Blending the raw aggression of early Wax Trax, 90s-inspired industrial with cinematic darkwave atmospheres and hard-earned poetic insight, the album unfolds across gritty city streets and the shadowed corners of the mind, where desire blurs with danger and monsters move in silence.
Curse channels the ghosts of self-destruction, martyrdom, and revelation across tracks like Doomed for Monday, Time Comes Clean, and The Kindness of Serpents.
His voice drips with urgency, steeped in internal collapse and spiritual trespass. From the grief-stricken ache of Blood Like Love to the nocturnal paranoia of lead single Vertigo Ego which asks, “What monsters come after you, when you are alone in the dark?”
The album explores the liminal space between identity and illusion. A darkwave exorcism for the fractured self, it resonates with fans of Clan of Xymox, HEALTH, Skinny Puppy, Gary Numan, Twin Tribes, Coil, and Front 242.
Fueled by modular synths, jackhammer beats, spectral drones, and disembodied spoken word samples, IMAGINARY ENEMIES pulses with post-pandemic urgency and late-night mystery. Mackey’s ritualistic vocal delivery cuts like a psychic transmission, charting an intimate descent through fear, ecstasy, and invisible wars within. This is music for the haunted hours: heavy, seductive, volatile, and uncomfortably honest.
The album concludes a trilogy that began with Instant Exorcism (2019) and deepened with Immoral Emporium (2022). Where Exorcism confronted internal chaos and Emporium explored societal decay, Enemies is a haunting culmination, mourning creative and personal losses while reaching for redemption in the wreckage. Blood Like Love serves as its aching heart: a poetic elegy rendered in grief-soaked melody and lyrical fire.
