French heavy psych/desert rock trio Starmonger announces new single and music video »Sirenia«; out on October 28th!

Paris, France based heavy psych/desert rock trio Starmonger has announced the release of their new single and music video »Sirenia«, which will see the light on October 28th, 2026.

»Sirenia« embodies Starmonger’s signature sound, as the track journeys through a rollercoaster of contrasting atmospheres: pounding riffs, vocals sometimes ethereal sometimes unsettling, epic choruses, a frenetic break, and a relentless finale at the heart of the maelstrom… »Sirenia« explores the call of the void: as the sole survivor of a shipwreck at sea, a sailor feels irresistibly drawn back to the waves, to the song of the sirens and the depths, toward promises of oblivion and abandonment.

The title evokes the “Sirenians,” a biological genus obviously linked to the fascinating and dangerous mythological creatures we all know, but also ironically suggesting the ponderous nature of the song’s riffs.

The release of »Sirenia« is accompanied by a cinematic music video set in a horror/science-fiction universe:
In a dark and suffocating future, a man sets out to rescue a scientific expedition with mysterious objectives, which has gone to explore an abandoned structure in the depths. But what they’re looking for could prove deadly.
• Directed by Sebastien Antoine
• Starring David Van Severen, Neko Hecate, feat. Starmonger.

»Sirenia« will be released on October 28 online (music video and streaming) and on CD, along with two tracks recorded during an acoustic live session in December 2025, and a 16-bits version that will delight fans nostalgic for the Mega Drive/Super Nintendo era.

Starmonger will open for Valley Of The Sun on October 29 in Paris (Backstage by the Mill) and will perform their new single exclusively on stage!
