PRESS QUOTES
“There is a particular electricity that runs through the music of TRAITRS — a cold, urgent current that feels both haunted and alive.” - Apricot Magazine
“This is a record preoccupied with the body and the mind; how they fracture, how they shift, and how they betray. The lyrics move directly into difficult territory, circling themes of vulnerability and transformation with an unflinching gaze.” - Mystic Sons Review of Possessor (8/10)
“Clearly, For TRAITRS horror is less about escapism and more an opportunity for Confrontation, an approach that extends to the band's sound as much as its subject matter.” - Rue Morgue Magazine print issue #229
“The result is a song that feels at once sacred and hedonistic—a dance party in a cathedral—where shadows move in step with light.” - Post-punk.com on “Burn in Heaven”
“A psychic collision of gothic darkwave, proto goth, postpunk, like an amalgam of Christian Death, Joy Division, Depeche Mode, Bauhaus, it feels so perfectly rendered as to feel like found footage for another adjacent dimension.” - American Pancake
“The soft electric guitar immediately establishes an atmosphere filled with reflection and emotional weight, creating a spacious soundscape where every note feels carefully placed.”- Rockermag on “Dream Drowning”
“Echoing synths create a haunting foundation as guitars surge forward, while brooding vocals howl through the darkness like spectres—channeling the emotional weight of The Cure’s most introspective moments.” - Spill Magazine on “I Was Ill, You Were Wrong”
