Brazilian artist Amandha Ribaski has just unveiled the latest single from her solo project, Amphettamine, a visceral, darkwave-infused reimagining of the Christian Death classic, Romeo’s Distress. This marks the third and final installment in a series of covers leading up to her highly anticipated second full-length album, following her previous takes on Type O Negative’s Anesthesia and Bonnie Tyler’s Total Eclipse of the Heart.

For Ribaski, this isn’t just a trip down memory lane; Romeo’s Distress has been a foundational influence on her own songwriting and her art-first philosophy. Based in Curitiba, she has spent the last few years carving out a space in the gothic and industrial scene by rejecting commercial stereotypes in favor of something more sincere. As she puts it, her goal is to create music from the heart, and this tribute to Christian Death serves as a definitive artistic statement of that intent.​

By blending the intensity of Post-Grunge with the cold, atmospheric textures of Darkwave and Industrial, Amphettamine manages to keep the original spirit of the track alive while making it feel entirely her own. It’s a perfect bridge to her upcoming record, showcasing a musical identity that values depth over concessions. Romeo’s Distress is available now on all digital platforms for anyone looking to dive into the darker side of the Brazilian underground.
