heretic by violeer

the original version of heretic was recorded and mastered throughout the spring and early summer of 2025

however due to a hard drive malfunction all those recordings have been lost

this version of heretic represents 12 tracks recorded over 12 days throughout the early fall of 2025 using minimal droning electronics where the focus is my voice guiding the listener to bleak empty landscapes at a time where I struggled to exist at all

violeer

heretic

recorded in columbus ohio

in that concentrated space

where only the rage

retains its shape

august through october 2025

no coast

no sea

no eloquence of hope
