FIEFDOM FALL is a concept album I wrote that explores my constant battle with my identity as a queer person, the relationship I have with my parents and the role religion plays in both of the above.
FIEFDOM FALL is very personal to my own experience as a cisgender gay man who grew up in a strict and conservative environment, navigating my queerness in secrecy. However, I do not intend for you as a reader to feel like you're looking into my life from the outside. Thus, I created a main protagonist that represents me throughout the album.
FIEFDOM FALL doesn't solely focus on my constant battles, there are also a few side quests sprinkled into the narrative - most notably, heartbreak. During the writing process of FIEFDOM FALL I had several relationships, until I thought I found the one. Unfortunately, close to the completion of the project, we had a fallout and he became immortalized through the project.
In conclusion, FIEFDOM FALL is one of my most vulnerable bodies of work and I feel very passionate about sharing it with you. I hope you find meaning in the dissection of myself via the Chinese imagery I've used throughout the project and I thank you for your engagement.
