Sounds | Gaerea - Nomad

Hoe diep kan een riff snijden?

Hoe kan een drummer in godsnaam door op wat ezelsvellen te slaan je hart sneller en sneller doen kloppen?

Hoe slaagt een kwintet gemaskerde Portugezen er telkens opnieuw in om mij zo diep te raken terwijl ze godbetert (post-)black metal spelen?


Gaerea beheerst de kunst om extreme emoties in extreme muziek om te zetten, en (mij toch) met chirurgische precisie daar te raken waar het telt.


Op Nomad verkent de band een meer open geluid, zonder ook maar een moment aan intensiteit in te boeten. Haal er de blastbeats en tremolo’s uit, en je krijgt de song die Machine Head ontbrak om één van hun laatste albums een klassieker te maken.


Maar geef mij toch maar Gaerea.

After exploring water, fire and darkness GAEREA are chasing the light in a freezing world with “Nomad”.


“The Nomad is the individual who goes through life at a constant moving pace just to avoid facing oneself—physically drifting, but emotionally running from guilt, self-doubt, and a fear of becoming something to despise. At its core, it’s a confession of alienation: a nomad not by choice, but by self-punishment and inner collapse”, says the band about “Nomad”, their new song and video. Like the previous videos from their upcoming album, “Loss”, “Nomad” was directed by Tre Film.

“Loss” is the sound of GAEREA continuing to define and redefine itself, incorporating elements of the band’s post-black metal past with the sharpened sonics and haunting melodies. It finds GAEREA emerging from creative chrysalis and bursting into something as engaging as it is unexpected: There’s singing. There are choruses as catchy and passionate as the best rock and metal songs. Yet, through the emotionally charged din, it’s unmistakably GAEREA.
