Philomela 04:23
Raped children aren’t meant to live Their truth should never be heard Eyes blinded upon opening Above circle shrieking birds Await outside the body At the bottom of the well Until it was safe to return And there was nothing more to tell When the rains fell The evidence was lost The water rose and broke its banks Barriers were crossed My silence grew within me A growing singularity A soul consigned to purgatory A body stripped of dignity Echoes of a rage That cannot be expressed Whispers of a crime The victim has confessed Are the spoils worth the losses? Only time will tell But I saw them all for who they are When the rains fell In this dark and muddy expanse Taste iron in the air Bodies, bones, hearts and promises - No one can repair The sting of where the fist fell The ache of a blackening bruise The blade digging through flesh Doesn’t hurt compared to the truth I fear no fate - I walk alone I never wanted fame Circling above me The birds call my name There is no battle worth fighting from which one walks away unscarred When the rains fall - The ground becomes hard I will reserve the one who did this A special place in hell An eternal malediction uttered When the rains fell

Hope 03:50
I thought that hope would save me I thought hope kept me hanging on But as the thread starts breaking We see all of what was wrong It was hope that had enslaved me The truth was that hope had gone The truth was hope is a cage for me I would have died if I had carried on How could I have gotten it so wrong? Confusing danger for safety How could I have gotten it so wrong? Mistake jealousy for caring How could I have gotten it so wrong? Mix up his rage for passion How could I have gotten it so wrong? Convoluting fear for excitement How could I have gotten it so wrong? To think that was what love felt like How could I have gotten it so wrong? To think that was all I deserved And I thought that hope would save me I thought hope kept me hanging on But as the thread starts breaking I could see all of what was wrong It was hope that had enslaved me The truth was that hope had gone The truth was hope is a cage for me I would have died if I had carried on And faith Is empty And God Doesn’t exist And the Bible Is all lies There is nothing After this

Cassandra 04:53
Pathetic Threatened man Clutching to Your fantasies Of war Imagine Yourself The victor In a past life As a conqueror Oh You live In daydream Painting Miniatures Of life A husk Privilege wasted And wisdom Never Won Until you are strong enough to stand - Are you alive enough to even die?

Judith 03:44
Watch as they lower the body Shoulder the weight of grief There is no one left beside us that can help us This inheritance is not a gift A land A tribe A duty A war An enemy A destiny This inheritance is not a gift I cover their ears Shield their eyes They do not need to know This inheritance is not a gift I sacrifice this body It is worth it to know they are safe My children above all My family above all My consort watches on He - in his stupor My sword will fall His head will roll And I would give it all back For one more moment in his arms To feel the warmth of his chest against my cheek You pathetic little fools All you think about is money But you’ll never understand my loss The burden that no one should bear And I would give it all back For one more moment in his arms To feel the path of his fingers through my hair You greedy little thieves All you think about is money But you’ll never understand my loss The sadness that no one should know And I would give it all back For one more moment in his arms To feel the warmth of his chest against my cheek You grubby little crumbs All you think about is money But you’ll never understand my loss And my burden that no one should bear

Joan 04:34
The lies we told ourselves Are coming undone If you want to live You better Run! We were living for the good in you When so much you did was evil Forgiving for the future When the present is unforgivable Deny! Attack! Reverse Victim and offender The manipulation The coercion The corrosion The isolation The negation The intimidation The erosion The confession The depression The hypnosis The psychosis The instability The flammability The flashpoint The explosion Enough! We are planning your demise We are coming for your eyes I offer no more atonement Your last chance has been and gone Arise, my army! Take up your weapons It is time Your time has come

Boudica 03:39
The Romans Are liars Always were Always will be But the joke Is on them They have underestimated Me They thought I would surrender Never To rise again They thought We would accept our place A people Conquered by them Their vanity is their weakness Too sure of themselves to see Assembling my rebellion To drive them into the sea I sharpen my sword by firelight Hide weapons beneath my feet In the countryside Hiding in plain sight I will murder them in their sleep They thought I would surrender Never Speak out again They thought that I would disappear In a world of arrogant men Consecrate the soil Plant the olive tree Pity those fools That underestimated me Salt and bless the circle Curse them into the sea Pity those fools That underestimated me Virgin Mother Warrior Crone

Bé Chuma 06:24
When my fortune is told When my fate is dealt When the truth unfolds I will rise Clarified and immaculate Purified and triumphant Elegant and empowered To deliver my vengeance Fire breathing and furious Unbridled and unstoppable Infinite and exultant I will remain Queen of the wasteland To deliver my vengeance Upon this Earth Deserving and unworthy Scurry before me Snivelling weaklings I summon the demons I raise the oceans Torch all the forests Lay waste to your cities Your manifestation Your actions made me Burn it all clean Drive the traitors before me My hatred is sacred Death to all who behold me Lay waste to all False idols and zealots The fire front, deafening Open your eyes to be blinded When my fortune is told When my fate is dealt When the truth unfolds I will rise Queen of the wasteland Medusa and hydra Enyo and Thanatos I will spare no one And I will spare nothing You can no longer hide From your creation Queen of the wasteland Queen of eradication Queen of desolation Queen of extinction Queen of extermination When my fortune is told When my fate is dealt When the truth unfolds I will rise Clarified and immaculate Purified and triumphant Elegant and empowered To deliver my vengeance Fire breathing and furious Unbridled and unstoppable Infinite and exultant I will remain Queen of the cataclysm Queen of devastation Queen of extermination

Magdalene 03:22
Day ends Emptiness embraces earth And in twilight Shadows loom large I will stand alone At the end of the day The flood Rises Below me Judas arrived In Gethsemane And my comrades Fell Behind me I will stand alone At the end of the day In bitter Disappointment Nothing that lives Ever survives Nothing that survives Deserves to live I would rather stand alone than stand with you I would rather die alone than live with you

about

Em Støy, the multi-instrumentalist behind Fryktelig Støy (Norwegian: ‘Horrible Noise’), has released her debut long play, ‘Disappointment.’

The album is a bleak confrontation of violence and betrayal, told through famous female muses in a first-person narrative.

The ‘Disappointment’ album is mournful, scornful, grim, heavy, swinging on a back beat, bleak and defiant - a deliberately human presence in a world where AI is encroaching on art.
