Three years after their debut album ‘When My Darkness Came To Light’, Exploited Body has returned with their new album ‘Here, I Abandon’.

‘Here, I Abandon’ marks a new beginning, documenting the grievous first steps on the path of healing. The title references reaching a point, where all that doesn’t serve oneself must be left behind. The record is an exercise in “noise pop”, featuring prominent vocals from Exploited Body while combining their signature blistering distortion with their love of catchy melodies.

The album opens with ‘Only Your Eyes Could See My Wings’, a fragile and minimal ballad dedicated to their partner, who helped them find their way out of their pain-shrouded mind. Emerging from the fog, echoing vocals and thunderous piano drones lead into the disarmingly vulnerable vocal passage, the most personal song Exploited Body has ever shared with the world. ‘Demon Of Hatred’ is a slow-burning mantra about ending the cycle of trauma that began long ago, that manifests itself as a rage-filled beast. The screeching metal and cavernous bells collide under the somber vocals until it’s all ripped to shreds by violent pillars of noise. ‘After All (In The Ruins Of Limerence)’ deals with losing oneself in another person and awakening from the fever dream that is limerence. Along with the swinging vocal melodies, the dissonant mechanical humming break out into an onslaught of distorted kick drums before dissolving into harmonic bliss.

‘Replacing A Scar With Another’ explores themes of self-sabotage and self-harm, how we often reject help that is offered to us, creating new wounds to tend to instead of mending the old ones and trading old harmful beliefs into new even more detrimental ones (“replacing a god with another”). ’Self-Surrender’ is about shame, self-deception, requesting others to ‘hold your light’ until the sun’s out while you wallow in the dark abyss of self-pity, but now the time to has come to face yourself. The ethereal production paired with a delicate melody is reminiscent of a haunting lullaby with ghostly voices creaking in the midst of ringing synths, before everything comes to a head for a disjointed crescendo.’ Abandon’ is the purge that marks the point of no return, stripping off your weakness piece by piece, like an exorcism through the brutal wall of noise that the song builds up to. The closing track ‘Tear Me Apart Until All That’s Left Is Love’ is the bittersweet moment of letting yourself disintegrate and splinter into pieces to make room for what lies at the core of it all. A soft landing back into your body, before the colossal aftershock kicks in and sends you on your way to what comes next.

The album is written, produced, mixed and mastered by Nori Kin and features artwork by Changeless-affiliated Helsinki-based photographer Markus Watkins & Nori Kin.

ESTATE is the debut AKHET Edizioni issue: an assemblage of unreleased works contributed by the many artists who participated in AKHET’s first year of site-specific programming in Naples historic centre.

The 26-track compilation features Aspec(t), Ausschuss, Cadaver Mike, Canedicoda, CECILIA, Ciro Vitiello, Compsa, D.Ham, Deskulling, Eks, Elisha Morningstar, Elvin Brandhi, Eraclio, Flora Yin-Wong, Forest Factory, Franco Franco, I Jahbar, Koenraad Ecker, las vegan, Le grand K, Lorenzo Abattoir, Luigi Monteanni, MIIIN---AMOR, Nocturnerror, NPLGNN, NZIRIA, Radford Electronics, Rabit, Renato Grieco, Sara Persico, STILL, Talpah, Tarawangsawelas, Tati au Miel, and Yokel, serving as a convergence of dissonant practices and collective gestures. Traversing the volatile terrains of noise, improvised sound, avant-garde folk, experimental rap, and post-club mutations, each piece embodies the tension between transient environments and enduring creative dialogues.

ESTATE, the Italian word for “summer”, concludes AKHET’s first cycle of programming. This cycle, reflecting on the impermanence of seasons, unfolded through three mini-festivals ("Autunno", "Inverno" and "Primavera") and a traveling review ("Caldo Astratto"). In a time when seasons melt into one another and winter feels disturbingly melded, ESTATE serves as a temporal marker, reimagined here amidst shifting climatic and cultural cycles.

Conceived as both artifact and reusable ephemeral, the release materializes as a limited edition of 101 tin cans designed by Canedicoda, each containing a USB microchip and other delicacies, while photographs by Salvatore Pastore document its materiality. The digital artwork by Augusto Fabio Cerqua extends this material dimension into a visual language that resonates with the conceptual and aesthetic framework of the release.

Curated by AKHET.

Mastered by Heba Kadry (Track 1) and Guido Marziale (Tracks 2 to 26).
Design by Canedicoda.
Photography by Salvatore Pastore.
Artwork by Augusto Fabio Cerqua.

"An ellipsis on the ring, a demoagent stuck in another crony sample. 
We are on a soft surface far from rational views, there is a rejection of structurality, and the prescribed dosages of time capsules do not increase returns and consciously the effect of ambivalence, the background rises and the foreground is noisy with patterns, sharply exclaiming, just as quickly fading. completely undeveloped, unbridled streams that literally mark nothing.
Noreturn Livid Spikes." - YancityGurl
