Exclusive video premiere of ‘I Taste Blood’ by Ace Of Wands, taken from the upcoming album, ‘Desiring,’ out March 31st, 2023 via Fortune Stellar Records.

Ace of Wands explores the genre of Dream Rock through immersive and intricate soundscapes and captivating live performances. From the tension and dread of a nightmare to the effortless freedom of lucid dreaming, Ace of Wands compels audiences to listen with attention, not shy away from the dreams that may reveal hidden parts of themselves. At the core of the band, multi-instrumentalist Lee Rose sings, plays violin/guitar and synth-bass foot pedals simultaneously while Anna Mernieks and Jody Brumell accompany her on swirling guitar and thunderous drums. Their instrumentation, soaring vocals, and commitment to artistically-driven visual elements explore the depths of overwhelming emotion and transcend typical pop and rock forms.

‘I Taste Blood’ was inspired by the magnetic, electrical energy of being in the presence of someone that you desire, especially when you realize that the feeling is mutual. Exploring a gritty and sensual sound, this is the first song written for the band by guitarist Anna Mernieks.

“I usually write songs for my own psych-folk band, Beams, but this felt like an Ace of Wands rocker to me. I’m super grateful that Lee gave it the green light because it’s amazingly fun to play live.” – Anna Mernieks.

Mixed by Kevin McMahon (Swans, Titus Andronicus), ‘I Taste Blood’ has a dark and punchy treatment, capturing the raw and ferocious energy that Ace Of Wands can achieve in their live performance.
