"Schein" is the full lenght debut album of German Black Metal act ÄERA.
The 45-minute album takes you on a journey through the disillusioned world from the point of view of a man born in nature and decoupled from society. It is the story of pain, fear, longing and loss of humanity and its nature. Here ÄERA (ÄER = old German for Earth) uses stylistic elements of the atmospheric, partly post black metal. Äera sounds driving, powerful and earthy, as well as unruly and whispering at the same time.

Ewig hadernd in der Schwebe
Denn das Gleiten fällt so schwer
Der Geist will treiben mit dem Strom
Doch setzt mit Dornen sich zur Wehr
Selbsterkenntnis und Betrug
Kontrahieren im Verstand
Tausend Nadeln in der Haut
Ein ewig materndes Gewand
Nur eine leere Silhouette
Ohne Weg und ohne Ziel
Ein Schatten der sich krümmt und beugt
Wie verängstigtes Getier
War doch ihr Licht so Numinos
Als all die Nebel es durchbrach
War doch der Klang voll von Verheißung
Als sie im Zwielicht zu mir sprach
Die ewige Vision treibt endlos fort
Fordert Gaben allerorts
Splitter und Fragmente formen sich zum Mosaik
Zeichnen Formen hell und klar
Es wird ein Bildnis definiert
Doch die Essenz nie offenbart
War doch ihr Schein so voller Leben
Als all der Mauern er durchdrang
The atmosphere of this album is fantastic. Makes you feel like you're knee-deep in the trenches drenched in mud, filth, sweat, and blood. Truly encapsulates the horrors of World War I, and the fact that the lyrics of some of the songs are taken from old war letters really adds to the authenticity.
Favorite Track(s): Die Feuertaufe, Grabenlieder edoerfler
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
Another scorcher from the phenomenal one-man black metal outfit STARER, with mind-flaying riffs and eerie tremolo-picked melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 31, 2023
Crushing blackened doom from this German band that counterbalances blinding fury with moments of surprising, melancholy melody. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 8, 2023
What an impressive piece of black metal. This one-man hurricane is pure art. Sgah‘gahsowáh creates an haunting atmosphere. He puts so much soul in his music. Sælzer Bub
