GAEREA arrived shrouded in mystery. The masked sensations emerged from pandemic limbo with a vision for black metal that was guided not by myths or pagan beliefs but a purging of emotion. Existential dread still pulses through the Portuguese band's blood, but their fourth album signals a shift in psychology.

With "Coma",GAEREA are no longer strictly a black metal band. Instead, they're breaking to the forefront of extreme metal. Though their new album was produced by trusted confidant Miguel Tereso, it broadens the band's signature sound by taking it in two seemingly opposed directions. There are more moments of intense beauty, but they only heighten the ensuing blows.

GAEREA have returned to prove that they are only the band who can guide us into the darkness.

"As someone who's already heard Coma in full, you're getting a glimpse at one of the best metal records of 2024", wrote Metal Injection

GAEREA BIOGRAPHY:
Style: Cathartic Black Metal

[ Photo by © Chantik Photography ]

Behind black shrouds of obscurity and desolation, the performers of GAEREA deliver their odes in cascading maelstroms of aggression and beauty. Emerging from the age of pandemic to whatever awaits humanity next, the dark horde remains on the frontlines of the next generation of extreme metal. With an EP and three albums to their name, GAEREA has rapidly distinguished themselves from the thousands of bands toiling away in the underground. Brewing their cauldron of sound from a recipe of pounding black-metal blast mixed with a touch of harrowed, reflective longing, many devotees of the darkened arts have flocked to their banner. With the emergence of third full-length album Mirage, those numbers certainly grew.

GAEREA met a challenge when releasing their second album during the pandemic, the aptly titled Limbo, to excellent world reception. In the meantime, they found the total suspension of interactive life as it was previously known to be the perfect breeding ground for further creation and making.

Sizzling with ambition from day one, GAEREA may present one unique face to their audience, masked and enshrouded, but the truth is they have not remained changeless.

As their previous album name Mirage suggests, the inability to trust what our senses are telling us could be construed as one of the album’s central themes. Rather than constrict their art to mythological references or anti-religious tropes, GAEREA instead plumb the depths of the human experiences of isolation and suffering.

Just two years since Mirage was released, GAEREA is here, erupting with intensity, casting forth black ashes over the world yet again.

Their latest release, Coma, has finally surfaced, marking a pivotal shift. From this point forward, everything changes. It's time for GAEREA to bridge the gap between underground metal and the elevated realm they've attained. With Coma, GAEREA emerges from the underground scene, ascending towards a permanently lasting position at the head of the table.

An emotional gateway to a dark black metal scene, a guide to salvation, pain, despair and letting go. Moving up, into the blackness that is above. GAEREA is the answer, the only answer.

Within "Coma's" ten tracks lies an individual narrative, each with its own tale to unveil. Collectively, they blend nuances of aggression, tranquility, solitude, and fervor.

Boasting a superior production that threads the needle between caustic and clarity, GAEREA yet again admit their loyalty to producer Miguel Tereso of Demigod Recordings for the production of Coma. Together they created the birth of "Coma", the new era for metal mankind. Distinguishing themselves ever more so, the Vortex handpicked their artist Nathan Lorenzana with a clear assignment to create their mesmerizing cover artwork. Months of hand drawing the image with a ballpen lead to this masterpiece which dipped his name into ‘Coma’.

The beauty of GAEREA lies in the directness and simplicity found within their florid tapestry of extremity and aggression. Whether it is in the less-polished aural dynamite of Mirage, or in the lustrous textures of Coma, GAEREA is building a mighty edifice of metal. With talons dipped in the inky blood of black metal and scraped across the flesh of human suffering, GAEREA is leading a charge into the future of darkness, and all those who find beauty and power in the dark side of existence would do well to take heed.

FACEBREAKER BIOGRAPHY

Facebreaker were formed in 1999, following a conversation between Janne, Roberth, Mikael and Jonas. They had similar music tastes and decided to start a brutal and straight-forward metal band. A few rehearsal-sessions later they added lead guitarist Janos to their line-up. Facebreakers first demo "Use Your Fist" was recorded at a local studio in the beginning of the new millennium.

In March 2001 they went back to the studio to record a promo demo called "Hate and Anger". 2002 U.K. based Rage of Achilles Records got hold of their promo and offered the band a deal. A Rage of Achilles compilation album called "Conquest For The Empire" was out in April, featuring Facebreaker along with other new signings on the label. In September Janos quit the band due to lack of time. Fortunately they knew a guitar-player named Mika and a line-up change took place.

In June 2003 Facebreaker’s promo demo "Hate and Anger" was released on seven-inch vinyl. In July the band entered Black Lounge Studios to record their first full-length album "Bloodred Hell". "Boodred Hell" was released in the beginning of 2004. It achieved great reviews and feedback all around the world. Unfortunately Rage Of Achilles went out of business somewhere between late 2004 and early 2005 and "Bloodred Hell" was never given the right amount of exposure it deserved.

