GAEREA is nothing short of a beautiful enigma rooted in musical extremity and utter passion. In under a decade, the masked collective, born in the Portuguese town of Porto, has navigated countless darkened shades of metal to arrive at their fifth album and Century Media debut, Loss. “We’ve done what we’ve always done, which is follow our instincts,” says GAEREA’s anonymous vocalist. “Yet, something tells me, that on this new record, there’s elements that both our new and old fans will love, but it’s not exactly what they’ll expect us to do.”
Loss is the sound of GAEREA continuing to define and redefine itself, incorporating elements of the band’s post-black metal past with the sharpened sonics and haunting melodies that coalesced spectacularly with 2024’s album, Coma. Recorded in early 2025 in Portugal with long-running collaborator Miguel Teroso at Demigod Recordings, Loss finds GAEREA emerging from creative chrysalis and bursting into something as engaging as it is unexpected. From the bombast that opens the record with “Luminary” to the album’s elegiac closer, “Stardust”, you can hear every member pushing their personal and creative limits. There’s singing. There are choruses as catchy and passionate as the best rock and metal songs. Yet, through the emotionally charged din, it’s unmistakably GAEREA.
Loss is the sound of the masked specters of GAEREA laying their souls bare. Musically and emotionally, they’re opening themselves up and bringing a decade’s worth of musical and personal soul-rending into sharper focus and becoming a genre-of-one in the process. “We’re not a black metal band anymore, if we ever were,” states the vocalist. “We always have been compared to hardcore bands and post-hardcore and shoegaze and post-this and post-that. We’re slowly finding our way as a band but just as importantly, as people, but the DNA is always there. This is GAEREA.”
