"THE LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT"
Progressive Metal
Year:11.10.2024
(Reigning Phoenix Music)

"The Last Will and Testament" is a kind of concept album. A restless musical journey that in a way reflects my own relationship to music as a consumer," says band leader Mikael Åkerfeldt. "I record something here and throw something away there. I love music and hate it at the same time. This ambivalence leads me down my own creative path, and suddenly a collection of songs emerges. At best, these songs are good enough to impress the band. Good enough for the "powers that be" in the industry. Good enough for "you"? I love this record. I have to say it (write it). Maybe I'm even proud of it? I suppose there are some familiar ingredients. Most of our music comes from the same source, so it's no surprise that it sounds like "us". I'm a bit impressed with what we&...

Year:25.10.2024
(SEASON OF MIST)

When Gaerea emerged out of pandemic limbo, the masked band came branded with a vision of black metal that was guided not by myths or pagan beliefs but a purging of emotion. The world quickly came to share that vision, following them from the gates of Hellfest to tours through China and the U.S. But with Coma, Gaerea are no longer strictly black metal. Though once again produced by their trusted confidant Miguel Tereso, their fourth album broadens their signature sound by taking it in two seemingly opposed directions. There are more moments of intense beauty, but they only heighten the ensuing blows. “World Ablaze” ignited this new era of Gearea by holding a more conventional song structure over fiery tremolo picking. “Hope Shatters” upends even the loftiest of fan e...
