lyrics
“Land of the Fearless Birds” is dedicated to the victims of tragic events that had been occurring in Karelia since 1937. Music was written under strong and grim impressions caused by reading the book «Карелия 37» (Karelia 37). Those were the times when terrible deeds were being committed in the northern part of RSFSR. Krasny Bor alone had witnessed more than a thousand people being fusilladed and every stone was covered with human blood.
—Chorus is a rearrangement of Karelian folksong “Kylä Vuotti Uutta Kuuta”
—Main riff is nothing but a slower version of Karelian rune “Vaka Vanha Väinämöinen”
—Song uses Karelian and Finnish folk instruments, including kantele and jouhikko (jouhikas in Finnish), which was processed with a amp.

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.

Панихида
by Krzysztof Drabikowskisupported by 47 fans who also own “Land Of The Fearless Birds”
La traversée du désert n'aura pas duré quarante jours mais quatre longues années... Avec Панихида, Батюшка renaît enfin de ses cendres et, bien que désormais seul (ou plus exactement entouré de deux chanteurs), Христофор accomplit un miracle. Il s'inscrit dans la continuité de Литоургиiа avec un black metal orthodoxe qui nous convie ici à une cérémonie dédiée aux morts. Sa vision est englobante : les mélodies, la gravité et le silence font toucher le paradis ; l'agressivité est luciférienne.

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!!
