♫ DJ Deathray - Lick
As I strive to maintain the last grasp of breath, I can envision all the imperfections in my skeleton. I would gnaw and gnash my teeth against my tattered and torn lips as the pain became too much to bare. Scintillating and adorned in crimson, I crawled and writhed upon the warm, wet floor. My hands, absent of fingernails, shook uncontrollably as agony coursed through my central nervous system. Busted capillaries gave my eyes a demonic appearance - birthed in horror and torment. Your weight grew too much for my shattered bones to maintain as I screeched in admonishing reverence. Luminescent lunatic - pulchritudinous psychopath.
Previously mentioned on U/R, Dj Deathray is enchanting, post apocalyptic sinister odes sung by an enticing enchantress. “Neus” is peppered with distorted, incomprehensible lyrics that ascend and rise like smoke amidst booming bass lines and staccato drums. Beeps and blips freckle the caliginous soundscapes ooze and hum. Like sweetly doomed lullabies of grief - blissful sadness - glorious gloom.

♫ DJ Deathray
Catching a glimpse of my appearance, I recoil in fear. Unwilling to accept the vision of what I see before me as reality, I strain to swallow my trepidation. Trying to make sense of what I observe, I stare at the images before my blood-shot eyes. Swollen from sorrow, I creep closer to the alluring, monstrous reflection. My hands examine the tender, olive hued flesh - prodding and pulling - stretching and slapping - hoping that in time the veneer will flake. I could sense the stares from bystanders - the ferocious watchers that soon gathered around me. They would make their repulsion known gasping like a loud wind as their gazes fell upon my ghastly countenance. Trying to conceal my misshapen body, I begin to pluck and tear - culling my cells as I try to accept my existence. Striving to remain unseen, desiring nothing more than to withdraw, my knees give away as I shield myself under the silky, welcoming gauze. Monstrous mistress - heinous, hellish degenerate - mutant maiden.
DJ Deathray, from Portland, may just be my favorite new enchantress. Strictly speaking, DJ Deathray crafts fuzzed out sounds, reverb laden vocals, and pulsating synths into a hypnotic distorted dark pop blend. Masked invocations hide behind sinister yet effervescent melodies. Melodies frolic like devilish imps rejoicing in mischief -joyously prancing as the devilment slowly engulfs the calamitous creatures.
