lyrics
Chokk Kapper is rather an ambivalent character in the mythology of Sami people from Far North. On the one hand, it is a figurative name of devil, and on the other - a very peculiar version of a superhero: at daytime he's a good and kind man, and at night he turns into a powerful monster and kills those who have done anything bad to him at the day. "Chokk Kapper" literally translates as a "sharp cap" - according to the belief, that is what our hero wears.
"About fifty meters before reaching the island on the frozen lake, I saw peculiar tracks of some large animal. Its trail left the island and about fifteen meters further took a detour. I started walking parallel to the trail a couple of meters away from it in order to avoid treading it down. The tracks looked human, as if left by naked feet, about 25-30 centimetres deep. The footprints were narrow, but long. My foot is EU size 46, but these tracks looked size 49-50. Step length was about 40-50 centimetres. The weirdest thing, though, was that these prints didn’t have the typical dragging motion you usually see with animal paw prints on the snow. The looked perfectly imprinted. I haven’t thought about those tracks for a few years, but in 2012 I was in a local hospital for my physical, and the ward next to mine was occupied by an ex-special ops guy – about 2 meters tall, 150 kg, dead-lifter, seen some real fights. Basically, “no bullshit” kind of guy. I told him about the weird tracks on the “Domashneye” lake, to which he replied that he’d seen the thing that left those tracks near the hut in the woods. It was night time; he heard some noise outside, got up, looked out of the window and was greeted by terrifying red eyes. He jumped away from the window and left the door locked. By first light the thing was gone and the guy returned home safe…"

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 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.

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!!

Shoegaze, post-rock, black metal, dark ambient: if it's gloomy and surreal, you'll find it on the Arizona outfit's excellent second LP.

The perfect blend of naive enthusiasm and unfiltered rock 'n' roll danger, leading to an explosive, raw sound. Volcanic, pure, and crushing.
