Dome of Stars

The starlight now asunder,
and the earth, his flesh,
and the sea, his blood.
The sky is broken.
Stark and real are those burial mounds,
cairns of lichen and bone.
Ash grows
through the rubble of our names.
In the likeness of beauty
we find solace in the emptiness.
Our fate-threads hanging down
but we cannot ever find them.
The Norns do not weep
for those gleeful or suffering.
Fate goes as she shall
beneath the dome of stars.

Idol of Atrocity
03:39
|

|
Prayers spoken to the air
on pillars of isolation
life gathers around fires
burning.
Priests light a torch of water
and all of those in desperation
warm their hands
in the atrocity.
A stool in the cosmos,
there it sits.
Extinguished sun-gaze,
the idol above red smoke.
Alone in the cosmos,
there it sits.
Extinguished sun-gaze,
the idol above red smoke.
Without purpose
or beauty.

In these ancient woods
I am a moment,
a blink of an eye,
a thought vagrant.
Their shade casts through
a thousand lives of man.
Decadence and sorrow,
arrogance and extinction.
Their blood, running thick,
running slow, over our feeble hands.
When they die, they die for years
in silence and decay.
Shadows in the shapes of gods.

Evergreen Sphere

|

Rain is falling
against my brow.
The earth is crawling
out from under me.
She asks me,
"Do the eyes glimmer
on the ones you've loved
in the light of your pyre now?"

False is awesome, whether they'll writing long or short songs. They know how to harness intensity, and power.

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.

Resonance: Crimson Void
by Mare Cognitum / Aureole
supported by 12 fans who also own “LORE”
Some of the best cosmic black metal I've heard. Mare Cognitum continues to prove themselves to be masters of crafting a vast, celstial soundscape, and the Lovecraft-esque atmosphere present throughout Aureole's half definitely made me want to check out the rest of their discography.
