SØLVE reissues influential album "the negative"
SØLVE, the solo project of Brant Showers (∆AIMON, Bestial Mouths), has had its debut album remastered and rereleased via Re:Mission Entertainment. "the negative" became a huge hit upon launch in 2016 and has had its fair share of rotation within the dark electronic scene. Boasting influences from industrial, witch house, and dark atmospheric sound design, Brant Showers used the album as a way to explore difficult personal concepts of self-destruction, anima / desire, and ritualism. You can stream / purchase the album below.

Speaking on "the negative", Brant Showers had this to say:
The first SØLVE album, ‘the negative,’ came together through a personal need to explore aspects of myself that I saw as having the potential of becoming destructive and dangerous if i didn’t take the time to analyze, deconstruct, and individuate them within a more complete self. The process of addressing these traits was difficult and deeply uncomfortable, but lead to much broader personal discoveries and insights. Rather than simply representing this process, ‘the negative’ IS the process; my alchemical and spiritual way of confronting my shadow, breaking down and rebuilding from a deeper sense of understanding.
In the five years since its release, I have continued along this path, using the SØLVE project as my vehicle for ritualistic exploration and personal growth/acceptance/discovery - but these days I’ve often found myself slipping a bit into this darker mind-set again. Thankfully, revisiting this album has been an incredible reminder of the progress I’ve made and just how incredibly blessed I am to have such encouragement and support from so many along this journey. And with this in mind, this newly remastered edition of ‘the negative’ has taken on new intention - a ritual emboldened with the foresight of outcome, and I welcome you all to experience it from a clear perspective

I love the dark electronic underground and usually have too much to listen to at once but I love it. I am also an editor at Aggressive Deprivation, a digital/physical magazine since March of 2016. I support the scene as much as I can from my humble laptop.
