The Only Way To Reach The Surface

This sick album is no less than a masterpiece. There's a great range of influences, from Post-Rock to Black Metal with just everything else you can think of in between.

Probably the last testimony of one of the best French Gothic Metal bands. Great swansong.

A furious rock album that shows a different side of MONOLITHE's guitarist Benoît's playing. Guest vocals by Vincent Cavanagh of Anathema on one 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.

More cathartic, atmospheric heaviness from the German doom metallers, balancing no-nonsense hooks with proggy flourishes.
