Souls is the inaugural release of the folkwave music artist Tragoe, in collaboration with Matt McJunkins of A Perfect Circle on guest vocals.

Musically influenced by new wave and synthpop artists Depeche Mode & Joy Division, as well as folk metal pioneers The HU, Wardruna, and Heilung, the music of Tragoe is performed exclusively with traditional Greek folk instruments.

Critics have described Tragoe’s music as ‘inventive’, ‘dark’, and ‘captivating’.

The music video of Souls is shot in rural Greece. It narrates the metamorphosis of a regular human into Tragoe Damon, through a pagan ritual inspired by the Greek mythology. The narrative of Tragoe will unfold in the upcoming music videos.

The whole album will be released on April 1st 2022.

“It’s really blown me away. I’m going now to listen all over again!”
- John Psathas, composer for Athens Olympic Games

lyrics

Lyrics:

Metal and fire
It’s burning desire
I know

Metal and fire
It’s burning desire
I know

And it’s burning me!
It’s burning inside
It’s burning me!
It’s burning me bright

It is my soul
Could ‘ave been a trial
It’s my soul
Could ‘ave been denial

(Burn… fire…
Could ‘ave been a trial
Burn… fire…
Could ‘ave been denial
It is my soul
Could ‘ave been a trial
It is my soul
Could ‘ave been denial)

Metal and fire…

Take me
Please don’t break me
Mold me into your vision

Wake me
Don’t mistake me
Lead me towards your mission

But it’s burning
It’s burning inside
It’s burning me!
It’s burning me bright

It is my soul...
