Screetus - Into The Ether (2024)

'Into the Ether' is a supernatural journey through the darkest depths of the human psyche, set to a diverse musical landscape that ranges from progressive rock ballads to experimental and pop-rock to metal, with bits of jazz and blues thrown in.

Spanning 69 minutes and five years in the making, the album is a visceral and emotional exploration of obsession, loneliness, rejection, suicide, vanity, violence, and rage, all tied together by the common theme of death.

The album's story follows a protagonist who is consumed by their own
obsession, leading them down a spiral of darkness and despair. They experience the depths of loneliness and rejection, and contemplate suicide as a way to escape their pain. Their vanity and rage fuel their descent into madness, and they eventually find themselves trapped in a supernatural realm where death is the only way out.
