lyrics

To become an instrument
Of another’s disdain
To have fooled the world
And causing others pain
Lacking your own vision
Completely without imagination
A tool of a charlatan
Into a hole of ruination
The endless pit of self - loathing
Made whole by another’s despair
The cycle of ceaseless loneliness
And pure malignity laid bare
This is what you stood for
To spread your sacred misery
All are held hostage by it
So you can declare victory
The righteous quest for purity
Derided in what you never achieved
Unearned pride in myths proven false
Then claim the right to be aggrieved
Besieged by a pointless devotion
To one’s own ethnicity
When there is nothing special about you
You must feign authenticity
You value nothing beyond
Your empty desire for validation
Your unfulfilled uselessness
An inadequate and deadly fixation

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

Unsettling Whispers
by GAEREA

supported by 15 fans who also own “Embracing Oblivion”

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
