Hana Piranha conjures a haunting spectacle in new video for ‘Elixir of Life’

Brighton’s Hana Piranha dives headfirst into decadence and decay with ‘Elixir of Life’, a sinister, high-voltage anthem that fuses razor-sharp guitar riffs with the eerie wail of violin. Inspired by The Picture of Dorian Gray, the track paints a portrait of beauty turned rotten, where the pursuit of eternal youth comes at a gruesome cost. This is gothic rock at its most theatrical, both intoxicating and menacing in equal measure.

The accompanying music video pushes the horror aesthetic to its furthest limits, featuring a nightmarish ballet sequence and a band slowly unraveling into grotesque, possessed versions of themselves. The transformation is both stunning and unsettling, mirroring the track’s relentless energy and creeping dread. It’s a fever dream drenched in shadows, channelling the high drama of Oscar Wilde’s infamous tale through a modern rock lens.

Taken from her latest album ‘Wingspan’, ‘Elixir of Life’ solidifies Hana Piranha’s reputation as an artist unafraid to blur the lines between beauty and brutality. With a past as stormy as her music, born during a hurricane, raised by a Catholic priest, and disillusioned with classical music, she pours every ounce of her tumultuous journey into her craft. For those craving music that seduces as much as it unnerves, ‘Elixir of Life’ is a must-watch, must-hear experience.
