South African piano doom/experimental artist Charles East has set 17 December as the release date for his debut full-length, Dislocated. The album will come out via Brucia Records on a special slipcase CD edition containing a 14-page booklet and digitally.
Phenomenally powerful, both visceral and funereal, and elegantly combining, Charles East has fantastically nuanced piano music with a mix of post-punk, gothic rock and doom metal.
Following the release of I Am Your Consequence EP, Dislocated is another fantastic showcase of talent and personality from Charles East - simultaneously gloomy and assaulting, spasmodically shifting from tender to desperate to furious, and again evoking all sorts of shadows to rise between the sparse and desperate chords of a lamenting piano, to then explode in fits of rage and anger.
Thematically, Charles East's music addresses darker themes ranging from intolerance, isolation, and obsession to self-loathing and the agony of life.
Charles East has recently shared the first album's single and video, "Resting In My Blood", featuring Eva O (Christian Death, Shadow Project, Super Heroines) as a guest vocalist.
Charles East is a classically trained pianist and singer-songwriter from South Africa. His debut EP, Ghouls, was self-released in 2015. In 2022, he released a new single, "Venom", followed in 2023 by a well-received cover version of "Dead Beat Dance" by The Damned, in collaboration with multi-instrumentalist and singer/songwriter Marisca Rain. In March 2024, Brucia Records released I Am Your Consequence EP, Charles East's first on-label EP. Link
