The Catalyst – Syanna (aka Sandra Iannarelli) & Therian Shifter
A Hard-Techno / Hardcore album
Ghara Records – DOC Divertissement Obsessionnel Compulsif
Release on 21.08.2025
"Some music is made with hands.
Others with guts.
This one was forged straight from the nerves."
Two paths. Two comets launched in the 90s, now cutting through the same burning sky.
Syanna and Therian Shifter.
Two names. Two bodies. Two souls.
One scream.
SYANNA is the unexpected return of a pioneer. Once known as Kosmik Love, she was the ethereal icon of ambient and chill-out, the only one offering those celestial frequencies in a world obsessed with speed.
A regular at Switzerland’s most iconic raves – Energy 96, Sensor, Oxa, Tarot – her sound used to float, cosmic and tender.
But she’s come back from a long personal pause, reborn as Syanna, and she’s not here to whisper anymore.
Now she carves through silence with brutal techno, digging into darker, sharper terrain as part of the D.O.C. collective.
THERIAN SHIFTER is the shadow technician.
A relentless architect of sound.
While others chased lights, he studied structure — music theory, engineering, the violent poetry of breakcore, the elegance of classical, the raw edge of hardtechno.
A bedroom hardcore DJ in the 90s, a multidisciplinary craftsman ever since.
No hype. Just obsession.
“The Catalyst” is the collision.
The crash of light and fire.
An album born from a shared urgency — to scream what words can no longer carry.
The brutality of a collapsing world.
The numbness, the outrage, the silenced.
This is the sound of injustice processed through ten uncompromising tracks.
No gimmicks. No gloss. Just truth, crushed into kickdrums and scorched textures.
They don’t want to please. They want to scar.
And it shows.
Each track is a war cry for the forgotten, a hymn for the survivors, a trance ritual for those left standing when the music stops.
This is for the lucid mad ones, the dreamers who bled, the trembling bodies that won’t lie down.
Live, Syanna & Therian Shifter now perform back-to-back.
Their raw synergy is magnetic.
No performance. No pretension.
They don’t play — they surrender.
And the crowd feels every hit.
It’s physical. Honest. Devastating.
“The Catalyst” is not just an album.
It’s a transformation. A confrontation.
A howl from two raw-skinned artists who’ve learned to survive — and decided to turn pain into art.
An outlet.
A manifesto.
"We didn’t choose this sound.
The world forced it upon us.
And we answered."
