about
Wor Ri was a good student. The best of them! He had to… For only the
best were allowed to face the Trial of Houses. That’s what they called
it in the dormitory, but the elders were not fond of the name. It was
“disrespectful”, they said. The Destined Path Through The Eight Houses
Of Might was the rite’s proper name. And even though no one really knew
what it looked like - it was the ultimate goal for all them students.
Wor Ri knew that all along. As did all the other boys. You either work
hard to become a monk in The Monastery Of The Houses or you remain a
vermin forever. Wor Ri was lucky. For tomorrow was meant to be his big
day! Tomorrow he was meant to face the trials...

lyrics
Come forth, my kin
See what lies within
In the House of Lowlifes
A thousand of extended hands
Help a man in need
Or bathe in your greed
In the House of Mirrors
Each one shows a different truth
Be it kindness or envy
Your choice shall lead you through
Succumb to your nature
In the House of Feast
Starve your way to exit
Or leave as sated beast
Haste, haste through these halls
Haste, haste against all odds
Yours is the day! Callooh! Callay!
Abstention comes to pass
In the House of Glass
Submit it to the lust
Or walk the virtuous path
Approach the House of Red
Let the anger guide your hand
Claim for yourself the House of Gold
Pray it won’t turn into mold
Face with courage the House of Toil
With wine or sweat you shall water the soil
The Eight Houses of Might
Shall determine whether your path was right
Haste, haste through these halls
Haste, haste against all odds
Yours is the day! Callooh! Callay!
The final House of the unknown name
You realize that nothing shall ever be the same
The roads have been taken, the choices have been made
One last step towards Destiny
Blinding light from the Final House of Might
A figure pale with a golden scale
The balance pans are free of lies
Judgement Day
Calloh! Callay!

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

This album is just 100/100, like so many albums from mgla. How can a band hit the spot so many times? They are incredible. Thank you for accompanying me almost daily these days :) adrianradillo

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!! sachavonkarl74

Mikolaj is a real multi-talent in bass as well as guitar as well as vocals and "Darkside" Maciej's drumming is a well-calibrated 100th-of-seconds-clockwork. Not for nothing is Mgla considered as a standard for a lot of other blacker-than-black metal bands. I hope to see this band live once..... grote_smurf
