Saskatoon/Toronto Artist Vikki Minor’s Grunge Anthem “The Labyrinth” is a Gothic Tale of Resilience

Vikki Minor, an award-nominated neo-90s alt-rock artist, unveils her latest single, “The Labyrinth.” Inspired by gothic fairytales and the grunge music she grew up loving, Minor delivers a cinematic, emotionally charged track exploring themes of depression and resilience. With its intense melodies and raw vocal performance, “The Labyrinth” marks a powerful evolution in her discography, blending the energy of her live shows with a sound reminiscent of 90s alternative icons like Alice in Chains and Garbage.

Minor collaborated with producer Zachary Zanardo (ZZ) to bring this track to life. The writing process for “The Labyrinth” was deeply personal, using the metaphor of a dark, gothic maze as a way to process her own struggles with depression. The result is a dynamic grunge anthem with dramatic shifts and an emotional journey packed into just over three minutes.

“The Labyrinth” was my way of conveying a dark time in my life through the lens of a mythical place. The metaphorical lyricism and intense melodies I get to belt out in the song is really cathartic. It’s a way to process emotions while creating something that’s deeply personal yet universal. – Vikki Minor
