UK dark electro duo, PALINDRONES has unveiled the evocative new video for the song, “Abraxas”.
“Abraxas” is taken from PALINDRONES‘’ third album, Chapter Two: The Slender Blade and is featured on December 5th’s upcoming double A-side single, “Abraxas & The Brightling Star”. The song is a magickal experiment on sonic alchemy — a ritual of opposing forces meeting in ecstatic collision. The track conjures a space where chaos and harmony intertwine: brutal, distorted breakcore rhythms crash and convulse beneath a weaving, joyful melody. The result is a soundscape both blissful and violent — a paradoxical dance of creation and destruction.
“Abraxas” itself represents a duality: the sacred and the profane, the serene and the savage. Each beat feels like an invocation, every melodic phrase – a fragile thread struggling to hold order against the onslaught of rhythm. In its volatile balance, the track captures the space between ecstasy and annihilation where contradiction becomes transcendence.
The accompanying music video (filmed in the infamous Chislehurst Caves) expands this concept into the visual realm — where light and shadow, ecstasy and annihilation, intertwine in constant metamorphosis. Through trippy, fragmented animated imagery and rhythmic editing, the video mirrors the track’s collision of serenity and volatility, positioning “Abraxas” as both a sonic and visual invocation.
