Slug.
Tight. Incredibly tight. The atmosphere is perfectly dark and eerie and black as the moonless night. This band never disappoints me and these alternate takes have me salivating for the next album, and I like my steaks seared charred black on the edges and bloody raw on the inside.. and Cold Cell’s blackened emotionally raw music is just so.

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
