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
Pretty sure this is a concept album. Can't decide enough of the lyrics to be sure, but the song titles sure make it seem that way. Regardless, the thing fucking slaps. Dig the tone, the riffage, the general vibe: the fact that ASHEN HORDE understand the concepts like 'pacing' and 'build' (a lost art in our time). All around winner, regular rotation material.
