A sacrifice for the old lord.
A sacrifice for the gods.
Will it be a ram.
Will it be my first son.
Or will I sacrifice myself.
As long as I’m blessed I’m fine.
And I listen in the depth of the night.
And I listen to the words .
That are trancendental spoken.
And I hear the words.
They want me to sacrifice.
And they want me to prepare.
My own body.
And they want me to give.
Until nothing is left.
And this maniac voice inside my head.
I leads me, yes it leads me.
Right on the highest mountain.
So I can prepare my self.
Just for the one and only good.
And it leads me, yes it leads me.
Right to the stone altar.
And only the moon will be witness.
Of this tragedy.
Oh God take me, I’m yours .
Your one and only slave.
The one that worships till the end.
Oh god take everything.
„Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For on him God the Father has placed his seal of approval."
You hold me, you keep me.
The first words I recognize.
The first words inside my head.
Prepare your god.
Your one and only meal.
The last dish.
The last supper.
So I get all I need.
Cooker, Knifes, slicer, Pots, spoons, spieces and a saw.
And of curse the meat.
Me, the meat.
The first thing to prepare.
I Wash my feet.
Like the father did it.
Like he washes the beggars feet.
I wash mine.
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
The atmosphere of this album is fantastic. Makes you feel like you're knee-deep in the trenches drenched in mud, filth, sweat, and blood. Truly encapsulates the horrors of World War I, and the fact that the lyrics of some of the songs are taken from old war letters really adds to the authenticity.

Suffocating black metal in the Swedish style that mercifully throws in a bit of melody to save the listener from total darkness. Bandcamp New & Notable Jun 29, 2017
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
