Ailise Blake

Ailise Blake, the alias of Italian musician Alice Ronzini (aka Ali Macabre), hails from Lombardia and grew up in Tuscany, where she kicked off recording songs at just 14, drawing inspo from dreamy acts like Slowdive and the brooding vibes of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. In 2009, she headed to Bordeaux, France, to sling bass for J.C. Satan (and later La Secte du Futur), hitting the road for years of global tours until a grueling 2017 British run left her craving her own voice—fueled by her deep dive into Thelemic Mysteries and Ceremonial Magick.

That spark birthed her 2020 debut album *Songs from the Uncanny Valley* on her 418 Nails label, a raw, personal plunge into family, death, loss, and inner strength, followed by haunting singles like "Martha's Dream and the Returning of Persefone," "Underwater," "Morningstar," "TELLURIUM," "FAR BUT NOT LOST," and more. Her sophomore LP *Soave* dropped November 7, 2025, via These Hands Melt—a spectral folk gem she wrote, recorded, produced, and mixed solo in her remote French mountain studio during a hermit-like winter isolation, weaving ethereal dream pop with pagan mystery and devotion to death itself.
