 Margarita Band PhotoMargarita Confront Loss and Inner Turmoil on ‘Abysses of Melancholia’ [Listen] Paris doom/sludge/shoegaze trio Margarita unveil their debut full-length, Abysses of Melancholia, today (on October 9) on vinyl and across digital/streaming platforms via Electric Valley Records.
Margarita says of the album:
“From ‘Blood Incantation,’ where pain becomes a means of expression, to the hazy and melancholic ‘Melting Days,’ the album explores loss on both personal and universal levels. Figures appear and fade: a lonely man, a disappearing self, memories of those who are no longer there.
“Themes of abandonment and refusal run through the record. ‘Not a Mother’ rejects imposed roles and inherited expectations, questioning identities shaped by absence and anger. ‘Abyssal Pain’ turns violence and resentment into a kind of epiphany, where destruction becomes a form of control.
“‘The album closes with ‘Better Off Alone,’ settling into a quieter form of solitude and the weight of unspoken wounds.”ORDER Abysses of Melancholia on vinyl from the label’s WEBSTORE or BANDCAMP. Stream the album on YouTube below, or listen on your preferred digital/streaming platform HERE. 
Margarita is a Paris-based trio, formed in 2022 by Julie, Julie, and Karen. They play heavy doom steeped in distortion and deep melancholy. Their songs dwell on inconsolable loss, disenchantment, unreachable redemption, and a visceral rejection of toxic masculinity. After releasing their self-titled EP in 2023, they played across France, Belgium, and Switzerland.
At its core, Margarita shares the impulse to expose inner chaos, to embrace going off track, and to turn vulnerability into something loud, raw, and unapologetic. Driven by a relentless need to follow darkness, the trio follows one rule: to black sabbath themselves into oblivion.
Margarita’s debut album, Abysses of Melancholia, follows a slow descent shaped by memory, anger, and loss. Throughout the record, the trio explores aching bodies, fractured identities, and a past that never really goes away. The record drifts through disappearing selves, lingering absences, and the emotional aftermath, examining how pain can both imprison and redefine those left to carry it.
Blending doom, sludge, heavy psych, and shoegaze, Margarita builds dense, slow-burning tracks where brute force and fragility coexist. Heavy riffs meet layers of reverb and texture, creating a sound that is both crushing and introspective. For this album, the band added synth layers and electronic percussion to their usual guitar, bass, and drums setup, bringing more depth and a strong sense of melancholy to the songs.
