The KONSENT is an avantgard side project of Samael’s bassist Ales Campanelli. It is the second single from their self-titled album, which is recorded on double deluxe vinyl. There are no solo of rhythm guitars in the album. All strings are played on bass guitar. This sound is deliberately sought out to express a feeling of anxiety and alienation in the music. On November 21st the album will have a presentation in Besançon, France. After it The KONSENT will make one tour in Japan. The musicians promise that the project will exist until December 13th, 2026, and next will disappear. On stage Ales Campanelli will use an eight-string bass, produced especially for him by the people from TUNE Japan.

The album can be pre-ordered here: Bandcamp and Spotify.
