about

Monday, February 26th Fiadh Productions welcomes The Wretch with two releases. First up - “Filaments” is 8 tight tracks fusing atmospheric black metal with breakcore, synthwave and post punk alongside a narrative flow mined from film reels. This album explores the arc from failure to resolve to conclusion. To give Filaments context, “Embers” is a collection of tracks from the first 20 years of the project - a wild ride through cinematic industrial breakcore punctuated by strong melodic and textural exploration and an irreverent use of archival public film reel samples. These tracks formed the foundation for self-reference in moving towards a revived sound for the new album.

Please support the artist directly for all digital-only purchases:

We are done waiting
We are broken but not beaten
Finally seeing the strength within
Finally finding the voice to scream
While we have strength to stand we will fight to feel alive
While we have blood pumping we will find love to give

Filaments is the sound of feeling defeated and broken, yet aware. Of knowing that even though things have fallen out of our control, that there is ugliness everywhere, we still must find our voice, we still must act with love and tell our story. And we must embrace the beauty of brokenness.

This album finds Michael Weeks re-igniting this project with new sounds, ideas, and feelings. 8 tracks fusing atmospheric black metal with breakcore, synthwave and post punk alongside a narrative flow mined from film reels.

The Wretch is Michael Weeks, also featuring Darren Halm, Eric Schlappi and a host of assorted guests.

De l'importance du titre ou Comment une juxtaposition de mots savamment choisis permettra à l'auditeur attentif de repérer chez Old Nick une transition vers un cadre spatio-temporel plus proche de l'ère victorienne gothique, confirmée par les clavecins et cuivres au synthé, mais aussi de parodier le contexte susmentionné, parodie amplifiée par un raw black metal chaotique : un essai au sujet de T.N.O.T.A.A.T.P.B.T.Q.A.S.F.A.B.O.O.T.D.O.S.S.T.T.E.V.H.S mené par Sir Jordan Vauvert en l'an 2024.
