Raphael Weinroth-Browne has shared an official video for his new song “Possession.” That track will appear on his new album “Lifeblood,” which will be available on October 3. Raphael said the following about the single:
“With ‘Possession’ I wanted to combine Arabic-inspired melodies and heavy grooves with the haunting, gothic atmosphere of Opeth and the cold, almost alien atonality of Meshuggah. This track originated as an improvised jam in maqam Saba, a scale associated with sadness and lamentation that appears in both Turkish and Arabic music. This early incarnation of the piece became a viral reel on Instagram before I decided to turn it into a fully-fledged composition. I feel that ‘Possession’ encapsulates my diverse influences and remains one of my most succinct and direct musical statements.”
