Today, we’ve gotten the news that a new The Ember, The Ash album called Fixation is coming this spring, and its first single is a whole lot shorter and harder than anything I’ve yet heard from 鬼.įixation‘s first single and opening track is called “Strychnine,” and it’s a frantic, furious two-and-a-half-minute wallop with a screeching guitar riff and a growling fight-music energy. In 2019, The Ember, The Ash released the debut album Consciousness Torn From The Void, and it was essentially black metal with some metalcore leanings. 鬼’s other one-man band is called The Ember, The Ash, and it embraces more of a metallic, seesawing post-hardcore sound. But 鬼 also has another musical project, and that one is really different. Last year, 鬼 released three Unreqvited albums - Mosaic II: La Détesse Et La Détresse, Disquiet, and Emphatica - as well as Nocturne, a split EP with the Japanese band Asunojokei.
