Unsettling Whispers (Black Metal) by GAEREA (Portugal), released 22 June 2018 1. Svn 2. Absent 3. Whispers 4. Lifeless Immortality 5. Extension to Nothingness 6. Cycle of Decay 7. Catharsis Gaerea have turned the genre of black metal on its head. While most rehash the classic sound, this Portuguese band take it forward and seamlessly integrate influences from other genres like hardcore and sludge

The first full-length album from this Portuguese band Gaerea arrives following their well-received EP and my word, what a release this is. From the atmospheric introduction to the explosion into Black Metal glory, strained and aggressive vocals create a multi-layered verbal attack over this speed-riddled combination of Death and Black Metal.

Unsettling Whispers opens with unsettling whispers and a delightfully dour buildup of brooding ambiance, walking a thin black line between Soothsayer and Zhrine as Svn coalesces into a seething state of violent euphoria with Ulcerate undertones, only for this fury expand further still into the somewhat more traditional blackness of Absent. This sense of ebb and flow is crucial to the album, utilized brilliantly between tracks as well as within the songs themselves. Perspectives and puns will vary, but it is almost certain that Gaerea have created the kind of album that clones are made of, if you wish to be on the right side of history you need to grab this one pretty much immediately.

Unsettling Whispers' is the much awaited full length album coming after their universally lauded self-titled EP. Transcending Obscurity Records will be putting it out on multiple formats with excellent packaging that includes gatefold LP, alternate artwork box set and 8-panel digipak with a 20-page booklet. Artful, stirring and deeply immersive, Gaerea are a band to watch out for. Their treatment of the music is not only meticulous but also unforgettable. GAEREA (Portugal) - Svn. Download.
