lyrics
Черный всадник, мы с тобой!
Не нужно нам благословенных!
Лишь тьма и чернота
На холсте всегда нетленны
Не печалься, Василиса
Чёрный всадник вдаль умчится
Тьма окрасится искусно
Кисть на холст дарует чувства
Ночь полна красок и художеств
Стой, не двинься, не тревожься
Представь себе, что ты царица
А за спиной твоей
Лишь тьма и чернота
Лишь тьма и чернота
На холсте всегда нетленны
Не печалься, Василиса
Завтра будет, спать ложися
Тьма окрасится искусно
Кисть на холст дарует чувства
Эй, запоры отомкнитесь;
Эй ворота отворитесь!
Ярок свет от черепа глаз
Ступай, настал твой час
Black rider, we are with you!
We don't need the blessed ones!
Only blackness, only darkness
Will never fade from the canvas
Do not worry, Vasilisa,
The Black Rider will dart away
Dark will get dyed so adeptly
Brush against the canvas wakens feelings
Night is full of paint and art
Stop, don't move, don't fret
Imagine - you're a queen
And behind your back
Only blackness, only darkness
Only blackness, only darkness
Will never fade from the canvas
Do not worry, Vasilisa,
Tomorrow will come, go to sleep
Dark will get dyed so adeptly
Brush against the canvas wakens feelings
Hey, latches, unlock;
Hey, gates, open up!
Bright is the light from the skull's eyes
Go now, your time has come.
Vasilisa the Beautiful - the character of Russian fairy tales, and also eponymous drawing of an outstanding artist of the Russian Empire Ivan Bilibin. He was born in the Finnish village Seppälänkylä (smithy village), not far from St. Petersburg. There is a legend that Ivan has Finnish or Karelian origin: indirect confirmation of that is that the picture "Vasilisa the Beautiful" was painted in many places of the different regions populated by northern Finno-Ugric peoples in that time, and the prototype for the picture was created in Vesiegonsk county of the Tver province: the woman in the foreground was a native Karelian from Yogna village.
Ivan Bilibin's picture formed the basis for the art for the track, and the plot from the fairy tale with Baba Yaga partly became the basis for the musical part of the song.

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!!

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.

Joseph Hawker subverts the musical and sociopolitical status quo with a black metal triptych that's as incendiary as it is impressionistic.
