Both of Me

The devouring lust in pulse of breathe
vein furrows, venom and rope
to be in harmony with perishable flesh
all doubts are gone
to immerse in death
From depth of mind it is watching, hiding
the keys scattered beneath...
Amid doors and dreams, here I am, blinded
Fragments of life, through void i see
Compassion - that was never meant to be (it never came)
this whispering tongues inside were merciless (unto me)
Homage. Obeying before Thee. Without regrets
And to the fire the flesh was fed
Remains are burnt!
Remains are burnt...
Remains are burnt, are forlorn...
Remains are burnt...
Forevermore
From depth of mind it is watching, hiding
the keys scattered beneath...
Amid doors and dreams, here I am, blinded
Fragments of life, through void i see
No life, no joy
what dwelled inside - not left
Amid burned remains I`ve seen myself
Hourglass - is full of sand
And in this burnt remains I've left myself
I've left myself

Predominance

(O Father)
Would you like me to spill the blood?
Would you like me to prove my faith?
Thus are digging out the seeds of mud,
Cleanse my soul, Cleanse my flesh!
In invocation to prime evil - I am the chosen one
I choose the serpent's law
I choose black path of war!
Following Him, who clears the paths untrodden and gives us knowledge, it is worth considering, what reward shall I give unto him, for all the benefits that he hath done unto me?
The will of power is giving ability to see
with your word I`m here - Your follower, the devotee.
O Monad! O Father! Hear my prayer!
You`re the one, everlasting, who ascended above (the all)
O Monad! O Father! Hear my prayer!
Our souls - under your eyes and your arms.
(O Father)
In the beginning and the end
You was the marble salt in veins of god
For you, to do delight in sacrifice, I will do so.
Cleanse my flesh... cleanse my soul...
Come and see!
O Monad! O Father! Hear my prayer!
You`re the one, everlasting, who ascended above (the all)
O Monad! O Father! Hear my prayer!
Our souls - under your eye and your arms.
So many sins, so many innocence (we`re in your eyes)
So many sins, so many innocence (we`re under your arms)

Faith That Fades
08:07
|
|||
|
I believed, I felt and then cursed
Oh God, can you take away prosphora from my mouth?
Deity of forgiveness, the witness of the all
You are watching me from above
Falta de fe...
e o mal!
I am a fool among the ruins with faith that fades
This is what the eyes of ignorance will never be able to see
That wounds are obsolete and memories (are) so cold...
Closer to the fall
The candle burned out, when hands cracked down the cross. Neck that was bent in worship - has drowned in the knot.
But Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been His counselor?
Who has given so much to God, that God should repay him?
that God should repay him...
Metanoia
Faith, that fades
Loss... takes death`s shape
Strangers among their brothers, wounded by those they love, may the God accompany them so that their blind eyes and their ulcerated hands are a sign of reconciliation

Thy Light Returneth
05:59

We remember to whom do we belong
your faces are carved in stone
We bow our heads down
to You, archon of all
The one who kept a balance appeared to the men, they turned sight up to heaven and left their caves. A thousands years of wait, from above and below... for You - Bringer of light!
You returned to heaven!
The God-like Sun!
To appear to gates of perdition - fate only for few
Lives will be condemned, names - erased
With the "serpent`s" the "human" will merge
Giving the Devil his due!
O Lucifer! Give thy light to us
Share your light with us
Behold the secret signs
Move against yourselves
there will be no paths that will not be revealed
and then "the living" will beg...
What you will hear - deny!
Forget that you will see!
Circle of gnosis is closing
Mentor gives you a key
We remebember to whom do we belong
your faces are carved in stone
We bow our heads down
to You, archon of all
O Lucifer! Give thy light to us
Share thy light with us
You`re God-like Sun Who guides us the way
God-like Sun Who leads us the way
God-like Sun!

Gluttony of life - abysmal, like thousand flies in search of sweet.
From navel-cords that was cutted - to body shadows on gallows floors...
It swarming in wells, that by ourselves we poison
Thousand flies are climbing through neck
and are becoming the whole structure
End of the way is burdening by chalice of woe
Knowing nothing in wanderings in martyrdom
Your birth is vain, Human!
In grave you will surrender
Rivers were dead and quiescent
Taking children from mothers hands into their own abyss
with the rainfall their laugh you`ll hear
And birthgivers will recognize their atrocities
End of the way is burdening by chalice of woe
Knowing nothing in wanderings in martyrdom
Your birth is vain, Human!
In grave you will surrender
I surrender to the grave among bitter soil
I`m food for worms
and nothing remains unanswered

The Unspoken Curse
04:48
|
|||
|
Non of us will see the light, that surrounds us
No one feels it
Why can`t we see the light? Every time, why it is drowning?
Lack of time, of perception...
Another step aside from abyss, but getting closer to it
Since the stem broke through soil
he absorbed nectar of wither
When we all turn to grave
Then we understand
Existence - that is curse of man
That is curse of man!
How disgusting is life-waitings
How soft is the farewell
We all are the pallbearers for selves
Marching blindfolded into the own hell
Just a few seconds, between the birth
Just a few seconds between the birth and the last fracture
Since the stem broke through soil
he absorbed nectar of wither
When we all turn to grave
Then we understand
Existence - that is curse of man
That is curse of man!
Curse of man

These visions are in pact with the silence
This silence is in a dialog with self
These visions are paroxysmal
are drawing the abstract life, abstract death
Abstract life, abstract death!
Handmadegod is filling with its own substance, gnashing from inside with thorns, that tear apart like teeth.
Predictable...
The end of the flight
Like something alive wants to break away now
And there is no air to inhale, there is no air to breathe in
Thirst for unearhly pleasures
nests in conscious, throughout the pathetic life
This is the raison d'etre of man
But now the eyes are prevented from possibility of choice, for death has closed it.
Hold me (Throw down)
Take me - (The desolated)
I refused (I've chosen)
Abstract Life, Abstract Death
I'm lying (To myself)
I prayed (For nothing)
Leave me, kill me
Abstract Life, Abstract Death
Wounds-scars are wide opened
God accepts my offer
Wounds-scars are wide opened
God accepts my offer
Thirst for unearhly pleasures
nests in conscious, throughout the pathetic life
This is the raison d'etre of man
But now the eyes are prevented from possibility of choice, for death has closed it.

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.

Tvii Son, from the Ukraine, deliver marvelous blank wave: ice-cold synths and detached, spoken-word vocals. Minimalism at its finest.

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!!
