Gaerea Shares a New Standalone Single and Video for “Submerged” – Sign to Century Media Records for New Album in 2026


Gaerea is nothing short of a beautiful enigma rooted in musical extremity and utter passion. In just under a decade, the masked collective, born in the Portuguese town of Porto, has navigated countless darkened shades of metal, post-rock and artistry.
