"Perish, inferior vermin!"
His gaze imminent to the south
Futile Tatarian blood will not suffice
Roam! Wreak ail, havoc, subjugate defiers
Let none bereave your ever germinating might
From the plains of Delüün Boldog to the mighty Khwarezmian forts
Your empire shall stand supreme - to erect the seal of worldwide reign
Be apprised to behold the malignancy of the great Khan!
The wall - adamant, rigid, harboring the kingdom beyond
Yet so unable to shelter their piteous lives as they circumvent it
Following the path along the grand impediment
Laced traps were concealed beneath the impending hordes
Faced with a throng of soldiers, putrid and corrupt
Who's fealty was as staunch as a hired force could be
Fierce pillaging and utter supremacy. The purge through salt and flame.
As embers fade into empyrean futility, dusk abates before atrophy descends.
And the fall of the metropolis dawns
With accommodation from their own treachery
A mighty dynasty elapses. __________________________
Storming into the attenuated fortress
Grace was utterly absent in rage
Slippery streets of humanly fat
A paragon made in aversion and dread
From whence the genesis comest in ire
Shall the worldwide domain tremble ablaze
Khwarezmian citadels crushed
Beneath fierce reprisal
A fraction of Ghengis's legion was sent
To survey the gallantry of the west
Yet meager defiance was shown
Thus sealing the kismet of realms beyond
What heinous atrocities he couldn't achieve
Throughout the era of his tellurian reign
His son would later attain
In otiose yearning nothing can thrive
He attempts to halter the carnal cycle
Though to no avail
For the great misfortune of human asinity resumes and nothing is reshaped

I never cared about symphonic metal at all. I do very much care about folk as well as progressive metal, and so I couldn't resist after reading the third exceptional AMG review for Wilderun in a row. 'Sleep...' has been on my radar for quite some time, being graced by one of the most beckoning cover arts I have ever seen. The band more than lives up to its reputation, composing great musical pieces from start to finish. I absolutely love the multitude of influences being put together here. David Fischer

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

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..... grote_smurf
