Influenced by the likes of Altar of Plagues, Deafheaven and Celeste, Buenos Aires based FENECE continue their quest across the breathtaking, bleak desert of ambient filled blackgaze and almost frightening soundscapes laced with stories about spirituality, death, dogmas and the boundaries between the immanent and the intangible horror. Today, we have teamed up with them to give you the first hearing of the record in its entirety below.
Fenece is a project that uses sublimation in its music to openly expose horror. Asked about their take on the new record, they commented: “The emergence of consciousness turned humans into biological puppets, a result of a blind mutation of nature, from which we are no longer are a part of. We are entities that have the illusion of being someone, when in fact we are nothing.”
“Consciousness manifested in its most pure and full form gives us more than we can handle, and that is why it should be mitigated, or even silenced.” – they continue. “We bind ourselves to isolation because it allows us to look the other way and ignore the empty and cold abyss. We look for anchorage in metaphysical or institutional truths such as gods, doctrines, leaders and flags. Anchorage is what makes es feel real, worthy and superior.”

Anchorage
You beg for forgiveness
You lie in communion with fear
There is not just one moral code
Distraction
My conscience gives me more than I can handle
Being nothing
Sterile
Leave the earth in silence
The river of hollow voices drags you in
Give up
Death comes too late
