REZZ Summons a New Era With “Prophecy” and Hints at Her Darkest Album Yet

There’s something ritualistic about the way REZZ reveals new music. Each release feels less like a single drop and more like the lifting of a veil—inviting us deeper into a sonic underworld she’s carefully architecting. With the release of “Prophecy,” the third single from her forthcoming fifth album As The Pendulum Swings, the Canadian producer doesn’t just up the ante—she redraws the map entirely.

Coming off last year’s CAN YOU SEE ME?, which leaned into crushing bass and dystopian theatrics, and 2023’s goth-tinged IT’S NOT A PHASE EP, REZZ now veers into new terrain with an announced blend of “French electro and dark techno.” But this isn’t about trends or revivalism. “Prophecy” makes it clear: she’s creating her own lore.

The track pulses with unease—an industrial heart beating beneath jagged, mutating synth lines. It’s cinematic in a way that doesn’t just suggest a soundtrack, it demands one. The basslines contort like smoke through cathedral rafters, punctuated by mechanical shrieks and subtle melodic threads that feel more felt than heard. There’s restraint in its chaos, a sense of choreography to the way it escalates. No moment is wasted. It’s as if REZZ is less interested in building a drop than building tension—and holding it there, like a breath never exhaled.

While As The Pendulum Swings has no official release date yet, it’s already shaping up to be REZZ’s most conceptually cohesive and daring project to date. The earlier singles, “Contorted” and “Telepathy,” suggested something menacing. “Prophecy” confirms it.

REZZ has long been a master of mood, but here she’s pulling something darker and more deliberate out of her toolkit—something rooted in discipline rather than distortion. The influences may point to Daft Punk’s grit or Gesaffelstein’s grandeur, but the voice behind it is unmistakably her own: eyes glowing, head down, fully in control of the chaos.
