A brief sense of purpose to be drowned in abstraction
Inculcation through blood
As ideology dissolves in the dullest illumination
An archetype of grief
Synapses chafe and callous from running in circles.
The staticy hiss of self-projection
A feedback loop of spoon-fed identity
The crooked gouging of a charlatan's epitaph
A vast expanse of concrete and mud, painted in gold and stinking of shit
The swamp of the ego
The alter of futility and human extinction
No tail left to swallow
A philosopher's rant and the screeching of jackals
Half trick and lure, half vain expression
An apothecary for half-wits and mummers
A threadbare stage constructed of one's own feathers
Synapses chafe and callous from running in circles.
The staticy hiss of self-projection
A feedback loop of spoon-fed identity
The crooked gouging of a charlatan's epitaph
So let us chant these words as if they were our own
As we struggle to chisel our effigy into pillars of ash
So let us huff the fumes of methane and sulfur
As we remind ourselves that we all "did our best"

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu

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 album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel. Metallurgical Fire

An outstanding Extreme doom death album, in the best tradition. The funerary atmosphere reminds of Evoken ('Centuries of ooze" bears striking similarities, for my delight). It is overall sharp, dark, hypnotic and unrelenting. One of those rare convincing new bands that hold proud the legacy of the biggest names. Bertrand Marchal
