Charge, Go forth white horses
To the bloodied fields
Of unholy actions
Bring forth Aegir
Out from the ocean
Blood drenched screams
on swollen tides
Take the breath
Of a deserving man
Kill his kind and rule his land
Reaching to Valhalla is the final plan
Take me to the fatherland
We fly above
wings cast in steel
Hold fast your sword
We search for heroes
Know our cries
The weak should run
But those deserving
Shall carry on
Oceans are blackened
by the night skies
How fitting that
You drown in the darkness
Cruel your intentions
wicked your ways
wrote the sentence
for fated execution
You build on bones
the skulls will topple
upon the mortal throne
of all the forsaken people
Who have deceived you
How many souls have you taken?
We fly above
wings cast in steel
Hold fast your sword
We search for heroes
Know our cries
The weak should run
But those deserving
Shall carry on
No battle cry
No shield wall
Will ever stop
The drowning surge
By Valkyrie will
You simple men
of greedy hearts
We cannot save

What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music. Sælzer Bub
The album description mentions an “emotional apex.” That’s really the difference between Stare and the band’s previous albums. Ulcerate was always supremely technically proficient. I just didn’t care all that much. Their growth has come from making music you will feel. Metallurgical Fire
Blackbraid quickly followed up their 2022 debut in 2023 with more native folk infused furious black metal. This is by no means a sophomore slump as it is equally excellent, methodical, melodical, and approachable as the first record. 9/10 RJ
