Black Vortex

|

It's time to bid farewell
To close last chapter forever
Plunge into the black vortex
Get carried by the stream
In a piercing cold foam
To find soothing peace
It's time to bid farewell
To close my eyes forever
To plunge into the black vortex
And let it take me inside
To be carried by the waves to
The greatest possible solitude
Turning faster and faster
Remember all the victims
And the faces of loved ones
I am ready for my last trip
The time of palliation has already passed
Blood coagulated with holy awe
The time of total settlement has come

Black Spark
04:08
|
|
||
|
Laziness, pride, greed
Spread on the greasy pavement
The age of man falls into oblivion
Human thinking is blurred
Breathe in the pestilential air
And feel the blood changing into black spark
In a blissful drinking spree
Spit your soul out on the altar
Watch the newborn god
Pay him a tribute
The nearest future is not for us
Time to understand
I saw them dying
During the ritual of the fading sun
I saw them as they cool down
In the shine of the eternal moon
Darkness covers the ruins
Cleansing the air from oxygen
In the void it finds beauty
It constructs life on earth
Watch the newborn god
Pay him a tribute
The nearest future is not for ours
Time to reconcile it

We Are Mortal
03:16
|
|

|
With greedy madness you strip the wretch
Deprive him of his dignity
Greedy you are waiting in the shadow
Looking for the flash in the darkness
Relentless
Predators
The emperors of poverty
Of the ruins and barren lands
You drawl the words
Gibberish emanates from your mouths
Knowledge is nothing for you
A noble deed does not count for you
Relentless
Predators
The emperors of poverty
Of the ruins and barren lands
In one respect
We are equal
Executioners, victims and observers
We are mortal
(We are nothing)

Shed My Skin
04:27
|
|
||
|
I shed my skin every night
Wetting my throat with Vodka
I awake primitive desires
I crave...
Lost in my own self
Walking the thick black fog
Detached from my own mind
I am dying slowly
I entwine my body with the snake
It caresses me, bites and and strangles
I drown in delight
I am alive
Lost in my own self
Walking the thick black fog
Detached from my own mind
I am dying slowly
(I shed her skin
Wet and slippery from sweat
My soul loathes returning
and leaves me)
Burnt with shame
A pathetic wreck
Crying for mercy
A dying addict

The Beckoning Silence
03:24
|
|
||
|
When I wake up memories
I don't feel the repulsive stench
I don't see the bugs melting in the bile
And this is what you are now
I feel the silence breath
When I beckon you
I feel the silence kissing me
When I beckon you
When I wake up your body
I feel it's more alive than ever
I Almost hear the voice of your heart?
Although you are a memory
I feel the silence breath
When and beckon you
I feel the silence kissing me
When and beckon you
Once I buried my last chance
For honesty in the grave

The Last Feast
04:21
|
|
||
|
There are no reasons to stay alive?
There are no reasons to procreate?
There are no reasons to build and destroy?
Infinite nonsense
The time of the eternal feast has come
The worms clattered in the corpse
They will devour carcass to the last bone
To grow and multiply and ravage on
There are no reasons to stay alive?
There are no reasons to procreate?
There are no reasons to build and destroy?
Venom is dripping from the disgusting mouths
Boiling blood bursts the arteries
Maggots fight for the last piece
To grow and multiply and ravage on
I want death!
Only the persistent will do HIS labor

Cleansing By Fire
03:53
|
|
||
|
The specter of death has hung above me
Entwined with a thin strand
That shall never be cut
Will I be able to return?
After the dance with the tongues of fire
Will the boiling caldron cleanse me?
In search of my own god
I haven't submitted to the majesty of nature
The quintessence of being
Pride and indulgence
Made me ugly
As a poet a philosopher and a human
Burn!
Let the flame
Consume my soul completely
Cleansing by fire
for the filthiest races
Let annihilation be mercy
Cleansing by fire
for the most greedy ones
Let the world
Be free from us
Burnt at the stake
Will never return
Cleansing by fire
for the filthiest races
Let annihilation be mercy
Burnt at the stake
will never return

The Goddess of The World
04:06
|
|
||
|
I adore this moment
When death becomes tangible
When I can look into
The eyes of a dying man
I feel stronger
When another friend passes away
Piercing, paralysing frost
Is my best companion
At the mercy of the goddess of the world
I am traversing boundless whiteness
The illusion of immorality
Becomes more and more tangible
I shall not withdraw even though
I know I am treading on the thin ice
The fragility of my existence
Is worthy of testing
Is worthy of sacrifice
I would like to deceive time
Cross the threshold of pain
Endure next few hours
Reach the extremum and survive

Oblivion
06:03
|
|
||
|
I’ve found my mountain
Cave, in which I want to pass away
I’ll take my secrets to the tomb
And bequest my flesh to the stars
To pay homage to mother nature
Who gave me life, inspiration
I’ll deny everything holy
To die with pride
In oblivion find myself
I’d like to fade right now
But I know that waiting is the privilege
Staying to the end in the right mind
Is a recompense for torment
And the gate to eternity

Mikolaj is a real multi-talent in bass as well as guitar as well as vocals and "Darkside" Maciej's drumming is a well-calibrated 100th-of-seconds-clockwork. Not for nothing is Mgla considered as a standard for a lot of other blacker-than-black metal bands. I hope to see this band live once.....

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.

Söngvar elds og óreiðu
by Misþyrming
supported by 10 fans who also own “Black Vortex”
Swirling guitars, furious drums, vocals that at the same time howl from infinite distance and are right up in your head; everything put into dissonant form with the help of unconventional songwriting. This album is my personal key to the icelanding black metal madness that I've ignored for way too long!
