To the fans and listeners,
Thank you for listening over the years, and thank you for being here right now. My first 6 albums were all released in the little Grace periods which allowed me to come up to the surface to breathe. The first 4 albums in particular were accompanied by regular drug use and frequent bouts incarcerated or homeless. The last two were accompanied by their own violent events. Through all of this, I never stopped creating in the shadows, being inspired in stale rooms, or being driven by suffering. Our conquered trials have made us who we are today. And this is the story. From murder to salvation, if you are seeking, and your heart and mind are aligned and are filled with pure intent, there is freedom for you, and It Calls. It is no mere 'happenstance', but undoubtedly a Gift that the 7th album arrives at this particular time. These are tumultuous times still, but there is peace, beauty, & love all around and within, right now.
Know I love you all dearly.
~Bakelendt

about

Bakelendt Detroit, Michigan

From places where the sky is wholly dark, development of a chronicle began. In the midst of the shrouding, a vivid radiance was caught in my retina. And now I can never let it be.
