Nicole Marxen’s The Executioner, from her upcoming album Thorns, is a searing reflection on professional and personal chaos. Written during the fallout from the collapse of her major client, The Richards Group, the track channels Marxen’s profound rage and helplessness. With haunting vocals and a shadowy, atmospheric production by Alex Bhore, it explores the fallout of systemic failures and the shifting dynamics of power. The song challenges listeners to question whether real change occurs when powerful entities fail or if the patriarchy merely morphs to maintain control. For fans of intense, introspective rock, The Executioner is a powerful, thought-provoking listen.
More anthemic than Zola Jesus & Chelsea Wolfe combined!
“It was important for me to show up to this material imperfectly,” Marxen says
