Samira Arianne says:
"This album means a lot to me.
It represents a clear reality as my life has been in all these years in a music scene where all they do is criticize and contribute nothing.
Why is the title based on misanthropy? very simple, for years I had an internal struggle to be able to socialize with people. This struggle cost me a lot and I still continue to have it, especially in a society where they judge you for being a transgender woman.
It hasn't been easy for me but you need to walk in my shoes to be able to feel this fucking hate, pain and remorse; trauma, bullying and mental abuse due to humans.
Every fucking day is a fight against the world to be able to prevail even though they always try to make me the worst because of certain posts I made years ago.
Year 2024 and they're still doing the same shit.
Record companies rejecting me for gossiping, but these labels are even more idiotic who pay attention to idiots, this shows their fucking unprofessional level. They rot with their garbage from projects worse than mine.
It is a completely instrumental album but each melody is unique and based on something personal or some unique thought.
While doing the whole thing I was learning how to mix sounds, put them together and make them sound more professional.
Honestly, in this album you are going to hear different musical subgenres as if they were a prism. I managed to mix them in a unique way.
I don't think there is a project of this kind, a black metal logo but with a pentagram pointing upwards, making different styles in its single album. You need to be mentally prepared to listen to it. If you are a purist person and you are one of those who, even in 2024, still have the fucking idea that you must be the most trve kvlt, this album is not for you.
With this I leave you and I hope to receive the support of those who love music and do not get carried away by stereotypes.
Subscribes & gift me a like or comment how was your experience while listening the songs."

PRESS RELEASE:
One-Man Tech-Death Band ASHES OF MOMENTS PERISHED present "Clairvoyant Evanesce." A stand-alone single, the song weaves through an intricate maze of sonic and emotional tapestries.
As a somewhat conceptual release, "Clairvoyant Evanesce" centers around a soul eternally bound between life and death by its own volition, perceiving the perpetual flow of time that inevitably ceases with death. Although aware that their death has come and they must pass, the soul is ultimately unable to move onto an afterlife due to being stuck in the past, unable to let their past mistakes and regrets go. This concept, while tapping into macabre fiction, can be viewed as a symbol for those who feel imprisoned or shackled by anxiety and/or depression and unfortunately struggle with immense feelings of pain, guilt, or regret for things they have been subjected to in the past that are unwittingly controlling their present and future actions.
Stream "Clairvoyant Evanesce" on Bandcamp, Spotify, and Apple Music.
This new offering of brutal technical death metal was masterminded by guitarist, vocalist, and overall songwriter, Isaac Rice; and follows AoMP's 2023 EP critically-praised, Womb in Black Flame.
Combining pummeling brutality with fast-paced technicality, Isaac set out to make ASHES OF MOMENTS PERISHED his vision of a melting pot of everything extreme and aggressive, yet melodic and memorable.

House of the Black Geminus
by Akhlys
Tracklist:
1.The Mask of Night-speaking
2.Maze of Phobetor 07:35
3.Through the Abyssal Door
4.Black Geminus
5.Sister Silence, Brother Sleep 09:56
6.Eye of the Daemon - Daemon I
AKHLYS was created by Naas Alcameth (NIGHTBRINGER, BESTIA ARCANA) in 2009 to serve as a voice for the muse that arises from the dark lands between death and dreams through chilling ambient darkness.
Since that time AKHLYS has been slowly fleshed anew, arising again as a dark ambient and black metal unification, the reification of a dream sojourn through the chambers of Yesod.
Following 2020's widely-worshipped "Melinoë", AKHLYS, the globe's premier channelers of abyssal nightmare, return triumphant with six elaborate and exhilarating new tracks of pure Black Metal terror.
Drawing from esoteric and mythical traditions, where the land of dreams is placed within the darkness of the underworld, arises the "House of the Black Geminus". Through labyrinthine halls, shadowed corridors, cellars of dread, and attics of epiphany, as ordeal and ecstasy meet at the vertices where each beholds his own daemon.
With AKHLYS now a monumental live entity, the visceral power of the stage is evident in the band's most all-encompassing, destructive and diabolically grand-sounding record-to-date.
"House of The Black Geminus" is a display of frightening dominance. Combining intense Black Metal with elements of Dark Ambient and Death Industrial, AKHLYS unite psychological horror, orchestrated bludgeon and eerie foreboding on a harrowing journey into pandemonic majesty.

Raw Blood Singing
by Insect Ark
Tracklist:
1.Birth of a Black Diamond
2.The Frozen Lake 07:29
3.Youth Body Swayed 07:06
4.Cleaven Hearted
5.The Hands
6.Psychological Jackal
7.Inverted Whirlpool
8.Ascension
Formed in 2011, INSECT ARK is the Berlin-based duo of American artists Dana Schechter (SWANS) on bass/lap steel/synth/vocals, and drummer/percussionist Tim Wyskida (KHANATE, BLIND IDIOT GOD).
"Raw Blood Singing" - INSECT ARK's fourth full-length - is the captivating result of a year spent writing. Sharing an obsession with innovation and distillation, the duo merged to create a sonic landscape which vacillates between sensory overload and isolation in a seething void. Many of the songs on "Raw Blood Singing" were penned alone in 2021 by Schechter; they were gutted, reworked and rebirthed when Wyskida joined in 2022.
The outer realms of avant-Metal, psych-Doom, and experimental Goth intersect here, but INSECT ARK fiercely refuses the trappings of simple genre categorization. The band weave a lush, bleak, vast and expansive landscape as they move from whispers of synth to a monstrous wall-of-sound via Schechter's blistering lap steel playing, diabolical bass-work and the mammoth, searing power of Wyskida's drums.
The album title is deeply rooted in the concept of evolution - on both a human and a universal scale – stories of physical beings bound by equal parts unchangeable matter and malleable, shape-shifting energy. The music, too, has evolved beyond INSECT ARK's origin as an instrumental band, adding for the first-time the deep honeyed poison of Schechter's vocals. Showing a penchant for crafting haunted and memorable melodies, the contrast of her smoky voice with the spare, brutal music feels both uncomfortably intimate and icy cold.
