Decline Of The I - Fifth Long Player Announced
French philosophic post-black metallers Decline Of The I will emerge with their fifth studio album, titled Wilhelm, on February 14th, 2025 via Agonia Records. The drums for the new album were recorded, mixed and mastered by Francis Caste at Studio Sainte Marthe in 2024. Other instruments were recorded at the band's personal studios. Decline Of The I also present a music video for the album's first single, "L' Alliance Des Rats", featuring guest vocals from T.C. (Regarde Les Hommes Tomber) and Vestal (Merrimack).
Conceptually, Wilhelm is based on the output of Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard and builds on the foundation of previous album, "Johannes" (2021), yet adds a more framed dimension to its music. "Ethics demand an internal code. Loops, repetitions, the relentless nature of a law, all run through the five tracks, spanning over 45 minutes," comments founder, 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."
