Russian-born, Lancashire-based bedlamcore artist n0trixx released her debut album “A Catalogue of Madness and Melancholia” to great critical praise on Friday March 13th. The album is available to stream and purchase here.
To celebrate the release she has embarked on an extensive headline tour of the UK. The shows continue this week staring with The Dublin Castle in London on Thursday (March 19th) followed by another nine dates across the country. Full dates and tickets can be found at n0trixx.com/#live
Self-written and produced, “A Catalogue of Madness and Melancholia” captures, addresses, and reflects on several different mental health issues that have had a profound impact on n0trixx.
Regarding the album n0trixx says, “A Catalogue of Madness and Melancholia is a journey into the depths of a troubled mind. I was halfway through writing the album when I realised that every track I was working on was a sonic representation of a certain mental health issue. Further into the album, I managed to create a unique collection of disorders in an audio form. It invites the listener to experience what it might be like to struggle with one of these but also stresses how important it is to take care of mental wellbeing.”
‘Into the depths’ opens the album with an entrance into the asylum, imbued with dark, horror-filled electronics. The dark synths continue into ‘hysteria [БЕГN]’ where a propulsive beat develops as Depression ensues, while Suicidal Ideation grows as her twisted rap flows in her native tongue, alongside gasps for sanity.
‘harmless’ is a beautiful, majestic track, reflecting Borderline Personality Disorder, as n0trixx delivers soaring vocals among weightless synths. However, as she sings “crawling as I tear myself in two”, there’s a change and things get darker with a heavy mental collapse into a viscous metal chorus featuring riffs from Biomechanimal and Sacrificial Slabs guitarist Sarunas Brazionis.
Lead single ‘Revenge On God’ reflects the devasting effects of dementia for those in suffering and on the loved ones around them, presented by a huge barrage of heavy riffs delivered by The Wrong Kid Died guitarist Yentl Cambre, alongside a fierce rap flow, screams, and dark trap beats from n0trixx.
‘Hé Toi’ is a haunting multilingual trap performance piece written in collaboration with journalist John Paquin reflecting Dissociative Identity Disorder. With lyrics in French, English, and Russian, it represents internal dialogue between alters and fragmentation, reflecting the overstimulated, restless mind of someone living with ADHD. The beat jumps frenetically from trap to trance to metal to rave, unable to stay in one place.
‘Spectrum’ captures what Autism would sound like in audio form. As a partner to an autistic person, n0trixx has witnessed firsthand the challenges this condition can bring. The instrumental track reflects how sounds can become overwhelming, intense, and sometimes lead to sensory overload or meltdown.
‘Catalepsia’ is rooted in a 1960s interview with a catatonic Schizophrenic and embodies the collapse of reality and identity, featuring Warren Willis (ex-Linkin Park) on keys. Meanwhile ‘Living Nightmares’, featuring rap duo FMA + 12 Gage, reflects Psychosis with fractured trap beats, as FMA + 12 Gage rap in unison, while n0trixx sings beautifully softly in Russian.
‘narc (i’m so happy that you’re dead)’ is a blisteringly honest account of surviving Narcissistic Abuse from a parent, while ‘You Are Loved’ finishes the album with a tender mantra of self-acceptance and closure.
n0trixx permanently resides in Britain on the Global Talent Visa program for her music after fleeing Russia following her arrest for protesting the war in Ukraine. Living with Dissociative Identity Disorder and Borderline Personality Disorder, she reflects her life’s battle with darkness and suffering throughout all of her art.
