lyrics
I parade on a needle
my idle feet dwell on a sting
since your endearment wheedles
my flattered peace into a bloodshot spring
where Narcissus and Tulips bloom
I breathe and break, first veil then groom
nursing one, cursing the other
sincerely striving from smoke into smother
prig as the sparrow stops to sing
barren as moss too tired to cling
I incessantly hound, ever rash, ever northbound
always aloof of some holier ground
I ever shiver, ever quiver
hustling hither, bustling thither
amid your loving lucid dreams
my uniqueness is arbitrary
the great indulgence, the luminary
it`s all pretending I am parching
I am starving where you feast
am I healing or annealing
are you the beauty or are you the beast?

Hearing the songs while reading the narrative behind the lyrics, I felt overwhelmed by this tragic story in which humans and artificial intelligence couldn't coexist side by side. Their reciprocal annihilation was inevitable. Except one "sole survivor, in a ship filled with memories. She had become the proof of Earth, proof that life had existed there, a voice for all the species and beauty we once knew". A dystopian concept dressed up in brilliant musicianship! @Slevin, thanks, I owe it to you! Umbra Cornuta

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

I've finally got Black Line on physical copy and this record actually blew my mind. There's so much beauty to this album but also its so crushingly heavy and extreme in an audio sense, Respire don't hold back they just let everything go and beyond, amazing!! Darknight
