Toronto-based cold wave duo TRAITRS unveil their latest single, “Burn In Heaven,” now available across all major music platforms. This track serves as the lead single from their forthcoming album, Possessor, slated for release in early 2026.
“Burn In Heaven” showcases TRAITRS’ signature blend of atmospheric synths, driving rhythms, and emotionally charged lyrics. The song delivers a powerful and anthemic sound that marks a bold evolution in the band’s sonic landscape.
To complement the single, TRAITRS are releasing an exclusive b-side titled “This Sick Kiss,” available only on limited edition 7” vinyl and CD formats.
TRAITRS have established themselves as a formidable force in the alternative music scene, captivating audiences worldwide with their electrifying live performances and distinctive sound. “Burn In Heaven” reaffirms their position as one of the most compelling acts in contemporary cold wave and post-punk music.
With their cinematic blend of horror-based imagery, anthemic choruses, motorik drum loops, atmospheric synths and angular guitars, Canadian cold wave duo TRAITRS stare unflinchingly at our dystopian present while paying homage to artists from the post-punk past. In the decade since their debut record to now, the Toronto-based TRAITRS went from bedroom artists selling cassette tapes on a small boutique record label to accumulating millions of streams worldwide and performing hundreds of shows on massive stages across multiple continents.
With their much-anticipated new album Possessor, produced by long-time collaborator Josh Korody (The Beaches, The Dirty Nil, Japandroids, Tanya Taqaq, F*cked Up) and mastered by Matt Colton (The Cure, Depeche Mode, Fontaines D.C., Wet Leg, Dua Lipa, Blur, etc), TRAITRS continue to develop their melancholic sound and imagery with the emotional follow up to 2021’s critically acclaimed LP Horses in the Abattoir.
