Insect Ark

Raw Blood Singing - the band’s fourth full-length - offers a sonic landscape which vascillates between sensory overload and isolation in a seething void. It marks a rebirth for Insect Ark, with a crushing weight and vicious sensual delicacy elevated by the all-new addition of Schechter’s smoky, bruised-angel vocals, which deliver deep melodic hooks to the visceral layers of noisy gothic-noir lap steel guitar and bass, crackling drums, and haunted synthesizers.

Many of the songs on Raw Blood Singing were written alone in 2020/2021 by Schechter; they were gutted, reworked, and rebirthed when Wyskida joined in late 2021. Fearlessly shape-shifting, Insect Ark has continued to defy simple genre-categorizations, weaving together the outer reaches of metal, goth, avant garde drone, doom and experimental noise. The new songs bristle with a tactile sense of aliveness. Vast, boundless riffs fuse with silvery, snaking refrains. Chaos consumes structure, releasing extreme dynamics and moments of deafening silence.
