Gaerea are ‘Hellbound’ and announce new album ‘Loss’ for 2026 release

After plunging into aquatic darkness with “Submerged” Portugal’s masked GAEREA are “Hellbound” now. Watch them burn like fire in another video from Tre Film here: https://youtu.be/9N5Ge0-9xQM

The band comments:

“’Hellbound’ is an intense and cathartic track, diving deep into themes of guilt, heartbreak, and self-destruction. With searing riffs and visceral vocals, it captures the tension between vulnerability and aggression, love and betrayal. Vivid imagery of fire, thorns, and restless ghosts amplifies its raw emotional weight, making it both haunting and empowering.”

This is GAEREA at their most uncompromising: a song that resonates with listeners drawn to dark, emotional, and confrontational music. 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”.
“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. It finds GAEREA emerging from creative chrysalis and bursting into something as engaging as it is unexpected: 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.
