Ailise Blake was born in Bordeaux, shaped by introspection and a profound sense of misanthropy. Alice Ronzini, the creative force behind this solo project, is an Italian musician also known as Ali Macabre. Originally from Lombardia and raised in Tuscany, she began recording her first songs at the age of 14, drawing inspiration from artists such as Slowdive and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.

In 2009, she relocated to Bordeaux to join friends as a bass player in the band J.C. Satan, a project that soon embarked on international tours. By 2012, she had also become a member of the Parisian band La Secte du Futur, contributing as both vocalist and occasional bassist.

Meanwhile, her first solo project, Macabre, ( a mix of dark funeral  shoegaze, dreampop and black metal atmospheres ) was born, culminating in a seven-track full-length album titled DemoNs, released on tape by the German label NEUE STRAßEN and the American label RichMomsRecords.

After years of performing and touring, Ali recognized that something essential was missing. Following the exhaustion of her band’s British tour in 2017, she sought a more personal and direct way to express herself as a solo artist. This marked the beginning of her new work and Macabre became Ailise Blake,a project deeply intertwined with her other passion: the study of Thelemic Mysteries and Ceremonial Magick.

Drawing strength from these studies, she spent three years crafting her debut full-length album, Songs from the Uncanny Valley, a deeply personal record which explores  themes of family, death, loss, misogyny, depression, and the resilience of the human spirit and was released in 2020 on a limited edition tape format, under her own label "418Nails"

Between 2020 and 2024, she released a series of singles : Martha’s Dream and the Returning of Persephone, Underwater, Morningstar, and Tellurium, all in digital format.

Her sophomore full-length album, Soave, was released on November 7th 2025 under the Italian label These Hands Melt. This record serves as the foundation of her artistic vision, offering a more explicit homage to Thelemic philosophy and the initiatic path, a continuous pyramid of Spectral Folk.
