| Within the whole of the world of black metal, thereÆs undoubtedly plenty |
| of exploration. Many bands explore the crevices and caverns that the style |
| encompasses, but few tend to pave their own paths, create a new cavern |
| themselves. Many tend to go with an already established style like |
| atmospheric or old-school black metal to satisfy their taste while playing |
| a sound that has already been accepted by listeners. Rarely do we see a |
| band that goes off on their own, but Gaerea dared to do so and in |
| isolation from the rest of the scene theyÆve created something truly |
| delicious. |
| |
| A common theme that I see in the modern black metal scene are bands that |
| are embodying the classic sound with distorted everything, riffs out the |
| ass, and a clear worship of classics like Burzum, Immortal, Mayhem, etc. |
| While thereÆs nothing wrong with that at all, sometimes I desire just a |
| little bit more. Where are the bands that dare to change things up and |
| really deliver a listen thatÆs as challenging to listen to as it is |
| rewarding? Even though they only had an EP from 2016 in the bag, Gaerea |
| felt ready to take up such a chalice with their debut full-length album, |
| and thereÆs no way on this fucking planet you couldÆve prepared me for |
| this monumental record. ôUnsettling Whispersö manages to maintain a solid, |
| massive core of undeniable black metal, but Gaerea is far from afraid to |
| introduce newer elements into the realm of black metal in order to create |
| a sonic blast of devastation that they can truly call their own. Bringing |
| in elements from styles like sludge and even hardcore of all things allows |
| ôUnsettling Whispersö to become truly organic in its dark fashion, and it |
| thus takes on a life of its own. The seven tracks never feel the same, |
| never repeat the same take, and come together beautifully to form a |
| rollercoaster of an album thatÆs equal parts stirring to the highest |
| degree, incredibly immersive, and unmistakable tantalizing to the very |
| end. And no matter what way you slice it, ôUnsettling Whispersö is a |
| record of very few others, and Gaerea fucking knows it with their |
| mysterious anonymity that surrounds the bandÆs identity. |
| |
| Each new listen of ôUnsettling Whispersö delivers something new and |
| ridiculously tasty for mere peons like us to eat up like itÆs no oneÆs |
| business. Portugal isnÆt exactly the black metal capital of the world, but |
| Gaerea makes a damn good case for the countryÆs underground scene. |
| ôUnsettling Whispersö is without a doubt an album that no black metal fan |
| should pass up, and if you want to be a part of one of the premier |
| experiences of the style weÆre likely to get all year then I highly |
| suggest you take a peek as to what Gaerea has created from the black void. |
