Ten years after the release of the debut album Posthuman Decadence, the Belgian darkwave/neofolk artist Art Of Empathy returns with the album End Of I. Empathy reflects our social and moral nature and is broadly defined as the ability to understand, experience, and identify with the feelings, thoughts, and experiences of others. Displaying empathy constitutes a form of art that enables people to connect with each other in a world where antisocial, selfish behavior is often not only encouraged but praised.
Sculpted out of acoustic guitars, dark synths, bombastic orchestration, and pounding percussion, skillfully carved with vocals ranging from intimate, hunting whispers to loudly chanting choirs, End Of I embodies a vision and a hope: that humans transcend the current individualistic way of life and attune to the whispers of other humans, species, and mother Earth, as we are all part of the same living network.
The essence and true sound of Art Of Empathy are reflected throughout the entire album, which is rich in lyrics and quotations and spans no less than 12 tracks and 71 minutes. End Of I may be a lot to digest in times when everything tends to be flashy and superficial, but any work that is poised to elicit self-reflection and re-evaluation is not for the faint of heart. End Of I was necessary and worth waiting for.
Previously announced limited collector's mediabook edition of the album will be released on 26th June through Aenaos Records, but the album is already available as a self-released digital edition, available as "name your price" from Bandcamp, and as well you can give it a listen in its entirety in the player below. Check out Art Of Empathy, you'll not regret to discover this piece of dark musical art. Link
