Enduring Molasses

There is a struggle you must endure. Way through the narrow path - strive to ensure your slow death. There is a promise that carries your fate. The breathe is enduring molasses. A vanity served, a slow death. Rites of passage will in time - send you there. Astral projection realized - take me there.

Clean the wound to feel alive. Went so deep I found a God inside. There's another one there below. Broken wings and blackened throne. Praise a God. Praise it all. Lo and behold, your only hope. Lo and behold; you're a God. Cleaned the wound and felt alive. Found a God and found a lie. Found salvation there below. A fallen son to cleanse the soul. Lo and behold, your only hope. Lo and behold; your God. All my life I have wasted time, I have sent my praise below.

Lives of Siddhartha exchanged for one. Breath of the Buddha, strength of our fates, In this deliverance, aligned from strife. It manifests. End of toil and struggle. Struggle on. All lives must end.

Arise royal son from privilege given. Pleasures of the flesh, towers golden. A weight to denounce, dethroned by will's own. Shelter of forest - true path taken. This matters not.

The Ascetic

These wasted days in an ascetic haze. Lay and meditate. Vain depreciates. Shame, holy shame. An eternal reign. Hailed ritual; shame ritual. Veil - a holiness unhinged. Shame - withered in hell that I made. Feast - accept the grains lent thee. Change - gathered in the shade of death.

This review is long overdue. This album right here is the album that finally pulled me out of the "commercial" music world and into the world of the raw, experimental, and sincere. An amalgamation of everything I love about post-metal and hardcore taken to a mathy, heavy, ambient extreme.

It is interesting to observe how Rosetta band is experimenting with its style and improving within every album. Great work!

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.

A luxuriant smorgasbord of Neurosis-esque post-metal songs inspired by delicious sandwiches...need we say more?

THE RAGING RIVER

The new album from Cult of Luna is full of the same epic, sweeping post-metal for which they've become known. Riffs & atmospherics abound.

PSA: if there was an album you heard a couple years ago and thought it was ok, listen to it again and you might love it. That's what happened to me with this album. I cannot fathom why it didn't stick with me back then. Same thing happened with Decoherence's Unitarity for that matter.
