where I came to see the virtue in all vices. For what vainglory would one hope to find in worthlessness? But nothingness? In days to come you will understand this - the will turning against life. The true knowledge revealed its repellent rot in that place where man would least desire to find it. It was a reflection of this truth, the vile, the abhorrent, and odious. -- For this truth does exist.
"The Devil has the broadest perspectives for God; therefore, he keeps so far away from God -- the Devil being the most ancient friend of wisdom"
-Friedrich Nietzsche
Ad eundum quo nemo ante iit..
And behold the hangman's knot of faith where the hangman himself once beheld his offering. I accepted this curse; and I blessed it. For I saw what it meant to be human, and I saw it eradicate the ideal. And came into question the value of this will, and I swore: "de omnibus dubitandum." I expelled this espirit vaste, and denied divinity. I descended even further, into this stoic regression. I cast locusts upon the pious strata, and ate the knowledge of God -- this was the coarsest void of the spirit -- the boldest glare of antithetic value. Alas, Ó pneúma tēs alētheías.

La traversée du désert n'aura pas duré quarante jours mais quatre longues années...
Avec Панихида, Батюшка renaît enfin de ses cendres et, bien que désormais seul (ou plus exactement entouré de deux chanteurs), Христофор accomplit un miracle. Il s'inscrit dans la continuité de Литоургиiа avec un black metal orthodoxe qui nous convie ici à une cérémonie dédiée aux morts. Sa vision est englobante : les mélodies, la gravité et le silence font toucher le paradis ; l'agressivité est luciférienne. Jordan Vauvert

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 100/100, like so many albums from mgla. How can a band hit the spot so many times? They are incredible. Thank you for accompanying me almost daily these days :) adrianradillo
