on the evening of the dust
we set afloat our dead
the water tugged at your hair
and the river took you home
illuminate
my compound eyes
and
shine my carapace
descend lickspittle overmen
with rickets in their bones
ether in their chests
and verses of the tongue
indifferent as the stones
indifferent as the sun
ocean beats
the rhythm i need to breathe
ebb and tide
marching leg flute time
she hatched her babies inside a host
with a skin to beat and a wrist to flick
descend yesman underlings
hands into the pockets of the dead
blessings of a kingly king
bellies in the dirt
thumb-screw ties
the one-eyed and the blind
while a black maria keeps
a cure
beneath her feet
but herod and the monkey men
tied a noose of golden trim
my coward son came home a sage
with concubines.
and pineal eyes.

lady of the wheel
mistress with a skin to wear
intestines on the left
coinage on the side
and jimson of the weeds
with logic up her sleeves
feral siblings in a neck of the woods
mother's eyes from a hutch the woods
a brother with the shape of my son
become a home to the insects
sexless vessels become us
constellations sighed
apparatus fuckingly sublime
jack of spades
had a rib to spare
bifurcaria
bifurcata
the plants accept my gift
a cudgel to the knees.
monthly moons to count
cavities to mount
itch of the ants
on the palms of my hands
strangers and cowards
in back wards with reptiles
and black lights that throb knowingly

lizzard with the sight
told tales to its kind
memorise
the patterns on your side
opening the mouth had
yellow ribbons tied
weigh that phantom limb
mementos of
archipelagos
leave
a self
for a foot of clubs
the vestigial
for the unperishable
in my mouth i keep a fare
but my hands hold on to all that's new
and on the morning of the stars
i climb outside and grasp the night
old skin shed
in dawn of light

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.

I'd say Havukruunu is the rightful holder of the Crown and the mantle of Quorthon. Epic choirs, vikingesque themes and tales from the other times, of the Finnish paganism back in the days before our ancestors were brought to the cross and forced to kneel while feeling the bloody sword of saviour on their throats made to kiss the hand of murderers who burnt thousands, tore down our holy places and took our holy days. Eyes teary I listen to these songs, never forgiving the crimes of the cross!

I dig this album so much, definitely a keeper. Subtly and masterfully mixing death metal subgenres, backed with an over the top production. They're true professionals. Can't wait for their next release!

Listening to this on shrooms was haunting, which made it into a serious trip! Which was a mistake I was not prepared for. I do have something to say about it though on why I think it such. I have personally experienced several tipi ceremonies. One would stay up through the night, consuming peyote, doing in some sense a molting process and does so by connecting you to the spirit world. This album does this, but different - I say it transcends that experience, and does it well... On shrooms.
