Free download : archive.org/details/eg0_117

Spleen is an one-man project from Serbia which mixes dark ambient and atmospheric rock. Detest is an epic concept album dealing with the theme of misanthropy. It starts with an hypnotic ritual sequence, but later tracks also contains lots of industrial rock elements. All along the album, bleak drones, crushing guitar riffs, pounding rythms and haranguing voices join their forces to take the listener into a world of morbid fixations and reclusive anger . If you are not afraid to explore the depth of such negative feelings, Detest will be a perfect soundtrack for your dark ruminations.

Notes by the artist:

"My hate is general, I detest all men;
Some because they are wicked and do evil
Others because they tolerate the wicked
Refusing them the active vigorous scorn
Which vice should stimulate in virtuous minds"

Molière's character Alceste in Le Misanthrope (1666)

“I don't hate people. I just feel better when they aren't around.” Charles Bukowski

Spleen is music coming from the most secret and dark part of our soul that cannot be seen with the eyes - our primal nature! Dark ambient, experimental, drone musick is conjuring the occult hidden spheres of myself representing complete freedom when viewed from the highest plane of thought. Spleen is escape from the suffering of this world through aesthetic enjoyment, rejecting my humanity.
