Recessing into the bed spread. My head has never felt such weight.
These quandaries, such curiosity. This fountain will blooms against this fray.
Omniscience of everlasting everything. Expanding in these veins, the expanse of infinite space.
I attempt to quell this fear!
In this new light, i bathe.
Conundrum that I quantize with this shattered self.
Now I’m not spectral as I fall.
I can see, things were what would have been air.
Phantasms, passing through matter itself.
Before my outstretched hands, were three corpulent grasps clasped.
Grounding me, before everything I saw turned to black.
Though I was floating, now in darkness where I stand.
Pews come into view.
Below these seats
Jagged impalement of kneeling flesh.
Ravaged by balls of cotton and twine.
There in the darkness a pulpit stands.
Tanooki guarded mass of flesh, staring back.
A hulking mass of which I’ve never seen. It turns a shoulder to me.
Fear imbued in me, consuming what’s left of me. Humanity.
Who let you in here?
Welcome to the void.

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

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! doive
The Philly trio have been making technical but not impenetrable instrumental metal for nearly two decades. Their latest shreds, of course. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 8, 2016

I love this particular niche of modern black metal. Crisp, biting production and clear, cutting riffs. Imperialist are among the best there is right now. Brett (Lascaille's Shroud / Soulmass)
