DECLINE OF THE I Stream New Album “Wilhelm”, Out Now

French troubled black metallers DECLINE OF THE I are streaming their new studio album  “Wilhelm” which was released on February 14th via Agonia Records. Order the album at https://declineofthei.com

Listen to the album here:

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.

“Wilhelm” builds on the foundation of “Johannes” and adds a more framed dimension; a rigor, a backbone. “Ethics demand an internal code. Loops, repetitions, the relentless nature of a law, all run through its five tracks, spanning over 45 minutes,” comments AK. “It blends abrasive, avant-garde black metal with numerous samples, as well as elements of electro and industrial music. A constrained dive into the angst of ethics.”

The drums for the new album were recorded, mixed and mastered by Francis Caste at Studio Sainte Marthe in 2024. Other instruments were recorded ta the band’s personal studios. T.C. (Regarde Les Hommes Tomber) sang guest vocals on the song “L’Alliance Des Rats”, while Vestal (Merrimack) is the author of spoken words on “L’ Alliance Des Rats” and “The Renouncer”. The artwork was designed by Dehn Sora (Blut Aus Nord, Deathspell Omega). New band photos were shot by William Lacalmontie. The music video for the lead single “L’ Alliance Des Rats” was recorded by Laura-Lee Soleman.

Tracklisting:
1. L’ Alliance Des Rats
2. Entwined Conundrum
3. Diapsalmata
4. Éros N
5. The Renouncer

Line-up:
AK – guitars, keyboards, vocals
SI – vocals
AD – bass
SK – drums

SAMANTHA FISH Announces New Album “Paper Doll” + Reveals New Single ‘Sweet Southern Sounds’

One of the most electrifying guitarists of her generation, Samantha Fish, has consistently captivated audiences with her unparalleled energy, boldness, emotional depth and unique blend of rock and soul. Known for her expressive guitar playing and powerhouse performances, Fish’s career hit warp speed with the release of her last album, 2023’s Death Wish Blues, which hit #1 on the Billboard Blues Chart, and earned her a Grammy nomination, plus invitations to support The Rolling Stones, Jon Spencer, Slash and more.

This April, the Kansas City-bred, New Orleans-based musician will unveil her fiercest work to date with a new studio album Paper Doll (Rounder Records). Produced by Detroit garage-rock legend Bobby Harlow (The Go) – with assistance from fellow Detroit luminary Mick Collins (The Gories) on one track – each of the songs on Paper Doll are delivered with visceral force, soul-soothing empathy, and newfound clarity. “It’s taken me years to finally find my voice in a studio setting,” Fish admits. “But with this record, I took everything I had and slammed it right on the table.” The theme of unapologetic defiance runs throughout the album, as Fish explores new depths of vulnerability and self-expression and confronts love, loss, and personal growth.

Tracked in Austin at The Orb and Los Angeles at Savannah Studios, the 9-song collection was recorded during a gruelling touring schedule, ultimately capturing the untamed energy of her live performances. “I’d never made a record on the road like that,” Fish reveals. “Even though it was intense, it felt good to keep up the momentum from the live show. It helped us make an album that’s got a real living, breathing pulse to it.” The album features touring bandmates Ron Johnson (bass), Jamie Douglass (drums), and Mickey Finn (keys).

With the announcement, Fish has released the album’s lead single “Sweet Southern Sounds.” Co-written with fellow New Orleans-based singer-songwriter Anders Osborne, the track is a gripping meditation on the struggle to balance passion and personal connections, topped with smoldering riffs and lush organ melodies.

“It’s an anthem about being on the road and feeling guilty about not prioritizing the people in your life,” says Fish. “It’s hard to find that balance between taking care of your relationships and dedicating yourself to your music, and there’s definitely a tinge of heartache to that song.”

Fish will tour across the US and UK throughout 2025, including dates with Christone “Kingfish” Ingram, plus performances at JazzFest and more. For tickets and all upcoming tour dates please visit https://www.samanthafish.com/tour/.
