"It thunders and rumbles, jolts and pounds, stomps and moans. The physical impact is powerful, the atmosphere bitter and chilly. The lead-guitar accents, which have a bright tone that contrasts with the titanic weight of everything else, give us one changing experience after another, yet all of them seem to channel forms of sorrow in piercing, soulful, and beguiling ways. The vibrant flickering and gleaming melody that surfaces near the end is especially gripping, and the wistful acoustic guitar performance which follows it makes for a beautiful finale. Fantastic song." - No Clean Singing

The dissonant bleakness of the first track is less weird and more hypnotic than on the second track. That's why I like it a little more. But both songs together make for an extraordinary experience and a journey to the arhythmically beating heart of darkness. mourner

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
