Someday,
the promised day will come
Turning the back to numbening comfort,
A comfort that held you far too long.
Defeated,
with chivalry of one thousand men.
Dulling,
withering all inner essence,
holding power to decide,
yet feeling just restraint.
Cursory order,
won't save chaos within.
With your Left arm you're pushing forward,
pushing forth pragmatic reality.
With your right arm up - holding truth,
the truth you pretend to care for.
Between both threads, divisive,
A middle path never crossed as answer.
You are the Lord of Steam,
Yet, still swallow the sun.
From cradle,
a fate set in stone,
heir of riches,
how valueless they have shown.
Diligent,
Cowardly living for this endeavour,
now never,
will that day come.
Cursory order,
won't save chaos within.
With your Left arm you're pushing forward,
pushing forth pragmatic reality.
With your right arm up - holding truth,
the truth you pretend to care for.
Between both threads, divisive,
A middle path never crossed as answer.
You are the Lord of Steam,
Yet, still swallow the sun.
As you swallow the sun,
Promised life flashes through your eyes,
As you swallow the sun,
Your prime has passed,
now all that's left is swim in gold.
As you swallow the sun,
Hiding insecurities under titles,
won't make you ONE.
As you swallow the sun,
the airships you built had more freedom,
than you ever will.
Tragic fate created in tragic choices,
Keeping in your pocket all the voices,
that left hand holding grip now rejoices,
all this is left,
as you swallow the ...
From the alchemical merging of “Metal” music and the aesthetics of “Steampunk”, an unlikely synthesis is born , giving rise
to “Dallian”, a band hoping to fill a void in a still very underexplored fusion.
Rising in 2017 from the center of Portugal, Dallian is a band with roots on a solid background of Death Metal with added virtuosity of symphonic elements, all arranged in progressive dynamics....more

A beautiful journey from start to finish, with perfectly placed moments of gentility amidst the rhythmic intrigue and blast beats of their guest drummer. jsteadmanfan

I never cared about symphonic metal at all. I do very much care about folk as well as progressive metal, and so I couldn't resist after reading the third exceptional AMG review for Wilderun in a row. 'Sleep...' has been on my radar for quite some time, being graced by one of the most beckoning cover arts I have ever seen. The band more than lives up to its reputation, composing great musical pieces from start to finish. I absolutely love the multitude of influences being put together here. 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
