Dublin noise rock band PANIKATAX followed up their recent stomper “Rejection” with another new cut “Hand In Hand”.

It is a 6+ minute visceral exploration of tension and release, characterized by its relentless energy and raw, fierce sound. Heavy and addictive at the same time, it captures the essence of the group’s confrontational and cathartic approach to music.

The single is accompanied by an authentically apt video directed by the band, which was shot in Swords, Dublin on cheap mid-2000s handheld cameras.

Prepare for the sonic assault on your senses while listening to the latest one from Dublin noise rock four-piece PANIKATAX. “Rejection” hits hard and cuts through the noise, leaving an indelible mark on your musical psyche.

Their new, dark sound was largely developed during the lockdown of 2020-2021 when live music had subsided, providing the band with the opportunity to explore new directions. The result is brilliant and would definitely be appreciated by those leaning towards the darker/gloomier spectrum of things. The song seamlessly weaves together elements of punk rock, post-punk, noise rock, and experimental sounds, creating a musical tapestry that is both challenging and immensely satisfying.

The single is accompanied by a video directed by Ror Conaty. He explains his technique: “I processed the footage through circuit bent vintage analog vision mixers and rescanned it on a crt screen. I then combined that material with multi-layered analog feedback loops”.
