GAEREA - Dormant (TORTURE VIDEO EXPERIENCE)

- Would you submit yourself to human torture to go beyond your limits to expressing art?
Voluntary suffering for the greater goal in pursuit of artistic excellence is what one of the members of cathartic black metal band GAEREA (PT) went through for the visualisation of ‘Dormant’.
The video (recorded by the great Claudio Marino, distinguished for working with giants like BEHEMOTH, WATAIN, SHINING) simply can’t be classified as a music video to give visualisation to the song. It’s an 8 minute excruciating compilation of being waterboarded, trapped in a cycle of unending pain, with each passing moment feeling like an eternity, time becomes the cruellest enemy.
GAEREA comments: “Complementing the song's aural journey, the video art installation accompanying "Dormant" delves into the anguish and struggle for survival. The visuals depict the main character, trapped and enclosed in a tormenting world, as water relentlessly pours over his body, simulating drowning and suffocation. This immersive and visceral experience offers a harrowing glimpse into the protagonist's fight for life, evoking a range of emotions and challenging viewers to confront their own mortality.”

We are Gaerea
You are fucking awesome for doing this!
You are fucking awesome for doing this!
NO! YOU'RE GAEREA!!! ..........this band is fucking excellent!!
Indeed you are... And this is excellent stuff! ❤
This is art, this is sacrifice, this is love, this is GAEREA! 🖤🖤🖤
I just can't express how beautiful this song is, the end part of the song brings me to tears. WE ARE GAEREA!
I didn't buy enough merch.
ETERNAL
Couldnt agree more!
I've been waiting for this video since it was announced.
I never thought that my reaction after finishing it would be start to crying, but without a doubt it's because of what it managed to convey.
Seeing the constant fall of the water and the weight it exerts on the Guilherme's body, made me remember what it has been like to live with anxiety since I was diagnosed.
That constant weight that makes it difficult for you to breathe and makes you believe that at some point you will stop breathing altogether.
That constant fear where you think that this TORTURE will never end unless you stop breathing forever.
It's the pain and despair reflected in this video....
And then, at the end... Seeing how the torture does have an end and even though you feel exhausted, you are there.... Inert but alive.
6 days for seeing you live again and 1 month of listening to you every day, I can say with total certainty that after this video Gaerea has become not only my favorite band but also my saviors, pulling me out of this black hole that is anxiety and depression.
My life has just had a before and an after thanks to you.
Love you guys!
You explained it in a way I never could. Thank you
Such a vulnerable and courageous comment. Thank you.
Desperate, tormented and raw. Just like their live performances. Can't wait to see them again!
11OCT Baltimore.
This has to be one of, if not the most unique music video idea I've ever witnessed, well done.
Much appreciated.
So, you've only just discovered the internet in the past week or so? 😂
@@McPilch Are you daft or something? Do you recall any other music videos you've watched where the frontman have willingly waterboarded themselves?
Insane. Gaerea is so special 🖤🤘
This band never stops amazing me with their talent and passion. Killer work as always guys. Blackmetal hall of fame worthy every time.
I'm listening to this song over and over. The last part of the song gives me goosebumps and a certain inner feeling of deliverance. Gaerea is my favourite band at the moment. You just were brilliant at Summer Breeze 🖤
Mate, I keep repeating the last bit from 6.35 watching G almost surrendering to it after writhing throughout. I have no words. I am so pleased for them having crossed the boundary into installation art and it actually be something real, not a light switch with some celotape on it.
I just wrote so much more and deleted it because words are limiting.
Just caught them live last night in Baltimore. Fvcking Beautiful.
Such a powerful and emotional song. I wish people who aren’t fans of metal could listen to this and feel what we feel. They “don’t get it” and it’s fine but the emotional well that metal can tap into, to me is unmatched by any other genre of music and there are a lot of people who are missing out.
This song brings me to tears. I totally get the message. Possibly my favorite song
Legitimately curious to see how long the video stays up before UA-cam enforces its policy about self-harm and stuff
Seems to be small enough they won't notice....anyone who i coming here to see it would not be the type to file a complaint
Still here
8 months later still kickin
Um conceito artístico muito interessante que realmente demonstra como os Gaerea estão a levar a banda a um outro nível, sem dúvidas uma das bandas mais admiráveis na cena de metal nacional.
E no mundo todo ainda não encontrei algo tão elegante, sombrio e que te faz viajar pela mente do ser humano. Décadas de Fado tinham de gerar alguma coisa. Somos Gaerea
@rvffvl completamente de acordo.
I think Gaerea and Blackbraid are the future of Black metal mantle!!!
You Right... The Play in Brooklyn Sunday 8... Greetings From NYC 🤘😎
THIS is black metal 🤘🏻
Hold up, this wasn't some kind of camera trickery? A band member legitimately put themselves through this?! 🤯
I mean, it doesn't look like there was a lot of direct contact with the head, but I have no doubt it still sucked to do.
Is your bar for mental toughness so low that you can't imagine yourself doing this? Cold water endurance and free diving are great ways to test your mind and body to the limit... The pain in your hands and feet from the cold and the burning lungs as you get lower and lower on air. Controlling the panic and going deeper... It's a great mental and physical challenge. Push yourself, be uncomfortable and scare yourself.
You do what you have to do get the point across. Guillerme put himself in harms way for us. Make sure to be grateful to and for him
Just saw them live last night. Absolutely incredible. Never miss a chance to see one of their shows, you won't be disappointed.
Ditto, just last night. I feel like life will be a bit of torture until the next show...
Just saw them last night. Just a brilliant performance.
Saw them the 13th last month
Esta banda está a tope,gran sonido buenas composiciones ,en este tema el final es muy emocionante, increíble atmosfera
Horns up!🤘
This is some serious dedication to your art. Gaerea forever.
I can see this being a thing. I can't be the only one that would give this a go. Instead of a dunk tank outside of your local carnival, step right up and get waterboarded by GAEREA! Yessir, pick me!
...not too sure about the nut shots though...ouchie.
Cathartic and beautiful for sure... 😢 Another masterpiece! ❤❤ Thank you Gaerea! 👏👏
Love from BR. 💚💛🖤🖤🖤💯
This band never disappoints. Every new creation they do brings them to a superior level… will there be a limit?!
Congrats !! Can’t wait to see live again.
Fav band right now.
I listened to this song once and liked it. But when I saw them at El Club in Detroit they played this song and I wept. I have no idea why and ive been to many shows and this has never happened before. It was also my second time seeing them. The song just moves my emotions and that's so rare. We are Gaerea.
WE ARE GAEREA
вообще круто!!! super
an expression of existence itself, despair made into music. Gaerea is always welcome
Really starting to go from liking, to loving this band
Gaerea sempre surpreendendo com sua arte incrível, Salve!
Of course Claudio Marino is behind this🔥
Not gonna lie, I forgot to breathe a few times while watching this😅 Crazy concept!
Stunning video and i cant wait to hear this monumental song live!

