BANQUISE BLENDS METALCORE INTENSITY WITH ALT-ROCK EMOTION IN “CRYSTAL CAGE”

France’s rising heavyweights BANQUISE have unleashed their latest sonic assault, “Crystal Cage,” alongside a visually stunning new music video—and it’s a masterclass in emotional contrast.

True to their genre-bending style, BANQUISE merges the crushing power of metalcore breakdowns, thunderous drums, and throat-ripping screams with the moody elegance of alternative rock. Melancholic guitar lines, ghostly synths, and haunting vocal melodies give “Crystal Cage” a depth that cuts deeper than your typical headbanger.

The track thrives in that push-pull space between chaos and calm. When the brutality reaches its peak, the band pivots into a moment of aching vulnerability, allowing the clean vocals and somber tones to take center stage before plunging back into the storm.

The music video only amplifies the experience. Shot with striking cinematography and a bleak, atmospheric tone, it captures the raw energy of the band in full force, blending performance and emotion in a way that elevates the track to cinematic levels.

With “Crystal Cage,” BANQUISE proves they’re not just part of the metalcore conversation—they’re pushing it forward. Heavy, heartfelt, and hook-laced, this is a band that knows how to leave a mark.
