She whispered
“Climb up the hill”
“I lay too ill”
Answered her call
It was autumn
The start of fall
Reluctant steps she tread
Through mountainside
For water she’d been sent
From the greater height
Instilled by a vow that lead
Far off from the riverbed
By will of her guardian
A task so quotidian
Slaved her way up against the incline
Guided by hymns of surrounding pine
Rust-coloured leaves dancing by her side
She found the well in a view so bright
In teal
Held there in awe
And so she saw
Some mountains were never meant to be moved at all
It was autumn
The start of fall
The start of her fall
When it comes to the "atmosphere" in "atmospheric black metal", this release probably succeeds the most in making me feel like i exist within this universe of music. domfabio
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
