Blacksmith's Wisdom
from The Weakness of Virtue by SOULMASS
lyrics
Flame, I smell flame upon you
Power of the gods, how brightly you burn
Flame, dear flame, I give you my all
Still you waver and falter
Feel the hammer strike
Giving life into steel
With power from the flame
Artwork designed to kill
A weapon to tip the scales
Against the might of the lords
I hear the will of the blade
Calling out for their souls
To be one with the flame
To be kin to the fire
Tools and tricks of a trade
Born in righteous desire
Edge of sword, point of spear
Curve of axe, weight of club
Children of dying embers
From the flame that I love
Flame, I smell flame upon you
If you walk with flame, then I salute you
Flame, dear flame, we give you our all
Still you waver and falter
The embers radiate
A dull light nearly exhausted
Revealing an eerie resilience
Linked to the fire
From the start of time
Flame allowed man to flourish
And even now, we devise new fiery arts
The flame allures us, allows us to see
Power of the gods, how brightly you burn
Flame, dear flame, I give you my all
Still you waver and falter
Feel the hammer strike
Giving life into steel
With power from the flame
Artwork designed to kill
A weapon to tip the scales
Against the might of the lords
I hear the will of the blade
Calling out for their souls
To be one with the flame
To be kin to the fire
Tools and tricks of a trade
Born in righteous desire
Edge of sword, point of spear
Curve of axe, weight of club
Children of dying embers
From the flame that I love
Flame, I smell flame upon you
If you walk with flame, then I salute you
Flame, dear flame, we give you our all
Still you waver and falter
The embers radiate
A dull light nearly exhausted
Revealing an eerie resilience
Linked to the fire
From the start of time
Flame allowed man to flourish
And even now, we devise new fiery arts
The flame allures us, allows us to see

I dig this album so much, definitely a keeper. Subtly and masterfully mixing death metal subgenres, backed with an over the top production. They're true professionals. Can't wait for their next release!

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.
