lyrics
Overflowing with an absence of will
And thus, I am defined
It's no great marvel that lost men
Stood beneath skies torn by gaudy starlight
And shrank under the weight of the infinite
That they gave that nothingness a name
And fell to their knees before its might to worship it
The tyrannical, uncaring personification of the void.
Burdened by freedom
They constructed their own prison and damned their descendants to
eternal interment.
And I am like them
A coward before the vastness of nothingness
Crippled by the mocking sting of guilt
Dragged down by the burning expanse of emptiness that weights in us all
Consumed by it, I've watched meaning slowly tortured until it
becomes meaningless in itself
A twisted relic from an incomprehensible past.
The only true defeat is surrender
The only true death is submission
There are no martyrs here
Ours is the path of endless struggle
The only true defeat is surrender
The only true death if submission
There are no martyrs here
Ours is the path of bitter rage
The only true defeat is surrender
The only true death is submission
There are no martyrs here
Ours is the path of burning sorrow

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

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

La traversée du désert n'aura pas duré quarante jours mais quatre longues années...
Avec Панихида, Батюшка renaît enfin de ses cendres et, bien que désormais seul (ou plus exactement entouré de deux chanteurs), Христофор accomplit un miracle. Il s'inscrit dans la continuité de Литоургиiа avec un black metal orthodoxe qui nous convie ici à une cérémonie dédiée aux morts. Sa vision est englobante : les mélodies, la gravité et le silence font toucher le paradis ; l'agressivité est luciférienne. Jordan Vauvert
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
