lyrics
Narčat (Narchat) is the name of Mokshan czarina (Moksha and Mordva describe the same nation but Russian people are more familiar with the name “Mordva”) although she cannot be found in any historical records. The legend has it that Narčat was a daughter of Mokshan kanazor (king) Puresh who was the ruler of the early feudal formation of Mokshans called Volost Puresheva in which several fiefdoms were united.
Legends about Narčat were first recorded in 1920th by I.F. Sadin, member of Saratov Scientific Archives Commission.
“Czarina was a young woman of great beauty. She could ride the horse as any Cossack, and had 300 men as servants, and 20000 warriors. She built herself a palace on the beach of Moksha river and a summerhouse afield where she used to spend her summer days. There also was an underground tunnel leading from the summerhouse right to the palace. In the times of her rule there was a great battle between Mordvians and the Tartar Yoke. The battle happened during winter on thin river ice. Despite her vigorous resistance Narčat armies had been defeated and czarina led her horse into the ice-hole where she drowned.”
-Chorus includes traditional Mokshan melody
-At the end of the track listeners can hear Mokshan female choir

A truly stellar death/doom album with heavy doses of black metal. Tracks like Isolation, Child of Light, and Broken Hymns deliver the sorrowful and icy tone of this album, elevated by the stirring cello compositions of Raphael Weinroth-Browne. The album delivers a deeply satisfying crescendo in Becoming Intangible before stirring the soul once again with Epilogue.

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.

The first 30 seconds of "Revenge by Fire" convinced me to get the whole album! It is a face-melting blend of speed and black metal, reminiscent of Hellripper! KVAEN is a Swedish solo project much like Hellripper but many known guest musicians helped J. Björnfot in his endeavor. Altogether it is really a solid debut album, I loved the melodies and the pace changes in the second half too, ending with a "calm" instrumental one. Well-done!!

Life has gone on long enough
by NONEsupported by 33 fans who also own “Narčat”
On ne frappe pas un homme à terre : c'est ce que dit la règle mais NONE a déjà prouvé qu'il ne les suivait pas et si son album éponyme retirait toute perspective de béatitude spirituelle, Life has gone on long enough, son deuxième opus, nous interdit l'accès au bonheur terrestre. La vie n'a aucune substance et la production plus distante le confirme. Le DSBM s'empare de textures sonores blues, mettant en relief une dépression urbaine. Les cris partent en fumées : ne restent que les pleurs...
