 MISANTHROPIC ART has posted a statement on the dangers of AI (ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE) in music and art.. 

 

ITP V.024 EDITORS NOTE:  Tell me about.it. AI generated GOOGLE screwed up and consolidated an article about a drug dealer with my like of an article about the late WILLIE MAYS.

Some of you might have read that streaming platforms are flooded with AI generated music immitating bands that have nothing to do with it, and those bands being targeted are now all up and arms about AI.

Rightfully so, but honestly, artists including myself have been talking about the danger and exploitation of AI, specifically AI generated images since late 2022 when text-to-image prompts became popular. There have been a couple of lawsuits filed and in California it was even ruled that A.I.'s image generation systems infringe upon copyright law. For those who aren’t into the topic and care enough, please look up my old posts.

Back then and still to this day a lot of musicians think AI generated images are some sort of toy and use it commercially for e.g. album cover. I’m not trying to be salty here, but I guess people only start caring and complaining about something when it affects themselves, and AI is imitating bands music now, just the same way as it has been with visual art for a couple years.

Bottomline of this post is and always has been for me is to stand together as creative people and say no to the commercial use of AI generated images (and music) and support real artists instead.

“A depiction of mankind destroying what they don’t understand. Witch-hunts and witches at the stake burned to a crisp. Probably one of the more progressive songs with spellbinding riffs of witchery. May the spell curse those in doubt to a lifetime of bad luck and misery!” Thomas Eriksen

TRELLDOM: POST VIDEO FOR NEW TRACK "THE VOICE OF WHAT WHISPERS"

 

 

 

 Norwegian black metal warriors TRELLDOM have posted a video for "THE VOICE OF WHAT WHISPERS"  , a track from the bands anticipated new release "...BY THE SHADOWS...", due to be unleashed 9/13/2024 via PROPHECY PRODUCTIONS.

FROM TRELLDOM: 

 

TRELLDOM reveal new video single 'The Voice of What Whispers' taken from the forthcoming album "...by the shadows..."

When iconic Norwegian vocalist Gaahl, revived TRELLDOM he did the only thing that could ever be expected from this exceptional artist: the unexpected. Hardly anybody could have predicted the stylistic shifts and the twists and turns of the forthcoming new full-length: "...by the shadows...".

A few weeks back, TRELLDOM opened their set at this year's edition of Bergen's Beyond the Gates festival followed the introduction via 'By the Shadows' with the new opening track 'The Voice of What Whispers'. This avant-garde jazzy yet relentlessly driving song conjured looks of confusion, fascination, and even rapture onto many faces in the crowd. Now the band releases 'The Voice of What Whispers' as the third single in the shape of an equally unexpected yet fascinating video. Who would have thought to see a Japanese horror style clip from a Norwegian band with deep roots in the black metal scene?
