A record of grief, rage, and quiet suffocation.
The art is the life.
What it sounds like to scream on the inside.
To waver. To give yourself away in pieces, to people who only take. Something parasitic, living inside.
I had been injured and hurt, and as I was walking, going for help, I was being attacked by jackals that were picking at me, tearing up my wounds, causing new wounds, new problems. Still I continue to my destination.
I'm Joe Mapplebeck Jr. I am the lead of Aecyst, a music project that focuses on creating original material in multiple genres. As part of this project, I play guitar, bass, drums, keyboards and vocals as well as record and produce all my own material. Additionally, I take care of the photography, videography editing and visual effects for my channel. My goal is to create unique content that will inspire others to explore their creative side.
Aecyst is a project based in New York City that explores different genres and styles of music. From heavy riffs with odd times to acoustic melodic rock and even meditation music, my goal is to let the music flow out naturally without preconception. It's been an incredible experience so far and I hope you'll join me on this musical adventure!






One letter. Maybe less. When a song drops, when a video drops, when something breaks open. No filler. No selling. Just the signal.
