NEOCLASSICAL ARTIST ANTINOË SET TO RELEASE FIRST SINGLE FROM NEW ALBUM

From the mountains of Madrid comes Antinoë, the haunting one-woman project of pianist and vocalist Teresa Marraco. With her ethereal voice and stark, piano-driven arrangements, Antinoë shapes soundscapes where neoclassical elegance collides with the atmospheric weight of metal, weaving music that is at once fragile, immersive, and profoundly melancholic. Fans of artists like Agnes Obel or Enya will find resonance here, yet Antinoë’s world is darker, steeped in reflection, loss, and yearning.

We’re happy to announce the release of the album, “The Fold”, on the 21^st of November on Dark Essence Records.

The first single from the album is called “Threshold” and can be heard here:

ANTINOË has this to say about “Threshold”

“Threshold” is a desperate cry for mortality, where fear tightens into nocturnal panic and suffocation. A piece of raw, twisted intensity, spiraling towards the idea of a final pain —an ultimate agony of the body on its final moment, so overwhelming it distorts time into a single, unending instant at the edge of life.

Since its inception in 2021, Antinoë has embraced a uniquely personal approach to darkness, building her songs around intimate piano compositions intertwined with her rich, resonant voice. Marraco’s background in extreme music further anchors her vision: she has collaborated with acts such as Coldborn, Elffor, Balmog, and Empty, and recorded the piano/keyboard parts for Dimmu Borgir’s live performance of Det Nye Riket at Beyond the Gates Festival. Her 2023 debut, “Whispers from the Dark Past”, an acoustic reinterpretation of 90s Norwegian black metal classics, garnered critical attention and cemented her distinctive identity on the border between metal and neoclassical expression.