This is so damn good! Such raw emotion and energy! I can’t wait to see Gaerea on 10/11 at the Baltimore Soundstage live.

I relate to this pain so much

🤘thank you for new song
I feel you Guilherme !
thank you so mutch !
We are Gaerea 🤘🤘🤘
Espetacular. Essa música lembra algo de Behemoth, porém muito mais violenta e infernal.
I don't want to sully the emotion of the final moments of this song by putting them to words, but suffice it to say; this is some powerful stuff.
It felt way longer than 8 minutes.
I still dunno how I feel after watching this.
I want to support this band so much! I liked the music, since I saw them live I love them! So Gaerea, tell me, after buying almost all of your merch, how to support you the best?
gorgeous
This is absolutely harrowing. Chills start to finish. Feels like the human experience laid bare. Thank you
Same here, I had chills all over, especially the last section. GAEREA!
Somos Gaerea para sempre.
Water boarding is inhuman!
Gaerea: sure...
💪🏻🤘🏻♥️
Wonderful band 🦉🖤
Excelente Clipe
Excelente Música
#GaereaNoSummerBreezeBrasil
This is fucking good! 🤘🏻🔥🤘🏻
Как всегда охренительно 👍🏻🤘🏻💀
I love the song but all I could think is are you ok? Can I get you a blanket maybe? Some cocoa? 😅
I love the way you can hear the crashing water come through in the quieter parts of the song, even for just a split second. It's reminding you that the ordeal hasn't stopped. It's still going. You're not allowed to look away or ignore it. Pay attention, because it's important.
This song (bonus track) was my favorite from Mirage.
🎧🖤
❤❤❤❤❤
Awsome
Thanks
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Incrível e belo trabalho. O preto e branco cria uma atmosfera realmente incomparável.
just saw them lastnight in denver. so fucking inspiring, they shifted something within myself. also their drummer is too sick lol
Voll cool ❤
Sick!! 😈🤘🏻
Claudio Marino very impressive as always
Gaerea never fails to impress me

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
🤘🏻🖤
GAEREA🤘🤘🤘
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
we are gaerea
I love the music, art and performance of Gaerea and I´m also a huge fan of Claudio Marino´s work, and this video is very captivating and beautiful. But 8 minutes of "waterboarding" is a bit long to watch.
🤘💧🤘
We are gaerea 🤟🤟🤟🤟
I hope the play that I'm going gets cancelled so I can watch this on time
موزیک ویدئو رو متوجه نشدم ولی ترک خوبی بود 🤟👍
Absolutely love this fucking song. This is literally sex to my ears. Absolutamente a melhor banda de Portugal!
I fucking love this
Holy shit.incredible song and video was insane. With that mask I imagine that was like being waterboarded for 8 minute....
Can't wait to see you all again in Baltimore!
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Being waterboarded for 8 minutes straight...damn.
Hypnotizing and raw. It draws you in to its cold empty expanse to experience the uncomfortable and beautiful entropy this is existence.
adorable like always🖤
Watching this video was also a torturous experience.
Gött
Referências absolutas no metal negro. Que gloriosa oportunidade acompanhar esta banda desde seu primeiro trabalho e testemunhar a evolução e a densidade deste magnífico e obscuro trabalho artístico. Saudações do sul do Brasil aos coirmãos. 🏴🏴🏴
