Eerie and brooding, ‘You Betray’ hits us thick and fast, thanks to an intense listening experience, one that feels introspective, yet deeply obscure and dark. You see, the song is quite cathartic, yet not in the conventional sense. Exploring the deepest corners of human consciousness, especially the self-sabotaging and self-destructive ones, ‘You Betray’ seeks to find a path forward among a chaotic emotional journey, exposing Electron’s nuanced songwriting flair and their observant outlook on behavioural and psychological themes.
Hailing from London, Electron have made a name for themselves thanks to a great deal of inspired, hard-hitting metalcore, paying equal attention to the sonic picture – fierce, raw and vivid – and the lyrical one, offering relatable pieces boasting a certain horror-esque quality. There is nothing truly scary, of course, but we suspect that confronting inner demons might not be an easy or comfortable feat for anyone out there. Electron’s vocals shift between rock melodism and haunting scream tones.
Championed by the likes of Kerrang!, Total Rock, and PowerPlay Magazine, among others, it’s clear that Electron are on an upward path. Delving deeper into the record, the group explains: “It fully captures that chaos, projecting it outward while grounding it in a deeply introspective core. Refusing to shy away from emotional volatility, the track confronts self-sabotage and the fractured mirror of identity”.
