About NADAE: Nadae, the musical persona of singer-songwriter, film director and magician Jacob Sipes, blends music experimentation with modern metal conventions. Founded September 2020, Nadae continues to demonstrate a stubborn commitment to telling the best musical story possible, blending hard genres with eclectic musicality. His goal is simple: personal transcendence through powerful music. Nadae shares, ” I’m in the UK completing my PhD in Philosophy at Warwick University. My thesis is centered around the neuroscience of moral judgments. ” While in the UK, Nadae studied under Peter Carrol, founder of Chaos Magick. Nadae says, “I completed my magic apprenticeship with Carrol, the first and only student to complete this rigorous program, and am now a working magician researching my own grimoire. This grimoire is centered around the mechanics of spirit summoning and how to be more effective at this very delicate and dangerous art. My world travels for research materials have taken me to very old Southeast Asian markets, ancient East Asian ritual sites, rural European libraries, and will be taking me into various Mediterranean cities (Egypt, Italy, and Istanbul respectively) very soon.” Nadae is currently working on his second apprenticeship, learning from Craig Dickson, founder of Ikigai Hoshin Jutsu. He says, “Regarding my martial arts journey, Ikigai is my third system studied.” Nadae shares, ” I am currently halfway to first Dan (blackbelt rank 1), though my supplemental studies in tradition swordsmanship have added a little load to the overall training schedule.” How is all of this relevant to the music? Nadae explains, “The upcoming album The Septhed: Gods of Kenilworth and the singles released from it such as ‘The Fighter’ and ‘The Lover’, are a part of a much larger magical work intended to help people transcend their normal mindsets, break through boundaries, and live whole lives. The sword fighting, on the other hand, is strictly for my own benefit.” NADAE online: Nadae (@nadae_band) • Instagram photos and videos Nadae | Facebook Nadae – YouTube Nadae (@nadaeband) / Twitter Spotify – Nadae Nadae on Amazon Music Nadae (creator-spring.com) https://linktr.ee/nadaeband Buy link: https://nadae.ffm.to/thelover |
