Ataraxic Void enter the music scene with their single “Fall Apart”, a track that intertwines decidedly alternative sounds with a clear influence of the Seattle sound. This track is inspired by bands like Alter Bridge, transmitting an intense and reflective atmosphere.
Text and Video: A Message of Transience
The lyrics of “Fall Apart” offer a reflection on the fragility and transience of life, acting as a modern memento mori. The lines, such as “I'm a clone of a clone / forget about me and leave me alone / we're hopeless anyway / just ash again one day”, evoke images of human vulnerability. The video, set in a post-apocalyptic context, accentuates the themes of a society in crisis, representing humanity grappling with the consequences of its mistakes.
The Band: Evolution and Style
Formed in 2019 by Franz, Ataraxic Void marks the guitarist and vocalist’s return to the scene after a long absence. The band went through several lineup changes before finding its current stability. Sal, with his experience on drums, and Vinz on bass, known for his crossover approach, form the solid rhythmic base of the group. Andre, guitarist and singer, completes the quartet by adding rock influences from the 80s and 90s. This synthesis of experiences gave birth to the album “Anthems for Those Who Are Stranded in a Blind Spot”, which reflects the band’s musical aesthetic characterized by post-grunge and alternative rock themes.[Watch the official video for “Fall Apart”](https://youtu.be/qhJOW6_zesI?feature=shared)

The Ataraxic Void album is really interesting, but I don't know if I can really understand the meaning of the lyrics. It seems a bit complicated to me and the themes of fragility and transience are sad. However, the music is beautiful.