Without a record-deal Facebreaker made a new promo demo and started to work on new material. Facebreaker got several offers from interested labels but finally choose to work with Singapore based Pulverised Records. 2007a new record-deal was closed with Pulverised Records and in July the band went back to Jonas Kjellgrens Black Lounge Studios to record their second full-length album "Dead Rotten and Hungry". 2008 Facebreaker released "Dead Rotten and Hungry" through Pulverised Records. The album is being licensed to Cyclone Empire for a limited edit. vinyl release. Facebreaker plays Party San Open Air in Germany and is getting enthusiastic feedback.

Facebreaker did their first European tour in 2009 and an amazing show at the With Full Force-Open Air Festival in Germany in front of more than 10,000 people. In September, “Bloodred Hell” is being re-released by Cyclone Empire with additional bonus tracks. A new worldwide record deal was signed with Cyclone Empire at the end of 2009.

On the first of January 2010 they started to record their third studio album called ”INFECTED”. This time they choose to work with Jonas Kjellgren at Black Lounge Studios and Peter Tägtgren at ABYSS studios.

“INFECTED” was released in October that same year. The release was followed by gigs and festivals all around Europe, and they did a massive show at the mighty Summer Breeze festival in 2011.

In 2012 they started to work on their upcoming fourth album “DEDICATED TO THE FLESH” and in January 2013 they entered Mr Plec’s The Panic Room Studios to record the drums. The rest was recorded in Slowly Rotting Studios and Crypt of Death Studios in their hometown Finspång and in Mars they went back to The Panic Room to do the mix and mastering. The result speaks for it self, a maximum assault of zombie death metal anger. Released in Europe 28.06.2013 through Cyclone Empire Records.

ABYSSIC sound is astonishing symphonic experience of obscure funeral doom and death metal combined with some old-fashioned Norwegian black metal and a touch of sophisticated progressive rock from the 70's.

BIOGRAPHY:
THE BRINGER OF DOOM

ABYSSIC is a unique symbiosis of atmospheric approaches in funeral death/doom, with black and prog influences. The signature is enhanced by orchestrations with Mellotron, Minimoog and Upright Bass.

ABYSSIC is a result of a collaboration between Memnock (Susperia), Elvorn (Susperia) and André Aaslie (Funeral, Images At Twilight, Gromth & Profane Burial) and together with Asgeir Mickelson (Ex-Borknagar, Ihsahn) they recorded the debut album 'A Winter's Tale' in February 2016 (Osmose Productions).

Later 2016 Tjodalv (Susperia, Ex-Dimmu Borgir, Old Man`s Child) and Makhashanah (Henriette Bordvik) (Asagraum (Live), Ex-Sirenia) joined ABYSSIC, and together with Memnock, Elvorn and Aaslie they bring you the ABYSSIC darkness with album nr 2, "High The Memory".







"BROUGHT FORTH IN INIQUITY"DETAILS:

Orchestral Doom / Death metal dark entities ABYSSIC will release their 3rd album entitled "Brought Forth In Iniquity" on October 28th through Osmose Productions.

The album art was created once again by Mitchell Nolte Art and Illustration for ABYSSIC, exclusively.

Finally, ABYSSIC's third opus is here, and the long wait is over... The music is much more violent, faster, and the lyrics are even more haunting than on the last two albums. The orchestration is beyond everything they have done so far and is even more beautiful than ever. So, in other words, "Brought Forth in Iniquity" is faster and more brutal and more beautiful than ever. All we can say is: Expect the unexpected.

DIABOLICAL BIOGRAPHY:

More than twenty years after their formation in northern Sweden, innovative blackened death metallers DIABOLICAL proves to be more vital than ever and puts forth “Eclipse”, a concept album reflecting on the dark side of humanity that forces the listener to explore his own diabolical side. The album is a tour de force with spitting musical and aesthetic complexity swirling around a dense soundscape of excellently distilled and refined ideas, altogether forming a rare display of musical craftsmanship equaled by very few contemporary metal bands.

DIABOLICAL was founded in Sundsvall, Sweden back in 1996, and has since released 5 full-length albums, in addition to two EP’s. Ever since then they have followed no one, and no one has followed them. Already with their early efforts “Deserts of Desolation” (mini album, 2000) and “Synergy” (2001), DIABOLICAL stood out as something different from the death metal bands coming up at the time, representing something unwilling to be categorized easily. Quickly following the release of their second full length, they toured throughout Europe several times during 2002-2003 presenting their repertoire.

Returning in 2008 with full force they delivered a milestone in their discography. Taking their innovative death metal a huge step further, they flung the listener into the darkest corners of the human mind, bringing to life restrained aggression and hunger for vengeance in “The Gallery of Bleeding Art”. The album received brilliant reviews and was followed by headline tours throughout Europe.

In January 2011 “Ars Vitae” was released, containing 17 tracks from different parts of the band’s career.

