The movements of the stars
As well as the order of the firmament
Cannot be overseen by the blind strength
Of the four Elements
The Principle of Harmony is by necessity
Beyond the somatic structure of the Cosmos
Even though it reveals its perfect framework
Only through the regular motions of the skies
If there were an ounce of nobility in the Immanence
It is nothing but the reflect of a superior work
Whose shape is of pure geometrical features
And the mover of which is of disembodied substance
Space is a numbers construct
In which the divine bodies are governed by timeless rules
An Orchestra of planets breathing
Whose opposite blows, are to fuse in stellar strains
Making the glowing borders throb
And at the center of the anthracite circle
Burns an undying fire
Like an igneous gem, round and (forever) blazing
Thousands of artisans have wrought the world
And everything they have achieved
Is eternally bound to the universal law of Arithmos
In every part of the Universe
The numbers are the key to knowledge
And the secret of existence

Pure and immaculate, the souls emanate
From the eighth sphere
The one of the fixed stars which move around the Orb,
Relentless and in unison: never they deviate
Slowly they descend towards the earth
To be united with matter
Once they reach the soil, they live the painful life of men
Chattels of an inner tyrant
But if they forget their celestial origin, and submit themselves to flesh
Everlastingly, they will stay fastened to their corporeal tomb
And seized by sin, like a slave in chains
Thousands of times, they will be reborn in their earthly prison
Mistreated by the violence of their cravings
And condemned to live without salvation
Hardly better than living corpses, they will crawl in scorching mud
Eaten by their own Demons
Until they fall in the abyss of Kthôn
Where a sleepless death awaits them
But if they succeed in staying straight and full of scorn
Towards their spiritual weakness
If they conquer lust’s disorders
They will return from whence they came
And thus, they will dwell ad perpetuum by the side of the Blissful
In the steams of the Empyrean Heaven

At the very Origin
A gleaming light illuminated the Earth
God filled his Creation with life
With the only command, not to be defied
He sent his Prophets to spread his Word
But the blindness of men
Has provoked the end
They drank the red lust-wine
Losing their insight for foolishness
And so they fell in torment
At first
The skies blew ice cold gusts of winds
Below the white sphere
A fiery hail drenched in bile
Struck the ground and crushed the fields
Fire consumed the air
And set the harvests ablaze
Then the water turned into blood
Before it flooded the Lands
And so we beheld the collapse of the old Churches
As the Seven Trumpets resounded
Locusts and scorpions submerged every town
Leaving them dryer than the mountains of Negev
Half the mortals expired
Beaten by the anger of the Merciless
Maggots and slugs, ate up human flesh
Leaving it limper than a snake without bones
Taken by the fever of a pestilence
Half the mortals expired
Worms emerged from corpses
Before they became ashes themselves
The sun disappeared behind a murky haze
Never to rise again
Thus the fury of the Holy Spirit filled the Creation
With death

Numbers Held Sovereignty

But as the humans failed to recognize
The demiurgic powers of Numbers
And invocated, instead, a Benevolent Father
They punished themselves
With the weight of servitude
And the burden of obedience
They forgot the original union
Of their bodies and of their souls
With the arithmetic constellation of the World
They placed their trust in a Lord
Who dwells in Zion
Pleased to obey his orders
And wretchedly trying to redeem themselves
They sank in pitch-black oblivion
And hanged the seven sages
Mortified their flesh
Only to enslave their own urges
They were apostles of a serpent
Wearing sheep’s masks
New Kings have arisen
On the Thrones of jasper
Then the Gospels spread
Together with laws of submission
Like a disease for which there is no cure
In every part of the Creation
God became the Keeper of Knowledge
And the Sovereign of Existence

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.

NONE a opéré un virage dans Where Life Should Be et ça se confirme davantage dans Damp Chill of Life. Le temps des métaphores est révolu : l'humidité froide, c'est celle des larmes qui coulent sur le visage à cause de la dépression. Tout pleure dans cet album : les guitares typées DSBM grésillent, les solos ("The Damp Chill of Life", "It's Painless To Let Go") sont liquides et coulent, les voix prennent à la gorge ; même le piano, étranglé par les sanglots ("Cease"), est aphone. Insoutenable...

A truly stellar death/doom album with heavy doses of black metal. Tracks like Isolation, Child of Light, and Broken Hymns deliver the sorrowful and icy tone of this album, elevated by the stirring cello compositions of Raphael Weinroth-Browne. The album delivers a deeply satisfying crescendo in Becoming Intangible before stirring the soul once again with Epilogue.
