    As a portuguese, I can say that we are really happy to have finally a new band that's is getting popular outside Portugal.

      We have a fair amount of popular bands when it comes to actual underground black metal, people respect our scene a lot tbh. But yeah, Gaerea seems to be hitting the more mainstream metal audience probably because of how "modern" and "accessible" their black metal style is.

      It's the seal of Asmodeus (or Asmodei). God help him, I hope he doesn't really understand what he is invoking, so that it won't work.

      @@TheSkilfingar My personal opinion is that your face mirrors your soul. Covering it has various symbolisms, some of which have been referred to by band members. Covering parts of the head have various meanings within all mystical traditions and religions (see kings/queens, popes, orthodox priesthood or an imam, among others). Covering it with a particular symbol is willingly handing your will to the will of the one the symbol represents. This is how I perceive it, this is the way I'm addressing it. However, I might be wrong, either in my overall understanding or the intentions of the band members
