The Allegorist - Until Dawn
on Railways A Berlin Compilation V.A. at Detroit Underground
"Some sonic communities grow even in isolation, in the lonely obsessive moments in the studio as time melts away. Deep inside the Detroit Underground nests a Berlin underground, chasing those resonant shared sounds. DU Berlin draws together some of that love felt through music in the German capital. It’s not the wild city of reunification or *Berlin Calling* or tourist-style movies or the EasyJet set. This is the side of the city that endlessly romances machines for the sheer joy of it, as The Allegorist titles her track, “until dawn.” And with some big names and emerging, ranging from mainstays to veteran agitators, the Berlin DU crew have telegraphed each other through productions and mutual inspiration. The results vibrate and rumble with sympathetic frequencies, but are never limited to grayscale or dithered palettes."
The Allegorist‘s 4th album, The Blind Emperor, was released digitally and on vinyl on The Allegorist‘s label, Awaken Chronicles on the February 25th, 2022.
Vinyl: 200 limited edition 12“ Heavy Black Vinyl Record (180g) in 350g Outer Sleeve with 2-page insert.
The Blind Emperor, portrays the essence of a mythical land that tells of struggle that will lead to prosperity. The protagonist, The Blind Emperor, leads the charge into a brighter tomorrow. Like chapters from a novel, each track allows the listener to be carried by the story.
The opening track, ‚Redwinged Phoenix‘, sets the scene with comprehensive and earnest pads tunnelling out of the darkness. The yearning cry and rumbling percussion allude to a rising sensation as if it were breathing new life. Its en- compassing synths deliver an eagerness for triumph.
The second track, ‚Marching Crowd‘, has boot like drums slightly tinged with rub- bery acid to give velocity. The focused energy leads to an innate togetherness.
‚The Blind Emperor‘ is introduced with sacred sounds and reverenced cries. The hallowed introduction greets icy snares and a deep percussion. It embo- dies the character, revered for leading with esteem and conviction. They are not the perfect hero, but their turmoil has empowered them.
'The Sacrifice‘ is the lead single. It speaks about the challenges in life where a groundbreaking decision has to be made and priorities has to be set. In these moments our undeniable true core becomes visible and there will be no more lies. Sometimes our paths lead through struggle and arduous endea- vours and sometimes prosperity and fulfilment follows. The track is based around a choir as it guides the listener through precarious soundscapes while strength is juxtaposed with vulnerability. The choir, made up of many voices, was carefully designed from the artist‘s voice, singing in The Allegorist‘s self-intended language called ‚Mondoneoh‘. Its drawn-out and sombre pads divulge into cocooning yet vigorous fidelity.

‚The Sacrifice‘, comes with a music video created by the visual artist Pawel Mielnik and directed by The Allegorist. It depicts treacherous, portentous valleys; however, their hazardous na- ture leads to a shrine in the form of a captivating head within a mountain.

The Projekt Gestalten revision of the track Disillusion Echoes expands the idea of the original composition by supporting the melancholic chord progression with a new string section and highlighting the story, told by the soulful vocal cries. The pulsing techno elements not only give the track a new drive but also create a new atmosphere for the multidimensional emotion to thrive. They whirl up our rusty bones and create a space for the listener to embrace the feelings of loss, hope, and the love of life.
