With the release of their fourth album Coma, Gaerea have transformed their black metal roots into a powerful force that is elevating them to the peak of extreme metal. Out today, October 25, 2024, through Season of Mist, this album marks a turning point for the enigmatic Portuguese band, who are known for their relentless mystery and captivating intensity.
On Coma, Gaerea have pushed beyond genre conventions, blending heart-wrenching, atmospheric elements with dark, hypnotic riffs and a newfound vocal versatility that includes clean singing—a striking departure for the band. As Metal Injection observed, Coma offers “one of the best metal records of 2024,” further confirmed by praise from sources like Decibel, FLOOD, New Noise, and Apple Music. This is Gaerea’s evolution from underground black metal into a gripping new chapter of atmospheric brutality and immersive soundscapes.
Produced by Miguel Tereso at Demigod Studios, Coma represents a sonically ambitious journey. Tracks like "The Poet’s Ballet" and "Hope Shatters" exhibit Gaerea’s striking balance between heaviness and melancholic beauty, incorporating elements of post-rock and lush choral arrangements that highlight their complex and poignant narrative. Miguel Tereso’s pristine production allows Gaerea’s fierce expression to emerge with intensity, clarity, and layers of dark melody, especially apparent in tracks like “Suspended,” which fuses desolation and explosive aggression.
As part of their new era, Gaerea will soon be bringing Coma to audiences around the globe. They kick off their North American tour alongside Zeal & Ardor in November, with dates across the U.S. and Canada, followed by a European headlining tour in 2025. For fans of black metal’s darkest and most beautiful offerings, Coma promises to be Gaerea's ascent into the top ranks of extreme music.
