The path from black metal to electronic music doesn’t seem like an obvious one, but for Altar of Plagues’ mastermind James Kelly it may have been almost like a straight line. Expansive, emotional and lustful, WIFE’s bass driven pop music still retains a bleak element that can be traced back to Kelly’s past works with Altar of Plagues. After a widely well-received debut EP, Stoic, WIFE released the LP What’s Between through the essential label Tri Angle – and will make his long awaited first appearance in Portugal at Amplifest.

O caminho desde o black metal até à música eletrónica pode parecer tudo menos óbvio, mas para James Kelly, mentor dos Altar of Plagues, terá sido uma estrada em linha recta. Expansiva, emocional e lasciva, a música de WIFE retém uma aura desoladora que a liga aos trabalhos anteriores de Kelly. Depois de Stoic, o amplamente elogiado EP de estreia, WIFE lançou o seu primeiro trabalho de longa duração What’s Between pela essencial editora Tri Angle – e fará no Amplifest a sua muito aguardada primeira aparição ao vivo em Portugal.
