A palpable, almost electric tension runs through Damien Cain’s universe in « (Desire) A Deadly Temptation », a track taken from the album « Standarte » that pulls listeners into an inner theater filled with emotion. Blending alternative rock, gothic shades, and melodic metal intensity, the song explores temptation and the contradictions that live within the human mind. The music video, shaped by a mysterious atmosphere, features Évrard Jabier in a striking black-and-white performance, shifting between attraction and restraint in a series of intimate scenes where every glance feels like a silent battle. The deliberately raw, almost hypnotic aesthetic deepens the sense of a dangerous, irresistible, burning love. « You’re the poison running through my veins » perfectly captures that magnetic pull that unsettles and fascinates at once. A haunting dive into the most sensitive corners of the soul, brought to light by Slash Music.

« Standarte » : Journey, Identity, and a New Momentum for Damien Cain
Songwriter, composer, and performer, Damien Cain approaches music as something deeply necessary. From a young age, he began writing his own lyrics before forming his first band and stepping onto stages that would lead to years of collaborations, projects, and creative evolution. Over time, he carved out a place in the alternative scene with a distinctive signature built on emotional depth and sonic power. His work has reached audiences far beyond borders, earning international radio play and recognition through releases that gained cult status within specialized circles. His artistic philosophy is reflected in his own words: « I don’t write songs to be understood. I write them because they wouldn’t disappear otherwise ».
With « Standarte », a seventeen-track album available since December two thousand twenty-five on CD and vinyl through his official website, Damien Cain delivers a deeply personal record shaped by sharp guitars, dark atmospheres, and introspection. Mixed at Hellfire Studio in Dublin, the project moves through themes of identity, change, and memory while remaining firmly rooted in the present. The year two thousand twenty-six has only just begun, and the artist already seems ready to turn the page toward what comes next, so keep a close watch on Damien Cain…
