After 2 self released albums and an EP between 1996 and 2000, it was long overdue to revive this dark electro/ebm solo project " Reality's Despair ".
I am based in Antwerp (Belgium) and have been working on this album from september 2017 until march 2018.
While the lyrics deal with societal and human decline, the supernatural, the occult and aliens, musically the album can be categorised as ebm / dark electro with a strong 90's feel, and with heavily distorted vocals.

The album was released on bandcamp in april 2018, in 2 versions :
* a digital version containing 10 tracks
* a physical cdr version containing 12 tracks

You are welcome to stream the album on bandcamp and other streaming services.
Some homemade accompanying video's are available on youtube
The "Societal Collapse" project was all about transforming Reality's Despair into present day's technology with an updated digital audio workstation and new software, while removing the dust from old hardware that wasn't used for almost 18 years !
Some equipment though, like a distortion pedal, didn't survive this neglect and had to be replaced with a new unit, but little setbacks like these were quickly overcome.

The restarting idea was, and still is, to refresh the old songs with the new gear, as well as releasing brand new tracks.

And now, since mid september 2018 we kicked off towards our second album, to be released early 2019 !
Until then Reality's Despair will release a new track, probably with an accompanying video on our YouTube channel, every month.
We are still looking for some promotors to airplay these new tracks, and we are available for additions on genre compilations aswell.


The first track " When Crisis Comes " was released in september 2018, and in a week or 2 a second track " Nocturnal " follows.
It's this new track, " Nocturnal ", i want to submit for your compilation.

I will send you a rar file containing the first album and the 2 new songs, " When Crisis Comes" and " Nocturnal"
