Gone astray
Numb and blind
Within voracious paths
Like it would be a matter of life and death
Insatiable greed
Just more and more
feeding the fire
The fire of the cult
Feast for the Pigs
Buttress for the shrine
Bow before the golden serpent
Of the leading cult
Hail the shimmering wealth
Ascendance into slavery
Pressure, greed and guilt
envy, malevolence and leeriness
backstabbing for more
silver and gold
Leaders among the Leadingless
Clinging to the ladders
Enunciators of prosperity
The prophets of annihilation
Lifeless rotting
Creeping to the shrine
To worship and give yourself away
To the refulgent demon
feeding the fire
The fire of the cult
Feast for the Pigs
Buttress for the shrine
Bow before the golden serpent
Of the leading cult
Hail the shimmering wealth
Ascendance into slavery
a gilded cenotaph
Forever…
Slaves of a lie
Of Meaningless numbers
Bound in silver chains
slobbering for more
Though shall bath
in fluid gold
Your arrogant greed
Shall be your grave
Though shall bath
in fluid gold
Your arrogant greed
Shall be your grave
Forever… a gilded cenotaph

Obscure Divinations
05:54
|
|||
|
A sudden awakening
My eyes wide shut
whispering, shouting
in foreign tongues
speaking of horror
torture and pain
of all the thousand times
I killed and died before
hunters are chasing me
sanguinary spectacle
hidden behind their masks
faceless skin, ancient specter
trying to run away
but I´m scared stiff
There is No way out
The ground is gone
I´m Endlessly falling
Into absolutely nothing
Lost in time and space
The Glittering light
Is blinding me
Surrounded by darkness
eaten by infinity
When night embraces me
I meet my fate
My eyelids close and
I enter the gate
Obscure divinations
Blood-curdling memories
Shadows from the past
Bring forth my nemesis
these are my nights
I AM stuck in an infinite loop
But when I mentally accept and take
My rightful punishment
I will be done with
The world of nightmares
And I will forever rest
In peaceful sleep
I´m screaming angrily
Trying to express myself
But im unable to speak
And when I look down on me
There is Viscous blood
Along my lips and chin
and every single tooth
in my mouth is crumbling
I hear Suspicious noise
Oppressive feeling is rising
Someone is there
The door opens
I stare into muzzle flash
And time starts to freeze
When night embraces me
I meet my fate
My eyelids close and
I enter the gate
Obscure divinations
Blood-curdling memories
Shadows from the past
Bring forth my nemesis
When night embraces me
I meet my fate
My eyelids close and
I enter the gate
proud and confident
I welcome my dreams
When night embraces me
there are no more bloody screams

Prayer
07:58
|
|||
|
Thou shall not fear
embrace thy holy death
the gift for the ferryman has been given
SO close your eyes forever
it is my duty
to ensure the crossing
of every impure human being
the cleansing has begun
Disenchanted
Dark and starless
The sky presents itself
soaked in gloomy black
depraved through centuries
predestinated to fall
awaiting salvation
delivered by the hand of judge
I am summoner
I am deliverance
I am ultimate certitude
And I´m transcendence
Coins – on the eyes of the dead
Signs – cut in their heads
Human shells – embalmed and pristine
Hear my prayer – the endtime doctrine
Blood flows like water
A river to the netherworld
reset the earth
to the point of origin
Oh mighty architects of the universe
Enlighten my path
Saturate me with power
fulfill my fate – cause I …. am….
the Executor
I am Doom
I am Obliteration
And I am the heir to the….
VOID – IN the eyes of the dead
Signs – cut in their heads
Human shells – embalmed and pristine
Hear my prayer – the endtime doctrine
Seize the chance
To purge the world from malady
And one memorable day
The blood-phoenix will rise again
This is my prayer
My prayer from the end of times
The proclamation
Of the apodictic judgement
seize the chance
to purge the world from malady
and one memorable day
the blood-phoenix will rise again

it´s sickening me to see
degeneration in our world of human supremacy
there´s a bunch of a few people ruling this world
they are worshipping the false gods
they are manipulating everything and everyone
with their mass media and streams
they are teaching our children the wrong values
they are impure and they will always lie to us
they bring us fake democracy just to stay in power
and they are crowning their false kings right in front of our eyes
a diabolical plan
through hundreds of years
we were running the gauntlet
through pain, wars and tears
open …your eyes
it is up to us
to thwart their objectives
evolve and strengthen our aura
to inflame our minds
because we are the justice
and we don´t give a goddamn fuck on their goals and beliefs
a diabolical plan
through hundreds of years
we were running the gauntlet
through death, wars and tears
there´s just a bunch of a few people ruling this world
they are worshipping the false gods
and they are manipulating everything and everyone
with their mass media and streams
they are trying to teach us the wrong values
they are impure and they will always lie to us
cause they are bringing their fake democracy just to stay in power
in power!
together we´ll be kings
cause we are the black flame
and we´re bringing the aura of purity
over kingdoms and homes
to eradicate them in the name of purgAtion
because we are the ones to be
in power!

