Gaerea - "Absent"

Today I end up this week of special posts dedicated to MetalMad's Oath Circle Meeting II, none other with Portuguese black metal band Gaerea, and the official video of this track: "Absent", taken from their debut full-length album: "Unsettling Whispers" released last year.
Gaerea were formed in Porto, back in May 2016, and are made of five elements which prefer to stay anonymous, wearing masks on their live shows for that purpose. When asked about that, they simply reply: "Everyone wears a mask!".
In November of their starting year, the band launched their first EP titled after the own name: "Gaerea", and as mentioned above, two years later the first full-length release came out to the World.
With such a short career already, Gaerea have been conquering great international recognition, and their last mini-tour of eight gigs in China back in May is a good proof of that, being also one of the few Portuguese bands to perform in Asian ground.
For all of these reasons to start with, needless to say it will be a tremendous honor to welcome Gaerea on stage tonight at the DTOX bar in Funchal, Madeira, and feel their mighty and austere black metal echoing through the venue, also know as Mad Dungeon.
To finish, I will quote here how Gaerea describe themselves, which pretty much says what their project and identity are:
"Let's make one thing clear. We need to stress the fact that our era is lost in a huge void of numbness. We are here to bring and present you what your system could not solve by it self. We'll cover the daylight with ashes and smash the massive skull that's blocking your brain and will to evolve. We're GAEREA."
