Eerie dark black metal side project of Unreqvited sole member

This is not the first time Avantgarde Music crosses paths with 鬼. The
Canadian multi-instrumentalist whose signature is the kanji for 'ghost' is
the hyper-creative mind behind blackgaze/post-black metal one-man band
Unreqvited, from whom we had the pleasure to release Stars Wept To The
Sea in 2018.
Now 鬼 is back with a brand-new project by the name The Ember, The
Ash. Forget all about blackgaze and starry nights, as debut album
Consciousness Torn From The Void is the darkest side of the ghost.
Talking to Invisible Oranges, 鬼 expressed his feelings about The Ember,
The Ash and embarking on a new project: 'There's a lot going on currently
in my personal life and in my loved ones' personal lives that I'm struggling
to cope with. I think that's the primary reason I've been writing so much
music. (...) I would describe the tone as extremely somber and depressive,
but lyrically there is typically some relief from that feeling as each track
comes to an end'.
Paramount in Consciousness Torn From The Void sounds are definitely
DSBM milestones from the '90s and early '00s such as Xasthur and
Leviathan, where old school sounds and an essential production merge into
ambient/keyboard soundscapes. Riffs cutting like blades, lung-piercing
screams and a plumbeous mood are the pillars on which The Ember, The
Ash builds his music, where the ember is a symbol for life and the ash is
the image of death.
