“Apocalypse” isn’t just a debut song—it’s a portal. The first offering from Nysiādes, a mesmerizing all-female collective of four artists from different backgrounds and disciplines, “Apocalypse” announces itself like a whispered prophecy. It doesn’t just knock politely at the door of your psyche—it slips in through the cracks and rearranges the furniture of your soul.
At its core, this track is about transformation. It captures that breathless moment of standing at the edge—of life, of grief, of clarity—and choosing to step forward into the unknown together. That’s the glue of Nysiādes: connection. It’s also what makes this song hit deeper than most electronic releases.
Born from what they describe as an “almost chance” meeting, the formation of Nysiādes already sounds like a myth in the making. Four women—Francesca Monte, Elena Kulstof, Rebecca Speller, and Yiolanda Loizou—found each other, and the result is something that feels both ancient and new, much like their sound.
There’s a sacred sort of electricity humming through “Apocalypse”. Not the fire-and-brimstone variety, but the quiet, internal apocalypse—the kind that strips you bare and leaves you staring at your own reflection with new eyes. It’s in the layered textures, the slow-burning tension, the sense that something is breaking down so something else can bloom.
“Apocalypse reflects on the idea of transformation, how collapse can, at times, bring clarity.”
Elena Kulstof crafted the beat, melody, and sonic textures, essentially building the world you step into when you hit play. Her background in both classical music and electronic production makes her the band’s architect of atmosphere.
Francesca Monte, with her smoky, spellbinding vocals and globally-acclaimed resume, brings the lyricism and topline, delivering each line like a spell cast mid-storm. If this song had a heartbeat, it would sound like her voice.
Rebecca Speller’s flute work adds that breath of ethereal air, making the track feel alive in ways electronic music sometimes forgets to. It’s grounding. It’s ghostly. It’s everything.
Yiolanda Loizou bridges the digital and the deeply human with her rich knowledge of Mediterranean folk and traditional instruments—you can feel the earth in what she brings to the mix.

This is a true collective effort, and it shows. Nothing is filler. Every sound, every pause, every breath—it’s intentional.
Nysiādes chose to release “Apocalypse” with Cafe De Anatolia, and honestly, it’s a match made in sonic heaven. The label is known for blending world music with electronic aesthetics, and this song fits that ethos like a glove woven from ancient rhythms and futuristic synths.
It’s not just a release—it’s a statement of belonging. A planting of the flag in a genreless territory.
The debut album version of “Apocalypse” also includes three remixes by Vikthor, Komoya, and Elihu. These are new visions of the original, each bringing a different mood or interpretation. It’s like watching a story retold from different angles, each one deepening your understanding of the original.
Nysiādes created “Apocalypse” for the in-between moments—the 3am soul-searches, the quiet drives after a big goodbye, the tear-streaked moments of unexpected relief. It’s meant to make you feel something—maybe even many things at once.
“Apocalypse” is the soundtrack to collapse, but also to rebirth. To endings, but also to the sacred beginnings that sneak in right after.
If you want a song that stays with you, that asks something of you, that reminds you that beauty can grow in the ashes—”Apocalypse” is your anthem.
Nysiādes aren’t just making music. They’re telling stories with bones and breath and blood, wrapped in synths and strings. And if this is only Chapter One?
We’re all in for a ride that’s going to be absolutely unforgettable.
“Apocalypse” is available now on all major streaming platforms
