PHELIXX LAKE burst onto the metalcore scene in October 2022 with Recovery, a crushing debut that tackles the pain of losing fake friends while chasing personal growth. The track blends soaring, anthemic vocals with gritty basslines and aggressive guitar riffs, setting him apart from the start. His ability to mix euphonic electronic elements with metalcore grit earned him a spot on over 50 Spotify playlists, including All New Metal and Metal UK.
Relocating to Kansas City, PHELIXX LAKE quickly built international acclaim with his follow-up singles. Echo, released soon after Recovery, continued his streak of emotionally charged tracks, exploring the loneliness and identity struggles that come with personal transformation. Infrared, dropped through Ghost Killer Entertainment, marked a huge step in his career. The track balanced atmospheric melodies with intense breakdowns, embodying his dualistic style of soft harmonies and fierce screamo vocals.
In 2023, he raised the bar with Trapped, released via Scene Daddy’s YouTube channel. This track delivered relentless energy, pushing beyond traditional metalcore with an innovative fusion of emotion-driven post-hardcore. Collaborating with Joel Dickson, the song blended harsh and melodic vocals, underpinned by relentless rhythms and explosive drums, creating a sonic landscape that’s both ferocious and deeply moving.
With influences from 2000s icons like Senses Fail, A Day to Remember, and I Prevail, PHELIXX LAKE nods to his roots while crafting a distinctive sound that dives into themes of anxiety, heartbreak, and resistance against societal pressures. His latest singles, like Healing and Turning Point, show an artist unafraid to explore raw emotion, blending melodic interludes with heavy breakdowns and introspective lyrics that speak to the personal battles of self-determination and freedom.
As a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer, PHELIXX LAKE controls every element of his sound, while collaborating with artists from around the world. With each release, he continues to push metalcore forward, offering fans both a cathartic and head-banging experience. His journey is far from over, as he welcomes more collaborations and deeper explorations of the human condition through his music.
