lyrics
Final hour
You’ve reached the end, the abyss, the barren fields - your life torn asunder. You’ve reached the peak, the final hour, you are doomed to adapt. In their world, this realm of blame - guilty as charged, feed on their hate. Pushed to the edge and laughed upon, the dregs will prevail over you. You’ll never fit into their social grid - in sync with the herd. Brought to your knees and spat upon - this system will swallow you whole. Onward to death - hope has forsaken you. Pushed aside - no one there to give a shit. Drenched in shame - there is only pity to keep you warm. You are to blame for thinking that you could run from this. With all dreams and wishes gone what will you consume in these endless nights? Dust and forgotten flesh - the pleasures of the servants. Damned to rejoice, gone is the burden of truth. This new life has taken all lively from you. Compensation now is your only friend. Depravation - welcome the descent.
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 edoerfler
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
