Ailise Blake is born in Bordeaux, between four walls and misanthropy. Ali, the person behind this solo project, is an Italian musician better known as Ali Macabre. Born in Lombardia and grown up in Tuscany she started to record her firsts songs at the age of 14, inspired by bands like Slowdive and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. In 2009 she moved to the city of Bordeaux to join her friends as bass player in a project that soon would have started touring the world, called J. C. Satan. After years of concerts and touring, she finally realized that something was missing, along with the tiredness of her last band's British tour in 2017.She needed a better way to express herself as a solo artist. It is then that she decided to start work on a record that would have been deeply braided with her other occupation that is the study of the Thelemic Mysteries and the Ceremonial Magick. She found a source of strength in her studies and from them, 3 years later, her first long lenght album " Songs from the Uncanny Valley" poured, like water from a cup. It is a deeply personal record, where themes like family, death, loss, misogyny, depression and the strength of the will are sung. From 2020 to 2024, she released a chain of singles : "Martha 's dream and the returning of Persephone" followed by "Underwater", "Morningstar" and "Tellurium ", each one of them in a digital format under her own label" 418 Nails " . Today she comes with her sophomore long length album called “Soave”, that will be released under the umbrella of the italian label These Hands Melt the 7th November 2025. This record is the foundation of her work, a more explicit ode to that same thelemic philosophy and its initiatic path , a never ending pyramid of Spectral Folk.
