The Ember, The Ash release new song ‘Fixation’

THE EMBER, THE ASH have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled Fixation, is the title track from the solo project from a musical polymath known only as 鬼, which is scheduled to be released in May this year, via Prosthetic Records.

The seven tracks that make up the album were written in 2019/20 before being entirely self-recorded and mixed in their home studio; mastering was handled by Nekkomix. With a theme that picks through the debris of mental illness, 鬼 drew upon their own experiences of witnessing a loved one suffer through a traumatic episode. Exploring their own reaction to the fraught timeline of events, 鬼 channels their emotional response into the lyrics and music that make up Fixation.

Speaking about the new song, 鬼 says, “Fixation is a short anecdote about sowing a seed of hatred towards the self and towards society, as well as the mental anguish of realizing one’s neurotic obsession with their own demise; the formation of the seemingly endless struggle of chaos and despair, and the awareness that they have become utterly bankrupt of life. Sonically, is one of the most relentless and oppressive tracks on the record.”
