lyrics
A fragile gift in fragile hands, inherited
And then it will fade to the west, with us
Ethereal
It is lost, yet unveiled, to those who can see
It's a stream and a flame, here and beyond
Precious
Ethereal
I need to know, I need to know
What lies beyond the red of the sun, of the blood
Before the breeze subside
Before the stars have fallen
Before my bones are gone into the ground
I can't bear, this ignorance
This suffering, the vanity of the shelter I borrowed
I hate my kind, and the weakness of the flesh
An irony dawn I see, deathless
I will scatter the flame of truth
Open the eyes of the miscreants
For in every heart, in every house, my vision shall be known and revered
I am the augury of progress and as an rotten world fades
I'll be the bringer of a new bright dawn
Abigail Williams has had a weird career with hiatuses and lineup changes, but they have finally perfected their sound on Walk Beyond the Dark. This album has such a refreshing and natural feeling that makes it one of the top atmospheric black metal albums of recent years. Ryan
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
Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10 RJ
