Visual artist and music producer Wlav has emerged from the depths of obscurity with a mesmerizing new album, ‘Meat,’ marking a pivotal moment in the evolution of electro-creepcore. Born out of a unique fusion of horror-inspired visuals and unsettling tunes, Wlav‘s latest creation is set to redefine the boundaries of experimental electronica.
Tracing roots back to 1150 BC, when Wlav was mysteriously sealed away until their reemergence in 2016 AD, the artist’s journey has been nothing short of enigmatic. From the confines of a local movie theater, where they found solace in devouring popcorn off screening room floors, to crafting their distinct soundscapes inspired by horror films, Wlav‘s trajectory embodies a narrative both haunting and captivating.
Describing themselves as a digital monster, Wlav channels influences from the occult, horror media, and real-life tales of terror into a sonic universe that celebrates the weird, the bizarre, and the downright spine-chilling. With a catalogue boasting four albums and a collection of EPs, Wlav has carved out a niche all their own, captivating audiences with their unapologetically raw and unconventional artistry.
‘Meat,’ Wlav‘s fourth studio album, serves as the genesis of the electro-creepcore genre, pushing boundaries with its gritty soundscapes and visceral visuals. Each track on the album offers a journey into the depths of filth and queerness, embracing the unconventional with unbridled fervor. Produced entirely on a refurbished MacBook, ‘Meat‘ embodies a lo-fi and raw aesthetic that captures the essence of Wlav’s creative vision.
Speaking about the album, Wlav describes it as “the audio equivalent of scooping up a nice wad of hair from the shower drain and eating it.” It’s a statement that encapsulates the album’s unapologetic embrace of the grotesque and the macabre, inviting listeners to immerse themselves in a world where beauty is found in the darkest corners of existence.
‘Meat‘ marks Wlav‘s debut on R.O.D. Records, an independent Italian DIY label known for championing boundary-pushing artists. With this release, Wlav invites audiences to join them on a journey into the unknown, where the lines between horror and beauty blur, and the only constant is the unyielding pursuit of artistic expression.
