Gaerea unleashes new single “Phoenix” from upcoming album

Author Teemu Hakala - 14.1.2026

Portuguese black metal outfit Gaerea has released a new single titled “Phoenix”. The track continues the band’s recent run of new material and arrives as another glimpse into their next full length album “Loss”.

“Phoenix” leans heavily into the band’s bleak and atmospheric core, while pushing their sound toward sharper dynamics and a more dramatic emotional pull. At the same time, the song balances raw aggression with moments that feel almost ritualistic, reinforcing the band’s focus on atmosphere as much as intensity. As a result, the track feels both familiar and forward looking.

Moreover, “Phoenix” fits naturally alongside earlier singles that introduced the direction of “Loss”. The upcoming album continues Gaerea’s exploration of despair, inner struggle, and transformation, themes that have defined their output since the beginning. However, the band now approaches these ideas with a broader sonic palette and tighter songwriting.

Since emerging from Portugal’s underground scene, Gaerea has steadily built an international reputation through relentless touring and visually striking live performances. Consequently, expectations around “Loss” are high, especially among fans of modern black metal that values both atmosphere and physical impact.

The album is now available for pre-order through the band’s official store and various retailers.
