lyrics
Purge my eyes of what I’ve seen.
Return the sword and gloried shield, the pulsating heart that serves the river of blood, the spirit’s breath, the light of the sun.
Give me light, take my vision so I can see.
Deliver me from the darkness, shelter me, take my eyes, so I can see the light awaken me.
This path I walk alone was bathed in light forevermore, when I believed he could see me.
This path I walk alone was bathed in light forevermore, when I believed he was with me.
Holy elixir to drown my sorrow, permeate these scars, these fractures inside me.
Return the sword and gloried shield, the pulsating heart that serves the river of blood, the spirit’s breath, the light of the sun.
Give me light, take my vision so I can see.
Deliver me from the darkness, shelter me, take my eyes, so I can see the light awaken me.
This path I walk alone was bathed in light forevermore, when I believed he could see me.
This path I walk alone was bathed in light forevermore, when I believed he was with me.
Holy elixir to drown my sorrow, permeate these scars, these fractures inside me.

Teethed Glory & Injury
by ALTAR OF PLAGUESA band I unfortunately didn't get to see live. More electronic influences than "Mammal" are incorporated seamlessly. Burnt Year features one of the most harrowing moments in music I've ever heard.
go to album -
Probably my favourite band that are lumped into the "djent" movement (bar Meshuggah, but who really counts them). The Didact is extremely ambitious, and it actually deserves the "Progressive" tag.
go to album -
Probably my favourite metal album if I had to pick just 1. The album is extremely well written from start to finish and the technicality never comes off as forced. Just go listen to it

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.
