Entranced by the Magick that constricts thy soul | Empowered by the Force of Draconis | Under the dark sky whence Ursa Major drowns | into the depths of the horizon | I call forth the Serpent | Under her Mighty Spell! | SARRATUM TIAMAT, Hail to thee! | For it is written, She will arise| From Seas of Fire, Dreaming of vengeance | Leviathan arise!| Entranced under the Serpentine spell | I am guided by her flame | Entranced by the serpentine stare | I see visions arcane | Descending from red skies| Ugalla demons, minions of KINGU| Exalt the Sign of Chaos |"And TIAMAT ascends from the depths below the seas, | for blood she rises | As it is written, 7 Angels with 7 seals flew across the sky | and the first who broketh the first seal upon those who wear the mark of TIAMAT | failed in impotence. |For the angel's magick of God | could not break the Serpentine Spell." |Flames the Dragon spit forth | smoldering feathers of angels wings |7 Angels of revelations falling | charred from Dragon fire |...and drowning in her seas | The elders are not watchful! Attack! |Those of the awakened rise up | onwards to Armageddon |Claim the Throne of our fate and lead the venom legions... | to a bloody victory|Entranced by the Magick that constricts thy soul |Empowered by the Force of Draconis |Under the dark sky whence Ursa Major drowns |into the depths of the horizon | I call forth the Serpent |Under her Mighty Spell! |Into a storm lit night, facing the West altar | I chant the conjuration of the path of the Everlasting | the shadowed path of the Vampyre |Under the Serpentine Spell |

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

Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long! Lukas Kaufmann
The Belgian band explore heavy psych, tribal rhythms, free-jazz freakouts, meditative drone and the vast, shadowy spaces in between. Bandcamp Album of the Day Jun 22, 2020
