My Exclusive Interview With Sirena
When you listen to sirena's music, you're diving into a shadowy world of late-night performances, dark city streets and angelic harmonies that practically lift you off the ground. In fact, her music and aesthetic are so intertwined that it seems like a mistake to enjoy one without the other. This interview dives into the thought process behind her hazy blue snapshots and deep, passionate records--and once you return to the surface, you'll feel like part of your subconscious is irrevocably changed.

10 Weirdcore Tracks That Sound Like a Fever Dream. Top Story - August 2026.
With the popularity of liminal photography and films like 2026's Backrooms , weirdcore is having a moment. It's not quite horrorcore, but it's not clean and cheerful enough to fit into the pop categories, either. Some artists ditch the pop influences and veer off in another direction, creating music that sounds like the soundtrack to a child's nightmare. Whatever the case, this playlist contains weirdcore tracks from all ends of the spectrum--and if you're ready to get weird, sit back and let these songs plunge you into a feverish haze.

TH3ION — Myraina
The sea does not forget. It only stops showing you what it holds. Myraina: the moray. The serpent that does not swim so much as wait — coiled in the crevice, patient, all mouth. This rite goes under. Ten instrumental movements of harsh EBM, cut with cinematic, neo-noir depth, that do not describe a descent so much as perform one: the water closing overhead, the light going amber, then brown, then gone.

Massive Attack: Totally Wack
“[T]here are many here among us for whom the life force is best represented by the livid twitching of one tortured nerve, or even a full-scale anxiety attack. I do not subscribe to this point of view 100%, but I understand it, have lived it. Thus the shriek, the caterwaul, the chainsaw gnarlgnashing, the yowl and the whizz that decapitates may be reheard by the adventurous or emotionally damaged as mellifluous bursts of unarguable affirmation. And one could, if so inclined, take it even further than that…”

TH3ION — Korakotheletros

10 Ethereal Tracks That Leave You Haunted. Top Story - June 2026.
Midwestern girls see the dark side of Americana. Abandoned gas stations, tattered American flags, greasy diners, overgrown graveyards--that's the side of small town life that you don't see in Hallmark movies, and it often feels like bedroom pop artists are the only ones who understand. These artists compose eerie, ghostly arrangements that make you think of spirits rising out of the church graveyard and flying over an empty town before they disappear.

The Living Was Food and Others
That damned robot told me I should begin this post like this: "For twenty years I've been releasing experimental music and noise recordings. Looking back through the liner notes, I realized they form a strange autobiographical record of ghosts, dreams, folklore, death, true crime, philosophy, and the underground noise scene itself."

TH3ION — Kentrokathros. Content Warning. AI-Generated.
Kentron: the sting. Katharsis: the cleansing. Poison and cure meet at a single point — and that point is the centre of you.

TH3ION — Arachnephilia. Content Warning. AI-Generated.
To love the spider is the first step of the rite. The bite that takes the mind is the same that gives it back — but only to those who follow the thread all the way down.

TH3ION — The Synthetic Rite. Content Warning. AI-Generated.
Where the bitten once danced, the machine now keeps the rhythm. There is a wound in the south of Italy that never fully closed. In Salento — the ancient heel of the peninsula, ground once sown by Magna Graecia — the bitten danced for days, until the spider's venom was spent and the emptied body was given back to itself. They called it possession. They called it cure. We call it the first rite. TH3ION begins there, at the threshold where ecstasy and affliction wear the same face.
