FIVE WOUNDS. ONE VOICE.

A record of grief, rage, and quiet suffocation.
The art is the life.
What it sounds like to scream on the inside.

Enter the wound Latest: Vacillate →
LATEST·· CURRENT

The exhaustion of giving to takers.

CATALOG·· V / V

Five songs. Five wounds.

ICAN'T BREATHE
Suffocation.
Watching from underneath. Sleeping through catastrophe.
Gasping for a breath.
Listen on Bandcamp →
IIFOR THOSE I LOST
Grief.
A direct address to the dead. Willingness to trade anything to see them one more time.
Listen on Bandcamp →
IIIPHASING
Duality.
The shift between poles. Manic and depressive, cycling without warning. The self that surfaces when the other recedes.
Listen on Bandcamp →
IVTAKEN
Predation.
Something reaching across dimensions to eat the soul. Hypnotic, occult, otherworldly.
Listen on Bandcamp →
VVACILLATE
Exhaustion.
Cycles of giving to those who only take. Worn-down defiance. Bitter clarity.
Listen on Bandcamp →
MISSION

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.

ABOUT·· THE SIGNAL BEHIND THE SOUND

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!

Enter the wound.

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