the seeing among the blind
is the philosopher… of light
March through the darkness
On Towards the light
Put forth your hand
embrace and unite
The chalice of wisdom
Perceive it´s holy presence
The well of might
Imbibe it´s pure essence
Eager for knowledge
Wisdom and might
Seeking for power
Answers and light
Quenchless compulsion
To dominate and rule
Burning ambition
The infinite fuel
We are destined to be adored,
Because we are the symbol of supremacy
Become the master
Of masters
We were created to fucking Dominate
And rule this world
The comprisal of knowledge
Swallow it´s brilliance
The instrument of power
Endow them with guidance
Eager for knowledge
Wisdom and might
Seeking for power
Answers and light
Quenchless compulsion
To dominate and rule
Burning ambition
The infinite fuel
the seeing among the blind
is the philosopher of light
the leader of mind
becomes ruler of the world
Soul searchers
Drowning in emptiness
condemned futile existences
I doom you for what you are !
Obedience And purity
Justice and honesty
pillars of the eternal empire
a king shall be crowned

Two Ancient Spirits
05:42
|

Aeons ago
Under a crimson moon
A fateful ceremony took it´s place
It was a ritual
Of ancient magic AND DEVOTION
two old spirits
melting into each other
crossing their bloodlines
becoming one forever
blazing heat, emitting sparks
a unison of perfection
we were setting free
the most powerful force
it was an everlasting promise
of mutual dedication
the undying love
in its purest form
destined for each other
a pact that has been sealed by moistened lips
you are mine
and forever I´m yours
As time passed by
our light was fading
Earthly shells were Rotting
But on our deathbeds
We´ve always sworn an oath
it was an everlasting promise
of mutual dedication
the undying love
in its purest form
destined for each other
a pact that has been sealed by moistened lips
you are mine
and forever I am yours
Through all the centuries
Through death and birth
We were witness
Of mankind´s darkest hour
When I manage to close my burning eyes
I feel your touch, your breath of life
All of your beauty, your strength and regalness
Never, I have thought
You could be taken away
within one single glimpse of an eye
I STILL CAN HEAR
YOUr VOICE, YOUR SCREAMS
FROM THE LAND OF DISTANT SHADOWS
Through the mists of time
I´ll be looking for you
I´ll be Searching
your divinity
your divinity…
You will be mine again…
my undying love

Sanatory Silence
06:48
|

|
Oh might, wisdom
Fortune and blood
I hallow my mind
To the cosmic powers
To the infinitude itself
In deep humility
For your unimitable glory
Oh gods of the abyss
Thoughts of null
Clear my mind
See the unseen
Reveal eternalness
Take my spirit
Carry me away
To astral spheres
Of sanatory silence
Form my sanctuary
My place of rest
Total abandonment
Into eternity
I tender you
Full of expectations
sanity
On a silver plate
accept my offering
admit me to your realm
drown me in your words
forever flood my world
The time has come
Retirement of the Patriarch
Let the haze of oblivion
Spread over
These vanities of earthly life
Take my spirit
Carry me away
To astral spheres
Of sanatory silence
Form my sanctuary
My place of rest
Total abandonment
Into eternity
Take my spirit
Carry me away
To astral spheres
Of sanatory silence

One of the greatest black metal albums ever!

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.

The first 30 seconds of "Revenge by Fire" convinced me to get the whole album! It is a face-melting blend of speed and black metal, reminiscent of Hellripper! KVAEN is a Swedish solo project much like Hellripper but many known guest musicians helped J. Björnfot in his endeavor. Altogether it is really a solid debut album, I loved the melodies and the pace changes in the second half too, ending with a "calm" instrumental one. Well-done!!

Altäre der Vergänglichkeit

Crushing blackened doom from this German band that counterbalances blinding fury with moments of surprising, melancholy melody.

The eight tracks on the latest from German black metal band pummel and hiss, working occasional atmospheric moments into the din.

The atmosphere of this album is fantastic. Makes you feel like you're knee-deep in the trenches drenched in mud, filth, sweat, and blood. Truly encapsulates the horrors of World War I, and the fact that the lyrics of some of the songs are taken from old war letters really adds to the authenticity. Favorite Track(s): Die Feuertaufe, Grabenlieder
