South African Piano Doom / Experimental artist and singer-songwriter CHARLES EAST released his first album, “Dislocated,” on December 17th, 2024 via Brucia Records.
Today CHARLES EAST unveils the official video for the song „Damnation,“written and directed by the artist himself.
The single is a truly fantastic showcase of talent and personality – simultaneously gloomy and assaulting, spasmodically shifting from tender to desperate to furious fits of rage and anger. Much like the album, the song is phenomenally powerful, both visceral and funereal, and elegantly combines CHARLES EAST fantastically nuanced piano music with a mix of Post-Punk, Goth Rock and Doom Metal.

CHARLES EAST comments: „‘Damnation’ is the last song of the album. ‘Dislocated’ is not a concept album per se, but it loosely tells the story of a person’s feeling of dislocation. By this point in the album there has been a great purge, an ejection that has left this person motionless, formless, without distinction, as he struggles to find something to latch on to. The video comes as an afterthought, a sign of tenacity and continuation. A proof of endurance.„
The first single ‘Resting In My Blood’ features Eva O (Christian Death, Shadow Project,Super Heroines) as special guest on vocals.

8 months after the release of the EP “I Am Your Consequence,”CHARLES EAST showcases again his huge talent and personality. Simultaneously gloomy and assaulting, he spasmodically shifts from tender to desperate to furious, and again evoking all sorts of shadows to rise between the sparse and desperate chords of a lamenting piano, to then explode in fits of rage and anger.
Thematically, EAST’s music addresses darker themes ranging from intolerance, isolation, and obsession to self-loathing and the agony of life.
“Dislocated“ is available as slipcase CD with 14-pages booklet and digital. Order it now, HERE: https://bruciarecords.bandcamp.com/album/discolated
