Scene Queen brings TX2 and Left To Suffer into the bimbocore chaos of METALICIOUS
Scene Queen has released her new EP, METALICIOUS, via Hopeless Records. The seven-track release pushes her bimbocore world further into abrasive territory, pairing Y2K pop imagery with weightier riffs, deathcore flourishes and some of her most ferocious vocals to date.
The EP arrives alongside Drop Dead Gorgeous, a new collaboration with TX2. It follows previously released tracks Manicure, Tracksuit and the title track, which features Left To Suffer vocalist Taylor Barber.
While METALICIOUS keeps Scene Queen’s bright, knowingly overblown aesthetic intact, the record is built around a more confrontational sound, from the opening Pink Flip Phone to the heavier closing title track.
Heavier screams beneath the flip-phone gloss
Discussing the EP, Scene Queen said: “METALICIOUS the EP is as chaotic recession pop, Y2K-coded, metal madness. I wanted an EP that was as fun to make as when I was writing the Bimbocore volumes and making music was fresh and new to me.
“In the spirit of Bimbocore, I experimented with the pop influences, but this time the heavy parts are the heaviest they’ve ever been. From deathcore features, to me laying down some of my lowest screams yet, this EP was as fun to make for me as it sounds throughout. Yes there’s some trauma dumping in there, but it’s a Scene Queen EP so what do you expect?”
