Formed in 2020 in the coastal city of Nice in France, Divine Decadence is an exciting act in the underground music scene, blending genre film music with a mix of post punk, darkwave, electronic and rock. Originally starting out as a duo, the band quickly expanded, evolving into the quartet it is today, featuring the talents of Sabrina on guitars and synths, Tatiana on vocals and synths, bass player Christophe and Fabrice on drums.
Divine Decadence is inspired by a huge range of sources, from the atmospheric depths of genre cinema to artists like PJ Harvey, Depeche Mode, The Velvet Underground and The Cure. These influences stitch familiar threads into the band’s highly original sonic fabric, creating a darkly thrilling and theatrical soundscape.
Making their official artistic entrance in May 2022, they released their debut single “Purple Dress,” followed up by sophomore outing “Chaos In My Head” before their first eponymous EP arrived that autumn. This initial burst of creative output was marked by the arrival of two new members, Christophe on bass and Fabrice on drums, who helped the band further develop its musical identity and shared sonic vision.
Since expanding to a four-piece, Divine Decadence has been steadily working on new material as well as bringing their music alive on stage. Now bringing us the first taste of their sound as a four-piece outfit, they share their brand new single titled “No Turning Back,” a gripping anthem that taps into the anger and frustration of living in a collapsing world.
Started off with the haunting sound of bubbling, muted voice samples and erratic piano lines, the track erupts with striking drums, pulsing bass lines, atmospheric guitar textures and dark piano dashes. As Tatiana’s commanding vocals enter, the energy swells to form a driving alternative rock sound brimming with moody aesthetic and a shifting arrangement of stuttered, processed guitar tones, splashing percussion and enthralling lead melodies.
Tinged with danceable energy and wrapped in a brooding shroud of dark sonic intensity, “No Turning Back” serves up a powerful and rousing listening experience that opens an exciting new chapter for this must-watch band. Paired with the single is a new music video that features abstract scenes in black and white to deliver a cinematic experience to perfectly accompany the music.
