Iron Lung
03:23
|
|||
|
Stimulate, pressurize, intoxicate
Assisted breathing, assisted living
fearful existence clinging to life
Take what is yours,
through pain and strife
We are the unmakers
Destructive by nature
Diggers of filth
We are the wasted and forlorn
What was seen has been now conquered
What was seen has now died
Iron lung
enclosed and looming
Iron lung
A coffin for what won’t die
Tolerate, terrorize, dominate
What is life but extending pain
Here is no truth not a single grain
For in hate we live, we preservate
Assimilate paralyze, immolate
For vanished hope
For diminished pride
Our future is bleak
For doom we ride

The Old Wind
05:01
|

|
There is a wind Blowing
Collecting dust as it goes
It has gathered speed without us knowing
From withering bones and death throes
Some they say we are not equals
But in death we’re all the same
We carry our burdens on a shared path
Walking towards unyielding flames
Corrupted by the priests of death
To cast down our brothers
To take from them their last breath
To do what we have learned from others
There is no original thought
There is no purity
Where is the wisdom we sought?
When we are led by insecurity
We build our walls ever higher
To forget what we once was
Confronted with truth yet we deny it
It is clear, there is no hope alas.

Absolute
04:42
|
|||
|
I shed the skin of culture
To rise above and beyond
I raise my hands to the sky
To be stricken down
Absolute violence
Absolute will
Absolute obeyance
Absolute evil
Our will must betray us
As we bleed the truth
Is there a future to fight for
I am not afraid to die
True evil among us
It corrodes the earth
In times like these I am not afraid to die

|
Steadfast in belief
Risen above the unlearned
Deceitful wisdom adorned
Like golden thorns in joy and grief
As it was, so shall it ever be
No truth so wrenched
As to open minds or eyes to see
Fruitless is the labour tolled in despair
Fool is he afraid to err
Proudly robed in ignorance
Higher! Arise the banners
with drab logos of misfortune
Higher! So all can see
We shape the world from rank breath
And as we create we consume
And our legacy shall bloom
Beyond the shadow of death

Tenebrae
03:51
|
|||
|
Walk in the light
Of a perpetual suicide
Where nothing gets better
And nothing stays the same
Leave all words unspoken
Leave all stones unturned
As darkness embrace
The world will burn
Through darkness
Through bitter winds
Through ashes walk
Till you find light
Find your solace
in distance traversed
Give in to darkness
From your origins diverge

A Name On Every Rope
04:43
|
|||
|
Search, and you will search in vain,
For a shred of heart or even pity
There is none but avarice
So search, and you will find pain
They feed on all our worries
They nourish on our hate
They’ll weigh you down in spirit
And they will rule your fate
For all papers start out blank
Some be writs of terror
Others with words of submission
But the ones written in blood are the ones that consume
For they have taken our future, our hope
If you search now for them in vain, know
You find them with your name on a rope

I Strid
05:55
|
|||
|
Når mørket senkes
over ære og heder
Og tillit byttes mot
Galle og eder
Da går vi inn i en ny epoke
Bort skal det frie,
Bort skal det kloke
For frihetens sjalusi
Gror i oss alle
Men ikke gi den plass
La den for døve ører falle
I strid, der forsvinner
Menneskets verd - men
Beskytt det med våpen
Ditt ord er ditt sverd
For når vår fremtid er truet
Av grådige men
Da må vi kjempe
Igjen og igjen!
Vi samles i motgang
Vi trives i strid
Når blodtåken letter - er
Refleksjonens tid
For menneskets aber
Og sinnets hybrid
I fred det er da
Vi dyrker splid

The Beginning At The End
04:34
|
|||
|
I, last generation of the pernicious,
the vicious
We who watched it rot And fall to the ground,
watched it burn
Where blood feed soil
Where the sea once boil’d
There is hope anew
Where hatred grew
For the price is paid
The path is laid
In treachery
And through debauchery

Extinction Rituals
04:51
|
|||
|
Through withered woods
And barren streams
Through filth and floods
A future gleams
For the era of mankind is ending
Cry out, despair in vain
As the world we wrought is breaking
For time and time again we see -
that our never ending greed -
Is satisfied through others need
Destruction is our trail
Our hands are violence
And misery It is our cloak

Nadir Oslo, Norway
Fast pased, melodic and aggressive, Nadir has its roots deep within Black Metal. But instead of resting on the genres past victories, Nadir sets out to explore the fringes with their take on a scene steeped in tradition. With members that all have put in years and years into the norwegian metal scene, and a will of fire, Nadir is poised to be at the forefront of a new wave of norwegian Metal ... 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.

What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music.

Heaviest thing I’ve heard all year along with Altarage. Okay I’ve been listening to this record for the past two weeks and it just gets better and better. Dissonant grooves galore

Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10