2013 saw the release of the band’s most ambitious album thus far. “Neogenesis” stood out as something truly unique. The album raised the bar for concept albums as it in addition to being a music album, it was also a novel. Binding every song with a chapter of the book, the music, lyrics, storytelling and philosophy of “Neogenesis” blends together to create a profound experience that left a deep impression on fans and press. Reviews were raving and the following European headline tours were hugely successful. The band appeared at many festivals, toured the UK and toured Europe again supporting Borknagar in 2016.

On their previous release, the “Umbra” EP (2016), DIABOLICAL continued to craft inventive music, moving seamlessly between crushingly heavy and dark to delicate and ethereal. But “Umbra” was a mere foreshadowing of what was to come. Produced again by vocalist/guitarist Sverker Widgren at Wing Studios in Stockholm, the new and 6th album “Eclipse” picks up where “Umbra” left off and once again DIABOLICAL manages to top their previous efforts.

With nine gracefully raging songs, “Eclipse” presents DIABOLICAL as a mature and sophisticated band ascending to new heights.

GAEREA - Coma European Headliner Tour in 2025!

COUNTRY: PORTUGAL
GENRE: CATHARTIC BLACK METAL



GAEREA - COMA EUROPEAN HEADLINER TOUR IN 2025!
[2024.10.01]

Extreme metal outfit GAEREA have just revealed detais from their "Coma European Headliner Tour" in 2025 to promote their new album "Coma" scheduled to be released on the 25th of October 2024 via Season of Mist!

In the shadows where desolation meets defiance, GAEREA beckons the daring, the pilgrims of darkness, to traverse realms marked by haunting beauty and devastating intensity. Celebrate the descent with Coma, as GAEREA announces their 2025 European tour - a symphony of anguish and transcendence.

In despair and isolation, GAEREA forged Coma, their fourth full-length alchemy of sound. Known for transcending the confines of traditional black metal, the masked visionaries have unveiled an opus that ripples with the agony of existence and the fleeting beauty within ruins. Crafted under the adept hand of Miguel Tereso at Demigod Studios, Coma promises an unyielding venture into the urban abyss.

Tracks like World Ablaze and Hope Shatters have already enticed the faithful with their blend of fiery tremolos and perilous melodies. These soundscapes capture the essence of GAEREA's transformative power, offering sanctuary to those who find solace in desolation.

As the final echoes of Coma resonate, GAEREA will carry this symphony of void across Europe to incite catharsis amongst the yearning masses. Mark these dates in blood:

GAEREA - Releases "Suspended" new music video!

GAEREA
COUNTRY: PORTUGAL
GENRE: CATHARTIC BLACK METAL



GAEREA - RELEASES "SUSPENDED"!
[2024.09.26]

Cathartic black metal outfit GAEREA have just released their new music video for "Suspended" from their new album "Coma" scheduled to be released on the 25th of October 2024 via Season of Mist!

GAEREA thrive on the purging of raw emotions, but on their upcoming fourth album, the Portuguese masked sensations prove that they're no longer just a black metal band. With Coma, they're surfacing to the top of extreme metal.

While produced by their trusted confidant Miguel Tereso, Coma expands GAEREA's signature sound by pulling it in two seemingly opposing directions. "Suspended" is haunted by moments of intense beauty. The band's new single is accompanied by a video that's both stunning and soul-stirring. But the pensive moments only heighten its crushing blows.

With its sharp and slithering riffs, GAEREA's previous single spiked the anticipation for Coma to an almost unbearable degree. "Suspended" holds their captive audience in even greater suspense. Like a spider weaving its web, the somber, opening guitar melody unfolds with great care before the booming blast beats swallow you into the band's inescapable vortex.

"I stand at a fateful divide / where choices collide", their tortured vocalist screams as if dangling from the grip of a soul-wrenching vice. "Hell breaks loose".

The never-ending maze that GAEREA dared us to enter during the album's first official single is obscured by an even thicker haze on "Suspended". But the band stay clear of any stylistic dead ends. The blindingly fast tremolo picking suddenly relents, opening up a post-rock passage that twinkles like a dying star. "No words can explain why I chose as I did", their vocalist sings in one great, long mournful sigh.

"Suspended" stands as the first song in GAEREA's mantle-worthy discography to feature clean singing, but the soft shift only sets up the song's final knockout. All at once, the riffs, blasts and screams come roaring back into the fray behind an elevated gothic choir, bringing the band's level of despair to crushing new heights.

"One of extreme music's most commanding, compelling forces" - Knotfest

"...separates itself from the pack thanks to hearty doses of dark melody, top notch production and skilled songwriting" - Decibel

"...builds upon itself until the sound and fury can’t be contained any longer, spilling over itself with raging vocals and pounding blast beats". - Metal Sucks

"Terrifying at times, but beautiful, almost like life" - New Noise

"Gaerea really aren’t like the other black metal bands...If you have any care for music as heartrending as it is heavy, this is a must-listen" - Angry Metal Guy
