Death Comes First

It’s the last time
I’m closing my eyes
Eternal night
Is now at hand
The sun is cursed
And the sky is rust
And time to reap
The harvest of all my sins is must
The spring of life
Shall find it’s end
But a blessing or curse
Or a relentless scary place
Are the Hollow lands
Of despair and agony
Where my life-sick heart
Shall greet DEVOURING DEATH
Devouring
Death
Comes
First!

Into Darker Serenity

Beyond the veil of reasoning and doubt
In mourning dew I stand the pit of agony
Dawn of blessed indifference raises before my eyes
Epitome of mankind’s sleepless slumber
In the cold grip of extinction your testament laid pale
Solitary fall and noxious chants of sacred lunacy
Wounds of voiceless assent engraving the woeful stigma
Abandonment of self dissolves in mist of oblivion
Shall I face alone this ceaseless burden
With weary mind fading in obscurity
Among the damned, all borne by death away
My soul was captive, but refused to be slave
In the cold grip of extinction your testament laid pale
Solitary fall and noxious chants of sacred lunacy
Wounds of voiceless assent engraving the woeful stigma
Abandonment of self dissolves in mist of oblivion

Sacrilege
05:19
|
|
||
|
At the end of a life not yet lived
Soul is searching for the new light
From the deepest abyss risen within us
Still we gaze to stars but anguish remains
We sang the burial songs through chaos and eternal night
We sang (the) downfall of mind through words of deceitful wisdom
Reflections of inner emptiness
Blessed by ignorance or ignored by blessing
Redemption through lies, a masterpiece of suffering
Tied in chains of venomous enlightenment
Defaced, oblivious we exist devoted to death
We sang the burial songs through chaos and eternal night
We sang (the) downfall of mind through words of deceitful wisdom
Reflections of inner emptiness
Wretched holiness engraves the scars of fallacy
Erosive psalms of salvation sever the minds (apart)
(We are) kneeling before divinity, remnants of (illusive) faith
(And we are) descending into the pit of abhorrent lie…

In swollen clouds cleaving the dark sky
A shadow of doubt arose,
Sharp and leaping, serenity from darkness
Eternal damnation or tormenting redemption
Void of mind's fragility, the truth lies hidden
Beneath the sacred words of light, the sacred words of light
Shining with the aura of martyrdom, reaching it's crippled arms
To light the pyres of tempest, the pyres of tempest
Void of mind's fragility, the truth lies hidden
Beneath the sacred words of light, the sacred words of light
Shining with the aura of martyrdom, reaching it's crippled arms
To light the pyres of tempest, the pyres of tempest
Transience of life shall reveal (itself its secrets) to the blindfold
Through divine power of omniscience
The swart wilderness of spiritual ascension
Concealed in scars of souls revelation
Void of mind's fragility, the truth lies hidden
Beneath the sacred words of light, the sacred words of light
Shining with the aura of martyrdom, reaching it's crippled arms
To light the pyres of tempest, the pyres of tempest
Void of mind's fragility, the truth lies hidden
Beneath the sacred words of light, the sacred words of light
Shining with the aura of martyrdom, reaching it's crippled arms
To light the pyres of tempest, the pyres of tempest
Void of mind
Words of light
Aura of martyrdom
Pyres of tempest

Nether
06:08
|
|

|
Vast cold sepulchral darkness
Plague of fear upon men
Deception of what is free will
Enslaving the idea of being
Through the eyes of sacred blindness
Within a light of thousand flames
Existence perished in decay
Beyond the veil of unfolding madness
Descend into the abyss of mind
The withering world revealed
Come forth embrace your fall
Bear the burden of fate’s reverse
Cast into tenebrous void of emptiness
With ominous cries witnessing life’s decline
Floating… Nether…
Cast into tenebrous void of emptiness
With ominous cries witnessing life’s decline
Floating… Nether…

The Fall
05:55
|
|
||
|
Surrender mankind
To the lunacy of dreams
In feebleness
The shelter of faith dissolves
In desolate tombs
Wisdom and daring wither to dust
Wretchedness of grace
Unveils the fragile nature of bliss
Poison of doubt
Permeates this woebegone life
Shade over shade
Lies upon the seed of being
We tore our lives to pieces
Pieces of soul’s shattered glass
We buried our dreams to dust
With ashes that left the weakness arose
(The fall)
Grace of Man or a failure of God
(The fall)
An image of fractured delusive peace
(The fall)
In lucid conflict existence collapsed
(The fall)
Through tremors in faith or denial of “truth”
(The fall)
Atonement of soul through your idol’s blood
(The fall)
Downfall of hope though the spiral of dread
(The fall)
Flames of reluctance enlighten the self
(The fall)
So shall the world go on…

