DARK SIDE OF THE WOMB : This is my story and cautionary tale on cervical health

DARK SIDE OF THE WOMB : This is my story and cautionary tale on cervical health - https://link.medium.com/8b57Xc2qAR

Artwork by Chris Nicholls (@softgeocreative)
"I felt fragile and strangely a failure. Society places so much emphasis on the female and her organs and ability to function both sexually and as a baby incubator. And I was waiting on a precipice to discover if what felt so much about me as “woman” and being a woman was defective."
"My poor cervix looked like a war zone and the abnormalities were large and I was slightly in shock. She explained she would send the samples off to the lab to confirm they were pre-cancer. I left the hospital dazed and feeling more vulnerable and emotional than I had ever felt."

For Negative Capability, Faithfull called on the creative talents of previous collaborators Nick Cave and Warren Ellis, Mark Lanegan and Ed Harcourt.

The album is raw and aching. Such power, pain and damage.  Standing definately facing ageing, loneliness and death and the anticipation of what’s to come Marianne does so with grace and honesty and one cant help but feel this might be her final farewell.

[WATCH] Astari Nite // "Unfulfilled Promise"







Astari Nite is proud to show to the world their video for the song “Unfulfilled Promise." The track, is included in the band’s most recent album 'Midnight Conversations' album on Cleopatra Records.  and produced by Tom Shear (Assemblage 23). 


The video, directed by Ileana Escalante & Louis Molden of Blind Beast, features Astari Nite’s trademark aesthetic, haunting and melancholic, blended with surrealistic scenarios that tap into the psyche of someone who is confronting their demons, and dealing with the aftermath of loss and death. 

"Sadness and depression comes in many shades and colors. If you can see it, stop and take the time to help. Smiling at someone, or a simple hello, can save a life." 
–Mychael.


 

The video, and the message it contains, comes at a time when the social spotlight is on the topics of depression and suicide, with several beloved musicians and iconic performers having taken their own lives in the last couple of years, it brings to light how many of the people we know and love in our daily lives deal with the despair that drives one to become destructive. Too often do we become aware after it is too late, after they are gone.

Astari Nite upcoming live shows:

December 6th - Dance Macabre Festival: Gothic Rock Edition, Essen, Germany

December 7th - Dance Macabre Festival: Gothic Rock Edition, Hannover, Germany
