A Hollow Visage
from Through the False Narrows by Liminal Shroud
lyrics
Enter, these weary waters
Too long they’ve beaten the earth –
Never to bring peace again
Embittered, spiteful foam
To wander, to be carried forth
As dead carrion wash ashore –
No purpose, no flight, no instinct
As they submit to cold malignance
What moved now lies still
What loved now is dead
I pray not for redemption
I pray for nothing at all
For what decrepit vision of god
Made in imperfect countenance
Could atone for such failed creatures
Made of ash – made of weakness?
Swept away to distant waters...
To fail to secure hedonistic want does not true failure make
To endure, to breathe when breathing stings is our calling – our purpose
So here, at these rocks, taste bitter defeat and know this is not the end
Inevitable sharp rocks cut deep and takes my broken words
A sermon to true existence
A curse to the bestial soul
To endure, to breathe
Look to the ocean – knowing not what comes or
What was and only – only what is true
Take these ashes – take these dreams of worlds to come
Only self remains – only what is true
Too long they’ve beaten the earth –
Never to bring peace again
Embittered, spiteful foam
To wander, to be carried forth
As dead carrion wash ashore –
No purpose, no flight, no instinct
As they submit to cold malignance
What moved now lies still
What loved now is dead
I pray not for redemption
I pray for nothing at all
For what decrepit vision of god
Made in imperfect countenance
Could atone for such failed creatures
Made of ash – made of weakness?
Swept away to distant waters...
To fail to secure hedonistic want does not true failure make
To endure, to breathe when breathing stings is our calling – our purpose
So here, at these rocks, taste bitter defeat and know this is not the end
Inevitable sharp rocks cut deep and takes my broken words
A sermon to true existence
A curse to the bestial soul
To endure, to breathe
Look to the ocean – knowing not what comes or
What was and only – only what is true
Take these ashes – take these dreams of worlds to come
Only self remains – only what is true

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.

Söngvar elds og óreiðu
by Misþyrmingsupported by 59 fans who also own “A Hollow Visage”
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!

Suffocating black metal in the Swedish style that mercifully throws in a bit of melody to save the listener from total darkness.

I listen to a lot of depressive and dark music, and I have to say this album hits hard. Very hard...
