»Dislocated« is the first full-length album by South African piano doom/experimental artist and singer-songwriter Charles East and it will be released on December 17th, 2024 on digital and a special slipcase CD edition also containing a 14-pages booklet.

The single »Resting In My Blood«, featuring Eva O, is now streaming HERE.

Phenomenally powerful, both visceral and funereal, and elegantly combining Charles East fantastically nuanced piano music with a mix of post-punk, goth rock and doom metal.

8 months after the release of the EP »I Am Your Consequence«, here is another fantastic showcase of talent and personality from Charles East – simultaneously gloomy and assaulting, spasmodically shifting from tender to desperate to furious, and again evoking all sorts of shadows to rise between the sparse and desperate chords of a lamenting piano, to then explode in fits of rage and anger.

The album sees the special collaboration of Eva O (Christian Death, Shadow Project, Super Heroines) as guest vocalist in one song.

Thematically, Charles East’s music addresses darker themes ranging from intolerance, isolation, and obsession to self-loathing and the agony of life.

Profoundly meditative and introspective piano/doom music for fans of Chelsea Wolfe, Diamanda Galas, Eva O.
