Mirage

Fifth pressing limited of only 300 copies on black double vinyl of “Mirage”, third full-length studio album by the Portuguese band Gaerea...

Last copies of this fabulous vinyl edition of “Mirage”, the blistering third full-length album from Portuguese outfit Gaerea, a release that saw the band take another major step forward following “Unsettling Whispers” and “Limbo”, expanding the scope of their sound without sacrificing the abrasive intensity that had defined their earlier work.

Across eight compositions, Gaerea unleash a veritable maelstrom of black metal, shifting between explosive bursts of fury and relentless drumming, richly melodic guitar work, suffocating passages of tension and tracks that build towards epic proportions, shaping an album that is as devastating as it is immersive, where rawness and beauty coexist in a remarkably powerful balance.

From the blistering opening of “Memoir” to the solemn intensity of “Laude”, “Mirage” demonstrates Gaerea’s ability to push contemporary black metal into increasingly ambitious territory, with a distinctive identity that transcends the boundaries of the genre without losing its dark, visceral essence. One of the defining works in their discography and compelling proof of the position this Portuguese outfit has earned within the international extreme metal scene.

This version, limited to only 300 copies worldwide, comes presented on black double vinyl and deluxe gatefold sleeve with gloss laminate, it also includes a 4-page insert...
