Watch Me Die Inside Maps the Modern Mind in Crisis with Brand-new EP, "Infinity Fall III"

"Infinity Fall III" is the third Fragment in Aleph's ongoing dark-pop project.

Aleph is the least conventional artist. The project is an artistic universe built around one premise: documenting the modern human in a state of internal collapse. The music is released in what Aleph calls "Fragments", and multiple Fragments together form an "Autopsy". While his audience isn't just supposed to listen, they're positioned as Witnesses.

That framing already fills you in on a lot. "Infinity Fall Ill" is the third entry in a series called Infinity Fall, and it is three tracks of dark-pop and metalcore.

"Infinity Fall Ill" is Watch Me Die Inside's brand-new EP. The titular track, "Infinity Fall III", is about a very specific kind of suffering. It's like a dream where you're falling but never actually land. The lyrics report a psychological collapse within. "Shadows consume, sanity frays / Mental cages built by invisible law" arrive in the first verse, and the image sticks because it is so apt. The most suffocating cages really are the invisible ones. By the time the track comes to an end, salvation isn't just unfound, it is quite literally fading away as we listen. The back half of the track was quite unflinching, too!

And so, from here on, it sets the tone for everything that follows!

'Boring' is the one that surprised me most, and probably the one I've thought about most since. On the surface, it's about monotony and numbness, but Aleph refuses to write a dull song about boredom, because well, it's boring! The language on this one is almost lush. There's a restlessness underneath every lyric hummed. Aleph is suggesting that when boredom cuts deep enough, the only antidote we can envision in that moment is chaos. You'd expect a song about boredom to sound bored. Instead it seethes!

The EP closes with "Uneasy," and by this point you've been taken through freefall and existential numbness, so you might wonder what more is left. This one just lets it rip in the best possible way. That shift is one of the best moments on the EP. It's exactly what an anxiety spiral feels like from the inside: held together on the surface, falling apart underneath, until the surface can't hold anymore. "Uneasy" is exactly what an anxiety spiral feels like to the known. The EP ends here without resolution, which is meant to leave you uneasy!

"Infinity Fall Ill" is highkey more of a psychological exhibit, like, three rooms, each one illuminating a different state of internal collapse, each one refusing to look away. Aleph calls the audience Witnesses. After spending time with this EP, I think that's exactly the right word. You don't come out the other side having fixed anything. But you've seen and felt something true. For listeners willing to be a Witness, it's one of the most honest pieces of dark-pop you'll encounter this year. Give it a go, as you won't regret a single minute spent with these songs!
