NEWS - San Francisco's OCTAVIAN WINTERS unleash new dark & primal single 'Saints of Absolution'

FOR FANS OF: Sisters Of Mercy, Siouxsie and The Banshees, Clan Of Xymox, IAMX, Drab Majesty, Bauhaus, Joy Division, The Cure

San Francisco post-punk outfit Octavian Winters presents 'Saints Of Absolution', a dark and rich teaser of their debut album, out in early 2026 via Stratis Capta Records. Marrying their hallmark ethereal sound with a classic death rock vibe, this dark and primal offering follows the lead track 'Hermine'. Both singles accompanied by short films by Bay Area producer David Kruschke.

Guitarist Stephan Salit (Thrill of The Pull) channels his Eastern roots with a guitar motif that circles like a hypnotic dance, over a tribal groove by bassist Jay Denton and drummer Randy Gzebb (Thrill of The Pull, Love Club), which undulates below. Mesmerizing vocals by Ria Aursjoen (AURSJOEN) enter like temple incense wafting atop of the music - sinister and confessional, before building to a wild visceral delivery as the song builds to its intense ending.
