Veyl is pleased to welcome Velvet May for his debut LP on the label. ‘Enchanted By The Muse’ marks a new and exciting direction for the Italian-born, Berlin-based artist whose aesthetic focuses on post-punk, techno and industrial music. This album embodies May’s exploration and experimentation of various musical directions, reflecting a fusion of industrial, rock and electronic elements. It also symbolizes a new approach, spanning genres and styles and exploring his sound from every angle.
Conceptually, the album reflects a realm of emotional dissonance in an industrial desolation – where harsh electronic textures mingle with gritty industrial and rock elements. Also present are echoes of punk’s raw energy and adrenalinic drive, a musical journey through shifting moods and atmospheres, serving as a soundtrack to different aspects of life and capturing the essence of its high and lows.
From the opening track, ‘Now That You Have Left It All’, we are lured into a thrilling sonic dimension with a shot of energy that sets the stage for journey ahead. ‘Keep On Falling’ injects a dose of rock which we find throughout the record fused with the artist’s signature blend of post-punk, industrial and techno strains. Tracks like ‘The Outsider’ and ‘Slithering Serenade’ conjure raw, distorted rhythms and a menacing fuzz which bleeds out of the speakers while ‘Scales of Gold’ traverses back through infectious body and wave. ‘Illusion In Control’ is the perfect climax, a musical assault that shatters boundaries and blurs the lines between reality and fantasy.
