My absolutely favourite black metal album. Hardly a day goes by that I don't listen to it. The screaming of T. is so furious and destructive. The melodies of O. always cast a spell over me. And what grabs me the most is the drumming of J. which is extremely well mixed and really bangs. I hope there will be another album soon!
It's hard to say which track is the best, but for me the album is a complete work of art! Crystal Rites

What an impressive release, no surprise the album is that good. Just like its successor, maybe even more so, ΨΥΧΙΚΗ ΑΠΟΣΥΝΘΕΣΗ (Mental Decay) manages living up to its name. There is a malign, threatening presence oozing out between the riffs and the atmospheric parts at all times, evoking the feeling of constantly and slowly rotting away mentally, losing grip of ones consciousness more and more. I.A. did a masterful job here, constructing a terrifying journey into delirium. David Fischer

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
