ARES is a project very close to our hearts. We shot it a while back, drawing inspiration from colored light and the phrase „the morning after“ as our two primary sources of inspiration.
We discussed abuse and the ways in which we or others have experienced it. We explored its effects on the body and soul, as well as how individuals cope with or suppress it. We then filmed the entire project with
@kimbiebow in one night in an abandoned building somewhere in Hamburg.
Be mindful of one another, listen attentively and take care of each other.
This would not have been possible without:
@kimbiebow thank you for staying up and giving it your everything
@alex_draheim thank you for discovering the most fitting and beautiful colors.
@faux.440 and
@juliuskrh , who joined this project later but managed to translate the vision into a perfect, dense, narrative-driven sound. We are forever grateful; without you, this probably would never have seen the light of day.
@yoshiieriesen your voice, which binds everything together, thank you immensely.

ARES
by GreeceAmity
You can find an Ares
in the pooling blood seeping
from your bruised knuckles and
dripping, dropping, plinking
on the bathroom floor.
Find him in the mirror
when you see hatred staring back, I dare you to.
He smells like sweet decay and
his laughter can break bones and
when he kisses you pretty pain shoots
through your lips and you’ll love it.
Because he tastes like blood and metal
fire and ash and his smile holds daggers
that will tear through your throat in a second.
Under him you’ll pray grant me mercy,
grant me peace, grant me victory
and he will laugh and you will shatter
and you will find him in the pieces he left behind.
