UK‑based dark electro/dark pop duo Palindrones have released the powerful new video for “Abraxas”, one of the standout tracks from their third album Chapter Two: The Slender Blade, which arrived earlier this year. The song also features on the forthcoming double A‑side single Abraxas & The Brightling Star, due out on 5 December.
A bold experiment in sonic alchemy, “Abraxas” sets opposing forces into ecstatic collision. Distorted breakcore rhythms convulse beneath a luminous, weaving melody, creating a soundscape that is at once blissful and violent — a paradoxical dance of creation and destruction.
The track embodies duality: sacred and profane, serene and savage. Each beat lands like an invocation, while every melodic phrase struggles to impose fragile order against the storm. In this volatile balance, “Abraxas” captures the liminal space between ecstasy and annihilation, where contradiction itself becomes transcendence.
The accompanying video, filmed in the legendary Chislehurst Caves, translates this vision into the visual realm. Fragmented animation, shifting light and shadow, and hypnotic rhythmic editing mirror the track’s interplay of serenity and volatility. The result is a piece that positions “Abraxas” as both a sonic and visual invocation — a ritual of metamorphosis. Link
