The official listening room

Heavy sound.
Soulful vocals.
A mind of its own.

Melodic metalcore meets conscious hip-hop.
Dark humor. Human contradictions. Joy in the cracks.

02 / Follow a different feeling

There’s more than one way in.

The starter playlist

Vael grins between a golden skyline and a violet electrical storm.

For the storm with a sense of humor

03 / Keep in touch

Find The Vael.

The music. The art.
The occasional inner argument.

Behind the music

A human perspective.
An illustrated world.

The Vael is Mr. Riddle’s artist project: everyday struggles, sharp contradictions and the choices in between, told through music and an expressive 2D anime world.

Human-led, AI-assisted. The creator writes the lyrics and directs each release. Vocals and instrumentation are AI-generated; AI also contributes to language and visuals. Vael is fictional. Song narrators are not automatically autobiographical.
