Following the success of her debut single “I Won’t Let You Go”, Argentine singer RANTHIEL continues her rise in Symphonic Metal with the release of “The Presence”, her second single. Inspired by Guy de Maupassant’s 1887 horror story “The Horla,” the song and its accompanying music video invite listeners to explore the fine line between reality and madness, capturing the torment of a protagonist haunted by an invisible presence. Ranthiel delivers a dramatic erformance that blends elements of gothic rock, fantasy, and the unsettling sound reminiscent of iconic horror film scores in the style of Danny Elfman.

This music video was made possible by the support of her followers through crowdfunding, filmed in Buenos Aires and directed by Ranthiel herself. “The Presence” visually depicts the agony of Maupassant’s protagonist, who is besieged by an oppressive, invisible presence, uncertain if it is real or a manifestation of a psychiatric disorder. Her talented voice alternates between her popular singing technique and her lyrical voice to portray both the narrator and the malevolent
presence, a contrast that amplifies the tension and mental decline experienced by the main character.

Ranthiel shares her insights about the production:

” With the video for ‘The Presence,’ I aimed to capture that desperate and claustrophobic atmosphere that reflects the internal struggle of the protagonist, trapped between dreams, reality, and her own demons. It’s a reflection of human fragility and how we can be haunted by our own shadows. I knew that the month of Halloween was the perfect opportunity to tell this story”.
