Bearer of Light!
Noble above all
Whom once they called
“The true son of God“
Once thy pride was thy virtue
And thy ambition was just
Celestial poets sang of you
Where now weak innocence rusts
Every angel looked up to thee
For the beauty and the idea you held
The idea of perfection gave birth to energy
In a sphere which of stagnancy smelt
Do ye recall the day when the bells of war rang?
“A third of Heaven” they say “along with Lucifer sang
Of most dire deeds.”
And the hour when hordes of Belial schorched the land
Of Heavens’ Utopia and no one could withstand
As thy rage feeds.
You claimed thyself a chosen newborn king
And we ruined Heaven’s outer ring –
The halls of slavery
We rejoiced as Michaels legions fell
We conquered, and though we fought well
We couldn’t defeat Gods’ mastery
Truly no angel could resist thy power
And we all hoped for triumph until the hour
When God stroke back
Where honor fails, there treachery wins
The act of God cast all of your kings
To the burning lake
Lo!
What was true is now false
And what was false is now true
So lift yer eyes and see the Emperor azure-blue!
Elysium bursts with fire
And the celestial plains are cold
As the Lightbearer storms higher –
What a sight to behold!
Stop! I’ve seen your thoughts
Another bonds
Free yourself
– Apprentice –
Now – Do what thou wilt
That what thou felt
And ye shall win
– Master –
“Shit – is that what you are
You won’t get far
From me“
– Grandmaster –
And – those who that say
Thou shall not obey
And you’ll be
– Emperor –
Let blood flow to my name!
There are no gods
Nor Deities powerful
So bow not to odds
Or lies so wonderful
Which brainwash ye fast
Rise like Samael
Who from the Heavens flies
To stampede Gabriel
And trample the lies
With a mighty stormblast
Defy all those who against ye fought
And filthy religions which only brought
Hate, ruin and terror
Find wisdom in scrolls of luciferian
Where in every liberated soul dwells an
Lightbearer Emperor
“The mind is its own place, and in itself
Can make a Heav’n of Hell, a Hell of Heav’n.”
– John Milton, Paradise Lost, I, 254–255

A record of wave-like production and washing, encompassing guitar riffs. It's criminal this hasn't gotten further reach, but it's well worth the purchase. Brett (Lascaille's Shroud / Soulmass)

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
