Chaidura explores inner demons with dark single “Possess”

London-based artist Chaidura delves into the shadows with his latest digital single Possess, released on October 25, and is extracted from the latest EP Temple Paradise. The haunting track explores themes of inner conflict and acceptance, layering introspective lyrics over a blend of trap beats, ethereal melodies, and a theatrical and demonic climax. The song’s sound takes inspiration from the American instrumental band Polyphia, and is described as a journey to confront one’s inner demons—a vital step toward self-healing.

The single Possess is available for download and streaming on digital platforms, listen to it below via Spotify.

Chaidura’s music journey has exhibited influences from visual kei, hinted at in earlier covers of Japanese artists like the GazettE, XaaXaa, and Mejibray on his YouTube channel. Today, his goal is to craft a new genre of pop that combines immersive storytelling.

Besides the new single Possess, we suggest that you also take a listen to the EP’s title track, Temple Paradise, which is accompanied by a divine music video with a fierce metal sound. If you’re interested in the EP, you can purchase it over at Chaidura’s online store, available in both digital and physical format.
