Oslo-based infernal duo making some really great Norwegian black metal, yet they vary their style in this recent release quite a lot. "Iron Beast" is fierce, violent BM, super-fast, while "Prestehammeren" starts with an air-raid alarm followed immediately by what could sound like a Slayer cover, awesome! "Surtr" is a Dissection tribute sounding like "Storm of the Light's Bane" to tell how varied this album is. Awesome from begin to end, highly recommended!!! sachavonkarl74

Pretty much the best Black/Speed Metal I've listened to since I learned about Evil Invaders and Vulture. Everything you'd love to be reminded of about this musical era is there. The influences are what you'd expect too: Motörhead, Venom, Bathory, early Slayer, Celtic Frost; aggressive vocals, tortured guitar solos, pounding drums; everything is fast, clear and still a little grimy, but without reverb cranked up to the max. Amazing band, amazing album. Odiumediae

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
