DECLINE OF THE I
WILHELM (GOLD VINYL)

Decline Of The I is a combination of multifaceted, post-black metal and exploratory lyrics, that dwell on topics of existential philosophy. Originating from France (Paris, Île-de-France),  the band was created by AK, who descends from a rich portfolio of past and on-going acts (including Vorkreist, Merrimack, The Order Of Apollyon, Neo Inferno 262, Malhkebre and  Diapsiquir). Decline Of The I is his most personal endeavor yet. The band's first three albums were inspired by the works of French surgeon and neurologist, Henri Laborit. "Wilhelm"  pursues a different approach, based on the output of Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard, and marks the second installment of a new trilogy, started by "Johannes" in 2021. The  album builds on the foundation of "Johannes" and adds a more framed dimension; a rigor, a backbone. It blends abrasive, avant-garde black metal with numerous samples, as well  as elements of electro and industrial music.
