Newcomer French Electro-charged Darkwave trio Tranxhaine explores survival without glory using post-punk discipline, ritual minimalism, and emotional aftermath.
Forged from unhealed wounds and sacred collapse, their debut single and Official Video, “Ni Catharsis Ni Pardon” (Neither Catharsis Nor Forgiveness),
About when old demons thrive in a dark, hollow, heavenless stasis, “Ni Catharsis Ni Pardon” unleashes sonorously brooding, harsh driving bass lines, cut through by tight, lashing beats, to ceaselessly throb and churn underneath layers of aggressive distortions, dire glowing synth melodies, and poignant, glistening guitars, to slowly pull haunted, gloomy female vocals, turning to anxious, bitter, shrills, into a droning vortex of spasmic electronic swells.

The Official Video imaginatively depicts the epic internal struggle between angels and demons through an insightful and illustrative use of symbolism. A beautiful but mean, dark-haired queen battles against a pure, Christian image of herself under a distorted, black-and-white strobing perception. The fight for power and rulership is over her sacred burning heart and unfolds under a dualistic interplay of light and shadow. Who will ultimately win control? For now, unfortunately, it looks as if the fallen one reigns.
