This record is just sooooooo heavy, and so crushing. Powerful music, powerful lyrics, and powerful vocals. Made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.
Favorite track: Apocalyptic Ignis Fatuus.

Here's some doom like no other. If you are looking for something that will take you out on a dark journey, this is it. Dense atmospheres, macabre arrangements, brutally beatifull lyrics. The Definitive soundtrack for the end of the world, no more words are needed.
Favorite track: The New Golgotha Repvbliq.
This is for those who are able to see the future, our gift as human beings in this world. The future of our culture has an end. The future of our society has an end. The individual future has an end, the structure which we are living in has weaknesses, everything will end, yet, we are here, aware of the future and we build together the new world against all odds.
We are the generation from the upcoming Glorious End. We create, destroy and then rebuild. We struggle as individuals to bring a better world for our children.
Our culture must not disappear, we have to glorify our forefathers, our ancestors and their teachings. Honour the past to bring a better future. Learn from our fathers' defeats, to bring victory upon this wretched world and defeat the enemy and honour mother nature.
Mother is nature.
Father is culture.
Father culture is dying, Mother nature is immortal.
This is the society we have entered in, the New Golgotha Repvbliq, it concerns us all in every continent, we must not enter into this place until we have confronted our shadows as individuals.

Divine mentions to Ludmila Kovalevskaya, always loved and remembered.
"Grotesque, affecting, and soul-crushing in length ‘NGR’ recalls the very best of classic funeral doom taken to a maddeningly loud extreme and there is some considerable feat in pulling this style out of the shadows and into the post-apocalyptic fallout of mankind."
-Grizzly Butts
"Songs like "Necropolis, The Backbone" and "The Sword That Came Out of His Mouth" are about as good as Funeral Doom gets, and they even manage a solid cover of Skepticism's "Nothing" to top it all off. Not to be missed."
-Metal Crypt
"At no time during this album does anything feel comfortable. The riffs are abrasive, the atmospheric feel tingling the skin and bewitching in equal measure. It’s a difficult listen, but the rewards are worth it. If you can tolerate the sheer intensity of this work, then absorbing oneself into The New Golgotha Repvbliq is an amazing and wondrously blackened experience. "
-Musipedia of Metal
"Omination, probably the best metal act coming out of Tunisia, create lumbering, orchestral marches like a medieval mass in a collapsing cathedral in the middle of its implosion. ... goddamn this shit is good. ... Omination have here done things I could have never anticipated. Strongly recommended."
-Deaf Sparrow
"Omination sounds exactly like no other band, yes there are some influences, but their sound is truly unique and crushing."
-Infernal Masquerade
""NGR" is a diverse, unique doom metal album that is a pleasure to listen to for its entire run time. There isn’t any album or any band in doom that sounds like this."
-Metal Temple
Funeral doom death metal act defined as post-apocalyptic, Started as a one-man project by Fedor Kovalevsky. The music and overall atmosphere are derived from the last cathedral, preached by the prophesying wanderer.
A truly stellar death/doom album with heavy doses of black metal. Tracks like Isolation, Child of Light, and Broken Hymns deliver the sorrowful and icy tone of this album, elevated by the stirring cello compositions of Raphael Weinroth-Browne. The album delivers a deeply satisfying crescendo in Becoming Intangible before stirring the soul once again with Epilogue. Matt Richardson
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
