Lana Del Rabies is a captivating force in underground heavy music. Her harsh, crushing brand of gothic industrial has earned acclaim from The Quietus, Metal Hammer, Anthony Fantano, and more. Her work evokes the underground industrial sounds of Einstürzende Neubauten, Pharmakon, and Diamanda Galás, blended with the inventive heaviness of Godflesh and The Body, and the lo-fi darkness of early Have a Nice Life.
She's known for intense, immersive live performances at festivals including Roadburn (Tilburg), Coldwaves (Chicago and New York), Sled Island (Calgary), Prepare the Ground (Toronto), Northwest Terror Fest (Seattle), New Forms (Vancouver), Soulcrusher (Nijmegen), Blow Up (Helsinki), and HoCo (Tucson), as well as tours with Author & Punisher, 3TEETH, Pharmakon, JPEGMAFIA, and John Wiese. She's been hand-selected by artists including clipping., Midwife, HEALTH, Bell Witch, I Speak Machine and Bestial Mouths to open for their live shows.
Her name references early work sampling female pop musicians into melancholic noise tracks. Since then, her music has evolved to explore the brutality of what it means to be human in a world consumed by the threat of apocalypse, praised for its unique blend of quietly macabre and wildly maximalist sound. Her music is inherently tied to the worlds she builds visually, creating a potent, beautiful, and darkly transcendent experience.
In 2025, she founded her art-focused record label, Feral Crone Recordings, and released two critically praised, boundary-pushing EPs that year: Le Temps Viendra and Omnipotent Fuck. She is currently working on a forthcoming studio record.