The Hollow Men
06:22
|
|
||
|
In a spiral of chaotic ordeal, soreness of life prevails
Essence of hope becomes feeble, reality becomes unreal
Shattered, shapeless forms, the entropy of soul
Devoured in wholeness of vanity, spirits of the hollow men
Let them coming closer, harmed by ascending timelessness
Let them drawn in chasm, amidst the wasteland of illusion
Carrying their burden, appalling mantle of bleakness
Wrapping their hope, the hope of hollow men
We are the hollow men
Born of chaotic ordeal
Shattered, shapeless forms
Devoured in wholeness of vanity
We are the hollow men
The entropy of soul
Appalling mantle of bleakness
Shattered, shapeless forms
And our vulnerable world shall crumble
Paralyzed in baneful antrum

Scars Of Seclusion
07:13
|
|
||
|
The breath of failure upon our face
Dressed in divine darkness
Pillars of “hope” drape ourselves
Pillars of “faith” corrode our senses
Centuries of loss, oblivion and decay
And eyes staring in lifeless future
Disdained presence, suppressed in fractured consciousness
Alone we tremble prevailed by gloom
Imprisoned by words of disillusion
Pieces of shattered glass, reflection of a blinding sun
As remnants of despair we shall arise
Calling out for truth we shall arise
Scars of seclusion, wounds of instinct
Embedded in stagnant, worthless reality
They sit alone at the edge of reason
As the time of will’s collapse draws near
We raise our hands towards the starless heavens
Standing at the threshold of life’s futility
(And yet) In your scornful dogma we shall seek no shelter
Embrace the curse of your paltry creature:
BEHOLD THE BIRTH OF DOUBT!!!
Imprisoned by words of disillusion
Pieces of shattered glass, reflection of a blinding sun
As remnants of despair we shall arise
Calling out for truth we shall arise

Reliquae

Lost in timeless frail hopes
Dazzled in the glow of feeble words
Sunk in a world formed in endless deception
Drown in vestiges of timeless desolation
Yet in streams of oppression and gloom
On the amorphous limbo between wisdom and impugn
Life-stricken, jaded and yet incessantly opposing
I shall curse the stillborn deceiving horizon
I am the remnant amongst ashes of litany
A relic beneath the leaden skies of distrust
A perpetual vortex, a soul in anguish and perdition
Discordant with axioms of creed
Yet in streams of oppression and gloom
On the amorphous limbo between wisdom and impugn
Life-stricken, jaded and yet incessantly opposing
I shall curse the stillborn deceiving horizon
Grits of revolt against crooked ideologies
They shall form the desert of their demise
They shall be the herald of a new dawn
A relic brightening the pursuit of truth

Aletheia
06:51
|
|
||
|
With restless heart
I cast a glance
Towards a light
The light that binds
Harbinger of deceit
Crowned in agony
Chanting thy name
Bearer of depravity/taint
A monument of bliss, a monument of misery
Architecture of bewilderment
You who you are and yet do not exist
I summon thee, grant me light
Light of thousand suns, welcome my demise
Dissolve my sins, my fears, my pain
From dust and ash I shall arise
Dormant for lies, awaken, unburden
Yet lost into
Barren lands
Lands of shattered will
Condemned to wail
In utter delusion
Mute in “godlike” silence
Am I lost and bound
Never to defy
I will have no fear
And no peace of mind
Before this dread
Bearing ruination
I will embrace my torment
I will watch it flow through me
And when it leaves my side
I will turn my gaze upon its path
When the storm has passed
The void will crumble
Only I will remain
My new self will rise

Dimholt Burgas, Bulgaria
Dimholt was formed by Woundheir (vocals) and Asen (guitars) in 2003. The band remains a duo until 2005 but then plans change as they start looking for full-time members in order to continue. Soon after that Rumen (guitars) joins the band. A few months later Dimholt finds a full-time bass player, Yavor. In the fall of 2006 they start actual rehearsing with Stanimir who later becomes their drummer. ... more

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.

The first 30 seconds of "Revenge by Fire" convinced me to get the whole album! It is a face-melting blend of speed and black metal, reminiscent of Hellripper! KVAEN is a Swedish solo project much like Hellripper but many known guest musicians helped J. Björnfot in his endeavor. Altogether it is really a solid debut album, I loved the melodies and the pace changes in the second half too, ending with a "calm" instrumental one. Well-done!!
