In Chemical Transit

by All Men Unto Me

supported by

Matthew Grouse After an extremely emotional, documentary-esque journey, this final track had me in tears. The coalescence of the artist's voices, one from years ago & one captured relatively recently, creates such a rich and emotionally complex listening experience. What an incredible album! Favorite track: senza saper.

mothmanterik Great album from Ryan, showing their absolute vocal prowess! Favorite track: lament.

about

In Chemical Transit is All Men Unto Me’s first release, a 45 minute album which explores Rylan Gleave’s vocal journey from mezzo-soprano to bass-baritone, underpinned by Cherubino’s aria Voi che sapete from Mozart’s Le Nozze di Figaro. Through historic recordings of Rylan Gleave’s voice — pre-transition, 8 weeks on Testosterone, and 2.5 years on Testosterone — In Chemical Transit is a time capsule of voices that will never sound again. This live launch takes place with Gleave’s voice 5 years on Testosterone.

Gleave’s exploration of the operatic material is influenced not only by his classical training, but also his avant-garde metal vocals for band Ashenspire, in addition to themes drawn from minimalism, church music, post-punk, and drone. His broken voice alternates between strangled falsetto, guttural shrieks, and full-bodied classical baritone, likened to ‘Tilt-era Scott Walker’ by C.M. Queen.

If you feel like mist that graciously draws edges silken, as bitter clouds burst in droplets – a burnt hand would warily seek their comforting warmth – to let you wash your shame in tears; luxuriously tonguing atonement&salt , then this is what I recommend to you. DNM von Siebenthal
