Acathexis

International atmospheric black metal The human condition is something highly variable and often volatile. It's a constant state of flux and it differs between each person afflicted with it. We try to feed it religion, sciences, philosophy—anything to give it meaning or stability. Yet, for such an intimate malady, there are often a lot of external factors that send the personal machine into meltdown. The machine senses the outside stressors and, in some cases, shuts itself down. The human becomes numb to the stimuli and the very things that are supposed to make it human. This tumultuous occurrence is what the international effort of Acathexis conveys. The trio of musicians came together in a rather unorthodox way. They were demos without a direction. It wasn't until their home, Fallen Empire Records, brought Belgium's Déhà (Yhdarl, Slow, Imber Luminis), California's Jacob Buczarski (Mare Cognitum), and, indirectly, Argentina's Dany Tee (In Element, Seelenmord, Downfall of Nur) together to form Acathexis. The veteran group of musicians has a fair share of experience between them. As one might expect, their first effort together is a scintillating debut of melodic and depraved black metal.
