What a gig!!! What a band!!!! What a woman!!!! I promise to never open my beak again... errrr... no, I will.
Anyway. Beware, people, a force is born. Also, one of the rare events when masks and long robes really fit the music.

Dan576 This album in just one word to describe it.... PERFECT!!!! A MASTERPIECE
I DAMN LOVE IT!!!!

269 Finally a full length release! Some seriously excellent moments on display that hint at what could follow, most notably Four Riders and Serpent's and album closer Where The Eyes Close. Some filler moments unfortunately , but overall highly recommended. Favorite track: Serpent's.

poellII listen to four riders! Favorite track: Four Riders.

Mierajučy miežy vorahaŭ Vyzvalienyja z zapusciennia Сiomnyja liosy u biaskoncasci Kličucca Ciemraj In the moon light There is a King prowling around Quenching in thirst of death Inside thy souls is prison The tomb of lies and flattery The Hunt walks after you … My soul’s made Of dark emperium Into the nigt where the fires are doomed My soul’s made Of dark emperium Into the nigt where the fires are doomed Into the night with no fire, blind He blesses a torch for the pure Into the night with no fire, blind He blesses a torch for the pure Their unprincipled judges Are payed by blood. Get up and take a look into the truth! There is vengeance! Loaded furnaces Are greeted by ashes Get up and take a look into the Dark! Here is my vengance - for the damned! Darkest forest, rise against Now! Here is my vengance - for the damned! Darkest, lifeless Open wings Now!

Im scratching the surface Im scratching upon The wisdom of nothing Is laying beyond Im scratching the surface Im scratching upon The wisdom of nothing The grave down below Kill In the name of God Feel the suffering In the War The way you bleed For the snakes That’s starving Starving Winter Winter Sun For the war that’s starting Winter Winter Star For the war that’s starving Crawling in the night Calling the Winter might In the collapse of the wind and flames You must feel the night And kill the parasite With the blade of our pure hate The storm is black until the blood is red And the winds are dilling bells So be sure to die Because the Deamon’s lights Currupting Winter bless... I'm scratching the surface Im scratching upon The wisdom of nothing It’s laying beyond Im scratching the surface Im scratching upon The wisdom of nothing The way I belong…

about

Ciemra, Belarusian for “Darkness”, is a Black Metal band from Minsk which came to life in 2019, when five essences emerged from the Abyss to the veils of night on the eve of the end times, in order to reap the living, to satisfy the hunger of Darkness and to nourish the wombs of the Dark Gods.

The Tread Of Darkness is based on the denial of the usual foundations of the world, on the darkest manifestations of human activity, and on energies hidden beyond the Dark Abyss. The nine songs of the album make no mystery of their anti-religiousness, which we turn into pure black matter.

Nature, in its primordial beauty and originality, also finds a place in The Thread Of Darkness, as there is where we find ourselves at peace.

Ciemra delivers a fast-paced, cold and pure black metal which is looking at both the classic European sound and its more contemporary interpretations. You will find loads of riffs, as well as the odd solo and melodic hook, which will relentlessly drag you toward the Darkness.

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

Unsettling Whispers
by GAEREA

supported by 18 fans who also own “The Tread of Darkness”

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

The Funeral Pyre
by KVAEN

supported by 17 fans who also own “The Tread of Darkness”

The first 30 seconds of "Revenge by Fire" convinced me to get the whole album! It is a face-melting blend of speed and black metal, reminiscent of Hellripper! KVAEN is a Swedish solo project much like Hellripper but many known guest musicians helped J. Björnfot in his endeavor. Altogether it is really a solid debut album, I loved the melodies and the pace changes in the second half too, ending with a "calm" instrumental one. Well-done!! sachavonkarl74
