ART OF EMPATHY

END OF I
Limited Collector’s Media Book Edition out June 26 / Free Album Download included.

10 years after the release of “Posthuman Decadence”, the Belgian artist ART OF EMPATHY returns with the
album “End Of I”. Empathy reflects our social and moral nature and is broadly defined as the ability to
understand, experience, and identify with the feelings, thoughts, and experiences of others. Displaying empathy
constitutes a form of art that enables people to connect with each other in a world where antisocial, selfish
behavior is often not only encouraged but praised.

“Solitude is bliss, but strength is in numbers.” (AOE, 2020)

Sculpted out of acoustic guitars, dark synths, bombastic orchestration, and pounding percussion, skillfully carved
with vocals ranging from intimate, haunting whispers to loudly chanting choirs, “End Of I” embodies a vision and
a hope: that humans transcend the current individualistic way of life and attune to the whispers of other
humans, species, and mother Earth, as we are all part of the same living network.

The essence and true sound of ART OF EMPATHY are reflected throughout the entire album, which is rich in
lyrics and quotations and spans no less than 12 tracks and 71 minutes. “End Of I” may be a lot to digest in times
when everything tends to be flashy and superficial, but any work that is poised to elicit self-reflection and re-
evaluation is not for the faint of heart. “End Of I” was necessary and worth waiting for.

True to his character, ART OF EMPATHY has always used Creative Commons license and made all music, lyrics,
and artwork available for free no matter how much time and effort were invested in them. His only request is
that people share the music, so that it gets a chance to reach all those who will see themselves in and get inspired
by it.

“People search for authenticity and durability in a world that is full of falsehood and volatility. And music
will always have a compelling power that nothing else can match.” (AOE, 2020)

“End Of I” is so unique in and of itself that Aenaos Records decided to offer a tangible experience of the album
by publishing a Limited Collector’s Edition: a hand-numbered Media Book with 32 pages of artwork and lyrics
limited to 100 units.

The Media Book can be ordered directly at www.aenaos-records.com or at Bandcamp and the order includes a
