Mask of Sanity
(Weaver)

Mask of Sanity is about learning to distance yourself from people who expect to be your cure, and essentially about embracing your faults and darkness before allowing someone else to tell you what you should be doing with your life.

Subliminal Stimuli are an electronic project out of St Louis, Missouri, that Alyx Weaver, or Dr. Aly-X, began from unfinished solo work in the summer of 2021. The group is normally composed of Alyx, a drummer, and a bassist. Most composition is done on a sequencer, and then added to and subtracted from there.

Alyx says, “The idea behind the project is that there are so many subtle and pervasive ways that society has poisoned itself, between the stigmatization of mental health and the glorification of money, greed, conformity. Magic and the occult take a backseat in my work, but ultimately the point I want to make is that humankind is the only animal that ever put so much pretense and effort into destroying itself. I try to tie in themes like shadow work and the divine self in a way that is relatable without prior knowledge of occultism.”
