Supported by electronic and rock staples including deadmau5, Bring Me The Horizon, Senses Fail, Svdden Death, Kill The Noise, Of Mice &amp; Men, and more, HVDES brings a blackhearted yet thrilling aura to the next generation of electronic and rock music. With deep roots in her local alternative and punk scenes, HVDES possesses a versatile grasp of music across the spectrum, beginning with her earliest talents as a classical pianist. Armed with her influences in the rock scene and a laptop, HVDES found her sound by expressing her authentic self — turning the darkest corners of her life into music. She offers a strikingly sinister sound that resonates on the dance floor and in the mosh pit. Much like the ruler of the underworld, the sheer intensity of HVDES’ trademark sound represents her fierce persona.
There’s a reason HVDES has released on labels such as Kannibalen, Bloodhoney, Monstercat, and more; she’s carved out a lane for herself and herself alone with her own gritty, raw, and signature style. In 2019, HVDES unleashed her Stand Alone Complex EP, embarked on her first international tour across China and has since toured across the U.S. In 2020, she released her pivotal song &#8220;Fallout&#8221; and in 2022, co-produced and co-wrote the major re-imagination by Bring Me The Horizon &amp; Masked Wolf.
For the misfits and the misunderstood, HVDES delivers both a comforting and cutting-edge perspective on the dark side of life. Creating beauty where there’s pain, HVDES cuts deep in all the right places.
