The Grotto
from Through the False Narrows by Liminal Shroud
lyrics
I hear the call; the spectral voice of the sea
I heed the call; traverse the low-tide path
To the grotto’s mouth; beyond the water’s edge
To the barrier; between this world and the next
Step by step, these weary pilgrim’s feet
Draw ever closer to the precipice of my defeat
Flee man’s reality
To seek refuge
In the embrace of earth
The bramble draws me in
Chasing remnants of distant, weary light
Sharp, dead horizon; the wisp’s luminescence
Take now this offering, left upon the soil
Take now these weary bones, I slowly slip away
Upturned roots now shift
Into chaotic forms
Branches strangling
Merciless as the depths
From which we emerge
And now shall return
Malignant blackened waves
Carry me onwards
I heed the call; traverse the low-tide path
To the grotto’s mouth; beyond the water’s edge
To the barrier; between this world and the next
Step by step, these weary pilgrim’s feet
Draw ever closer to the precipice of my defeat
Flee man’s reality
To seek refuge
In the embrace of earth
The bramble draws me in
Chasing remnants of distant, weary light
Sharp, dead horizon; the wisp’s luminescence
Take now this offering, left upon the soil
Take now these weary bones, I slowly slip away
Upturned roots now shift
Into chaotic forms
Branches strangling
Merciless as the depths
From which we emerge
And now shall return
Malignant blackened waves
Carry me onwards

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

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...
