Tritonic – “Alexamenos!” (Single Release)
Like a
burst of light from the solar plexus, Tritonic’s new single “Alexamenos!”
crashes into being with a brutal elegance—melding sludge metal weight with
soaring, infectious power-pop guitar duels. Played on handmade fretless
guitars, the song feels unstable yet transcendent, warping traditional genre
boundaries into something otherworldly. Tritonic fuse the crushing doom of Acid
Bath with the melodic wails of Baroness, creating a sound that’s both primal
and expansive.
The
accompanying music video is a cosmic fever dream, crafted entirely with DIY
practical effects—kit-bashed spaceships, shimmering gold paint, and colored ink
in water. Set against a backdrop of ancient-future imagery, the video explores
time, faith, and fragility as its pilots drift across a medieval map in a
rickety starcraft.
This is not
just a song—it’s a confrontation with the limits of perception and the clichés
of heavy music. The fretless instruments invite chaos and ambiguity, pushing
against the polished precision of modern production.
“Alexamenos!” is the first transmission from Bend
the Arc!, Tritonic’s upcoming second album—available exclusively on
wax-dipped cassette and nowhere on streaming platforms. Releasing
November 23, 2025, Bend the Arc! demands destruction in pursuit of
meaning. Pre-orders are open now. Choose to listen.
