Hey there fellow music and world lovers, today I’m excited to pull back the curtain on our new album, “DEMONS” that just dropped on the 16th of august of this 2024.
This album is more than just a collection of tracks; it’s a raw, unfiltered dive into all the ways some himans seem to exist only to exploit and hurt other humans as if they were none other than demons in disguise.
We’ve poured our souls into crafting songs that challenge you to think twice about the world around you.
Each track is like looking into through a magical window that forces you to see the world as it is, taking away all the illusions screens and medias place in front of you to better exploit your existence.
We’ve tackled everything from emotional manipulation to political scams and how tech steers our behavior. This isn’t some half-hearted attempt at being woke in a “multi-colored” dumb way; it’s an urgent call for self-awareness and change.
So buckle up and get ready to embark on this intense journey with us. It might ruffle some feathers, but hey, that’s exactly what we’re aiming for. Read on to explore some of the tracks meanings because there’s a lot lurking beneath the surface you won’t want to miss.

The Concept Behind DEMONS
So, let’s get straight to the heart of “DEMONS”. Each track isn’t just another synthpop tune; it’s a raw depiction of how humans exploit each other. Think of it as a musical exposé on the darker sides of what I came to refuse calling “humanity”, cause apart from the look, it has nothing to do with what a “human” should be.
From political betrayals and social media deceptions to emotional manipulation in personal relationships, every song digs deep into these societal vices. It’s like we held up a mirror to the world and didn’t flinch from what we saw.
What inspired this you ask? Think back to the last years. Try reasoning on the rise of inner fights between people due to made up absolutely idiotic ideologies. think about the destruction of everything that relates to human nature itself in favour of empty and petty whims. Think about how the world went on an excalation of violence and war, think about how the poor are made to be poorer, the rich are made to be richer and the media keep telling you to sacrifice everything “for the common good”.
This album was inspired by none other than the reality we are forced to live into every single day.
News cycles full of half-truths, Instagram feeds filled with fake perfection… there is nothing “human” about the world that these demons are creating for us.
Our creative vision was pretty straightforward: use music as a wake-up call. We wanted to make something that was not just heard but felt deeply, resonating long after the final track ends. The goal was for listeners to recognize those “demons” in their own lives and feel empowered to confront them. Sure, it’s a bit intense for synthpop, but music should push boundaries and spark real conversations. If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking you’re not good enough because an influencer said so, or you stayed silent when you should’ve spoken up—this album is for you.
Track Insights: DEMONS
Let’s talk about the title track, “DEMONS.” This one dives deep into some pretty dark places. It’s all about exploring themes of darkness and control: those moments when you feel someone’s got a hold on you, manipulating your every move. You know the feeling, right? When it seems like you’re constantly fighting against unseen forces trying to dictate your life. That sense of being trapped, almost suffocated by power dynamics? We wanted to capture that struggle in a way that resonates intensely with everyone who’s been there.
Lyrically, it’s all about confronting those shadows head-on. No sugar-coating here; we wanted to be raw and upfront.
There’s an overarching narrative here, starting with the protagonist of the song feeling trapped in his/her own life, stuck in a place were were his/her mind does not want to be, wandering away in his/her dreams but keeping it up because they’re told that all these sacrifices are “for their loved ones”.
Feel familiar? Ever felt stuck in a life you do not feel as your own, just because you “need to survive” via the rules someone elses placed on your life?
We could go on mentionig lines such as “lifeless eyes on a screen, keeps me standing here, taking away my will to fight”.
Look around you, look how many people seem to be unable to take their eyes of their phones, look how passive these people are, overwhelmed by all the garbage socials and media feed their brain.
I dare you saying it’s not as the song tells you: “It’s like hordes of demons
Shadowing on us
Using all that’s sacred
To turn
Light into dark
Life itself was hidden
Behind made up rules
Using all our fears
To enslave, enslave us“

Track Insights: FINAL FIREWORKS
“Final Fireworks” isn’t just our anti-war anthem; it’s a full-blown confrontation of the chaos, the destruction, and the pain that wars bring. From the moment you hit play, you’re thrown into a whirlwind of synth beats with a bassline mimicking a machinegun rhytm, adding frenzyness to the scene.
We wanted to capture not just the horrors of war but also the profound sense of loss and madness it leaves behind in people’s lives. This track practically screams with every beat: no life is insignificant enough to be lost to political misdeeds.
Musically, “Final Fireworks” is a rather straightforeward song, with acids line intertwining with powerful basses and cutting percussions, with a tough of real war recordings.
Lyrically speaking, we didn’t hold back either, I believe lines such as these are more then enough to say it all:
“Under the rain of bullets,
Faces filled with fear
Waiting for the end
The reaper drawing near
Their eyes aglow with the bombs that lights up in the sky
Final fireworks
Before the last goodbye“
I’ll let you know that as I re-write these lyrics for the blog post, with my mind going back to think about all the atrocities committed or supported in the world by our own governments, tears can’t help but fill my eyes.
“Final Fireworks” is more than just music; it’s a cry for awareness wrapped in pulsating synthpop energy. In today’s climate, where conflicts rage on various fronts—physical or ideological—we believe this track won’t just resonate but will make listeners pause and reflect on what truly matters: peace over power politics. So crank up the volume and let those fireworks explode in your mind.
Track Insights: DUST
Let’s talk about “DUST,” one of the most emotionally charged tracks on the album. This song dives headfirst into the heavy subject of emotional manipulation within personal relationships. You know, those moments when you feel like you’re being subtly steered by someone else’s hidden agenda? Yeah, that’s what we aimed to unravel here. The track peels back layers to reveal how twisted and complex these manipulative dynamics can be, urging listeners to recognize and confront those unspoken power plays that can slowly erode trust and individuality.
Lyrically, “DUST” is as abstract as it can get, because the goal was to depict the emotions a victim of such despicable practice such as emotional manipulation feels in their daily lives, and it could not be achieved without some abstractism.
Musically, we went for a haunting arrangement with this one, blended with chorus power when the shout in despair against the manipulator enter the song.
So whether you’ve experienced such emotional battles firsthand or just witnessed them from afar, “DUST” aims to connect deeply with those unvoiced feelings inside all of us. It’s both an acknowledgment and a catharsis, wrapped up in quintessential synthpop vibes we’re known for, but this time with an added layer of intimate confrontation we believe needed to be heard.
Track Insights: INFLUENCERS
We live in a world where what you see on your screen is almost certaintly far from reality, and our track “INFLUENCERS” dives deep into this murky water.
This song critiques how social media influencers curate their online personas, manipulating their followers with carefully staged lives. Think about that photo-perfect brunch you double-tapped this morning; it’s not just food: it’s a meticulously crafted image designed to make you feel something, buy something, envy something or, in the case of politiccal influencers, think something.
But we’re not stopping at Instagram models and YouTube stars. “INFLUENCERS” also tackles the darker corners of political scams unfolding in our digital age. Political figures are now mastering the art of influence peddling, exploiting algorithms to spread misinformation and create echo chambers. The truth becomes optional when reality can be spun into sound bites and viral tweets.
“InFLUENCERS” serves as both a cautionary tale and a call to action, urging listeners to reclaim control over their digital lives. It’s time we stop letting technocrats and fame-seekers dictate our stories and start writing them ourselves. So next time you’re hypnotized by yet another influencer’s post or political soapbox rant, remember there’s more lurking behind those polished pixels than meets the eye.
