Swedish dark electronic artists Memoria and Majestoluxe will release their new collaborative single “Closer” via Novoton on May 9, 2025. The single follows a series of joint live appearances in Germany and Sweden.
“Closer” blends Memoria’s soaring vocals and raw guitars with Majestoluxe’s industrial-driven rhythms. Novoton describes the track as “both haunting and savagely driving,” capturing the intense energy of the artists’ recent live performances.
The collaboration is not exactly surprising, both artists began appearing on each other’s stages during concerts across Germany and Sweden. According to Novoton, “Closer” represents “the explosive culmination of these electrifying live collaborations.”
