Blackout

Nick Betschart & Dyeana

Blackout is a four-track EP by Swiss artist Nick Betschart and Dyeana, released through R3cords Three Production Studios. Built around cinematic rock, alternative pop, pop rock, and emotionally charged storytelling, the EP explores what happens when ordinary life is interrupted by impact, grief, rage, silence, and pressure.

Across its four tracks, Blackout does not approach darkness as a surface-level aesthetic. It treats darkness as a state of collapse: the moment a phone call changes the shape of a life, the instant emotional warmth freezes into revenge, the long drive after words were left unsaid, and the invisible vibration that moves through matter before anyone can name what is happening. The title becomes more than a visual concept. It represents an emotional power failure, a sudden disappearance of certainty, and the fragile space between shock and survival.

The EP opens with “4:07”, a devastating narrative of loss framed around the exactness of time. The song contrasts everyday domestic details with the violence of an accident, turning a specific timestamp into a permanent wound. From there, “Absolute Zero” shifts into a colder, more confrontational space, where betrayal, manipulation, and emotional damage transform into a merciless refusal to keep forgiving what keeps destroying. “A Million Last Words” returns to grief from another angle: regret, memory, and the endless inner conversation with someone who is no longer there to answer. Closing the EP, “Subsonic” expands the emotional language into something almost geological, using pressure, infrasound, vibration, and structural collapse as metaphors for forces that are felt before they are understood.

Vocally and conceptually, Nick Betschart & Dyeana move between intimacy and scale. The songs are written with vivid imagery, direct emotional stakes, and a cinematic sense of tension. Rather than presenting four disconnected tracks, Blackout works as a compact emotional sequence: impact, freeze, aftermath, pressure. It begins in human tragedy and ends in physical force, as if grief itself has become measurable through sound, speed, temperature, and mass.

The EP’s strength lies in its refusal to soften the subject matter. It does not decorate pain. It documents it, weaponizes it, questions it, and finally lets it echo through something larger than the individual story. Blackout is a release about moments that cannot be undone, words that cannot be unsaid, and damage that continues to move long after the first visible break.

Rip the Curtain

Nick Betschart, Sára Zakari & Dyeana

Released under the banner of R3cords Three Production Studios, the collaborative powerhouse of Nick Betschart & Dyeana delivers a 5-track masterpiece that completely shatters traditional genre boundaries. "Savage Symphony" isn't just an EP; it is a meticulously crafted cinematic universe—a brutal but beautiful ride through chaos, adrenaline, and ultimate catharsis.

Blending the aggressive edge of dark pop-rock, the dusty melancholy of cinematic alternative rock, and the neon-lit rush of high-octane dance-pop, the duo explores a dystopian narrative of system overloads, shattered dreams, and finding salvation in the wreckage.

The Sonic Journey: Track by Track

1. Savage Symphony: The EP opens with a bombastic pop-rock epic. Nick’s gritty, arrogant spoken-word intro sets a dystopian, glitching stage before Dyeana’s commanding lead vocals tear through the matrix. It is a massive, theatrical declaration of war against the "Shadow Queen" and the global class.

2. A Thousand Nights: The high energy bleeds seamlessly into track two. With Nick and Dyeana sharing the lead, this pop-rock anthem captures the dizzying blur of flashing lights, million-dollar lies, and the crushing weight of sensory overload.

3. Catching the Spark: The pace shifts dramatically into heavy, cinematic alternative rock. Driven by a dragging, earthy rhythm, Nick takes the lead with a raw, emotional performance laced with Dyeana’s haunting ad-libs. It’s the sound of a "Thunder Road Rebel" choking on tangled roots, catching their breath before the final storm.

4. Ignite (feat. Sára Zakari & MaXta): The storm hits. Taking a hard left into aggressive, high-speed dance-pop, Dyeana takes the wheel in this pure, unfiltered adrenaline rush. Bolstered by explosive vocal contributions from Sára Zakari and MaXta, it is a neon-lit chase sequence culminating in a massive, floor-shaking drop.

5. Scar Tissue & Sunlight: The EP closes on a devastatingly beautiful note. A heavy, melancholic alternative rock ballad where Nick leads the listener through the aftermath. Accompanied by Dyeana's background vocals, it is the musical equivalent of a dusty sunrise after a night of total destruction—running on nothing but "scar tissue and sunlight."

""Savage Symphony" is an unapologetic, genre-bending thrill ride. Dyeana and Nick Betschart haven't just recorded an EP; they have crafted a world where shadows rule, engines roar, and every scar tells a story."

Behind the Symphony: The Architects of the Chaos

A sonic universe as massive as the Savage Symphony doesn't build itself; it requires a visionary team operating at the highest level of the industry. Produced by Nick Betschart under the powerhouse label R3cords Three Production Studios, the EP is a masterclass in modern audio engineering and collaborative artistry.

While Nick Betschart spearheaded the music and lyrics alongside the captivating dual-lead vocal performances of himself and Dyeana, the EP's instrumental depth was further expanded by musical contributions from Sára Zakari and Diego Rinaldi.

Behind the scenes, the project was brought to cinematic life by an elite technical crew. Guided by Executive Producer ATTXZXRECORDS and Production Manager Cyan Parkza, the raw, emotional energy of the performances was captured by Recording Engineers Blerim Gashi and Tedd, supported by Sound Engineer Marvin Tari. Finally, the explosive, crystal-clear polish that defines the EP's signature sound was sculpted by Mixing Engineer Emyxtra and finalized by Mastering Engineer Jelena— ensuring every beat drop, glitch, and whispered lyric hits with devastating precision.
