Velatine - Till Death We Do Art
Velatine released the "Till Death We do Art". a song for the art and the artists!
"Till Death We Do Art" by Velatine, featuring Nocturna, is a sincere and bitter anthem dedicated to the relentless spirit of creatives. From Melbourne, Australia, Velatine's Loki Lockwood masterfully blends darkwave and gothic elements with cinematic overtones, creating a sound that is both familiar and uniquely "fresh". "Till Death We Do Art" perfectly encapsulates the never-ending cycle of an artist's life, the exciting moments of creation, the crushing lows of self-doubt, and the untiring desire to continue.
The song delves into the addictive pursuit of artistic excellence, where each new effort strives to surpass the last. It expresses the deeply personal journey of bringing a creation to completion, the internal battle to deem it "ready," and the ultimate, often painful, act of releasing it to the world. Velatine brilliantly captures the paradox of artistic satisfaction, the happier you are with your work, the more devastating the "fall" feels as you brace for public reception and the inevitable separation from your creation.
Just as the early gothic movement adopted experimentation, Velatine defies easy categorization, weaving in influences from post-punk, industrial, and more, delivering an intriguing listening experience. "Till Death We Do Art" is a strong sonic exploration of the creative process, a tribute to the enduring human need to make meaning, even when mixed with the despair of a perceived peak, only to find the next spark ignite the cycle again. It's a darkly beautiful and deeply resonant piece for anyone who understands the compulsion to create, no matter the cost.
"Till Death We Do Art" released on April 9th, 2025!
From Melbourne Australia, Velatine is an established project perched on the edge of darkwave and gothic from Australian producer / composer Loki Lockwood who injects a unique and fresh sound to these genres with cinematic overtones and dark lyrical aesthetics.
