Featured Tune: "Razorblade Romance" from Ray Noir

Velvet Fangs and Shattered Mirrors

Turn the lights low and brace yourself—Ray Noir’s “Razorblade Romance” is a reckoning dressed in leather and eyeliner. Dropping on Valentine’s Day 2025, it’s a raw industrial anthem that claws its way through pain and shame to scream survival. You don’t just listen to it—you feel it slicing through you, like the title promises.

Ray Noir, the queer POC trailblazer raised in Norway’s metal underworld, turns his scars into something definitely beautiful here. His voice is full of rage and resilience, teetering between haunting whispers and explosive cries, backed by the blistering guitar of none other than Steve Stevens (yes, that Steve Stevens—Billy Idol, Top Gun Anthem). The result? A track that feels like it’s crawling out of the grave just to dance in moonlight.

There’s this gothic shimmer layered over the grit—like mascara smudged from a tear-streaked face. “Razorblade Romance” doesn’t hide the darkness; it spotlights it, soundtracking a funeral that doubles as a rebirth. This is for the misfits, the outsiders, the queer kids who never saw themselves on stage—until now.

With this release, Ray Noir isn’t asking for your attention—he’s taking it. And honestly? We’re lucky to be witnessing it. Razorblade Romance is a love letter from the edge—and it absolutely shreds.

Ready to bleed in rhythm? Press play.
