Help Bring Broken Souls to Life

Dear Friends and Music Lovers,

I am ARTRAGE, an independent musician hailing from Ireland and now proudly living in Austria. I’ve been crafting music since 2000, drawing inspiration from a vast array of genres. Now, I’m on the cusp of releasing my debut metal album, Broken Souls, but I need your help to make it happen.

Broken Souls is a project born from my lifelong passion for metal and my experiences navigating the challenges of our world. The album dives deep into themes of injustice, corruption, and the overwhelming search for light amidst darkness. Musically, it’s a fusion of heavy guitars, atmospheric pads, and intricate soundscapes, influenced by the likes of Paradise Lost, Type O'Negative, My Dying Bride, Satyricon, and Depeche Mode. I’ve poured my heart and soul into this album, writing every note, playing every instrument, and now I’m so close to the finish line.

Over the past few years, I’ve faced unimaginable financial challenges and hardships that have made it difficult to sustain my passion for music. It’s taken everything I have to get this far, and it’s with a heavy heart that I’ve decided to ask for outside assistance. Producing and releasing an album independently is no small feat, and I’m reaching out to you for support to cover the final recording, mixing, mastering, and marketing costs.

Your contribution, no matter the size, will help bring Broken Souls to life. Whether it’s covering studio time, producer fees, or marketing to ensure the album reaches both European and American audiences, your support is vital. My goal is to have the album fully produced by December 1st and released on my birthday, December 18th. With your help, I can make this dream a reality.

Thank you for believing in independent music and in the power of Broken Souls. Let’s make this happen together.

With heartfelt gratitude,

ARTRAGE
