New Single "VIRUS" Out NOW!
MODERN ALTERNATIVE ROCK
I am ARDENITE, a Vienna-based female-fronted modern alternative rock artist.
I blend heavy guitars, drums and electronic textures with emotional, vulnerable lyrics, and sometimes screams.
I started out in a neon-drenched cyber pop rock world, but this new era is louder, darker and more honest. My upcoming 8-track album “NOT GOING DOWN” is for the overthinkers, the fighters and anyone who’s been knocked down and refuses to stay there.

Welcome to the NOT GOING DOWN era.
A heavy showdown with the toxic voice in your head
VIRUS
“VIRUS” is the soundtrack to that toxic voice in your head that never shuts up; the inner malware that keeps whispering “you’re not good enough” even when you’re giving everything you have. It dives into impostor syndrome, perfectionism and self-sabotage, turning all that pressure into a dark, cathartic storm.
With heavy guitars, pounding drums and emotionally raw vocals, this song captures the moment where your mind becomes the battlefield. It’s messy, vulnerable and brutally honest: a confession of how far those thoughts can drag you down when you start to believe them.
But “VIRUS” is also a fight back. It’s the moment you hit reset, face your demons and refuse to let them run the system anymore. If you’ve ever felt infected by doubt and shame, this is your purge: blast it, scream along and start overwriting the lies from your head.
A powerful anthem about recognizing toxic behavior
RED FLAG
"RED FLAG" is an unapologetic, raw, and empowering anthem about recognizing red flags in toxic relationships and having the courage to walk away. This track channels anger, frustration, and liberation into an explosive sound.
With aggressive vocals, bold lyrics, and an uncompromising attitude, this song speaks to everyone who's ever dealt with manipulation, narcissism, or emotional abuse. It's about trusting your instincts when your body gives you signals and choosing yourself over staying in harmful situations.
If you've ever needed permission to say "enough is enough" and kick toxicity to the curb - this is your battle cry! Turn it up loud and reclaim your power!
From drowning to flying, my most personal song yet
UNDERWATER
"UNDERWATER" is a powerful testament to overcoming life's difficult challenges. Born from the depths of anxiety and depression, this collaboration with VALKIRIA Synth transforms personal struggle into an anthem of triumph.
This song is for every fighter who refused to let the weight of their struggles define them. It's about learning to swim when you're drowning, building staircases from the stones that weighed you down, and emerging stronger than ever before.
If you've ever felt like giving up, this is your reminder that you are a gift to this world! Your story isn't over! You are not a victim and you have the power to define your own future. Turn up the volume and let this be your resilience soundtrack!

The harsh reality of mental health issues
Diamond
An Anthem of Vulnerability and Courage! “When I was a teen, I thought about killing myself, a lot. The thoughts in my head, of not belonging and never being enough, no matter what I did, were almost unbearable. I wrote this song as the embrace I needed to feel back then. Hope this helps somebody out there. You are not alone.” (Wana White, singer of ARDENITE)
Diamond” is a collaboration between the Uruguayan Lo-Fi Producer Claudia Blackstar and the Cyber Pop Rock Band ARDENITE from Vienna, Austria. While each of us faces our own demons on a daily basis, “Diamond” aims to reach through to the listener's heart. The soothing Lo-Fi beats combined with the heartfelt singing convey a sense of reassurance and relief.
The band invites their listeners to share this song with anyone dealing with the harsh reality of mental health issues. Together we can break the silence and the barriers between us!
A song as a form of protest and contribution!
Wake Up
With everything that is going on in the world right now, I felt like it was my duty to write this song as a form of protest and contribution! I stand with all of the ones who are suffering right now, because of decisions they didn't make themselves, yet still have to bear the horrible consequences! I see you and I feel your pain! You are not alone and what is happening is not ok!
Right now more than ever we should stand united like the brothers and sisters that we are! Right now more than ever we need each other to face the challenges lying ahead of us!
I enjoy surprising you!
Flowers Don´t Care
Flowers Don't Care may seem like --- and probably is --- your favourite summer party song! However this is just the bitter sweet package (which hopefully compels you to dance!) of its deeper meaning about life, death and dealing with the loss of a close soul.
Bittersweet, addictive and liberating all at once! What more could one ask for?

An explosion of emotions
Backstabber
Backstabber emerged in an explosion of emotions, caused by the betrayal of a very close person. As an anthem to the broken hearted, the dominant emotions of the single are rage and anger!
These are noticeable in the chorus and the ironically intonated rap parts.
These are noticeable in the chorus and the ironically intonated rap parts.
The protagonist of the song however also struggles with feelings of helplessness & sorrow, while processing the void of an ending relationship.
I want to meet YOU !
