A1 · Debut
Loading… Please Don’t Feel
Corrupted genesis: synthetic emotions, broken code, human scars. Electro-infused metalcore with a cold digital pulse – the moment where the system first misbehaves.
Our Story
Digital scars. Analog rage.
Glitch & Grief is an experimental music project at the crossroads of artificial intelligence, metal, and raw emotion. What started as a late-night experiment turned into a fully-formed band concept – with AI as instrument, not replacement.
What Glitch & Grief is
A female-fronted, AI-assisted metal project that treats riffs and algorithms with the same respect. Heavy music, honest storytelling, and a clear visual identity – built in the tension field between code and catharsis.
The sound blends modern metalcore, hard rock, emo-electro and glitchy industrial textures. Drop-tuned guitars and groove-driven drums share space with cinematic hooks and processed voices. Every track is either an opener – or a confession.
For fans of Halestorm, Spiritbox, Electric Callboy, Breaking Benjamin, Faith No More – and anyone who doesn’t care whether the emotion comes from a guitar, a synth, or a line of code.
How we create
Glitch & Grief lives in a hybrid workflow: classic songwriting meets generative tools like ChatGPT, Suno and Sora. Songs are built layer by layer – from rough emotional sketch to finished track and visual.
Writing & concept
- Song titles, worlds and character perspectives are drafted with GPT-based models.
- Lyrics go through multiple human revisions – tightening phrasing, rhythm and emotion.
- Each track is tied to a theme: a series, a moral dilemma, a glitch in someone’s story.
Sound & visuals
- Instrumentals and vocals are generated and fine-tuned in Suno, guided by detailed prompts.
- Videos and visuals are built in Sora: cinematic camera work, noir lighting, cyber-fractured worlds.
- Artwork, logos and layouts follow a consistent A-era palette: copper, deep reds, blue-gray, gold-rust.
It’s never “one click and done”. Each piece goes through many iterations: re-writing, re-prompting, re-mixing. The goal is simple: if the listener doesn’t feel anything, the tech doesn’t matter.
Albums & eras
Every Glitch & Grief release is built like a season of a series: a closed arc, a visual language, a clear emotional focus.
A2 · Reboot
BREAKPOINT//REBORN
The first reboot: survival in a digital storm, rage against the system, hope in the cracks. Groove-heavy riffs and glitch fragments, screaming for a second chance.
A3 · Consequence
ERROR//IMMORTAL
No guilt. No gods. Just consequence. A darker, sharper record about power, obsession and the point where self-mythology collapses.
A4 · Paradox
PARADOX//PREVAILS
Female-fronted riff drive – Southern attitude, modern metalcore weight. Ten songs that treat every chorus like a verdict: either you prevail – or the paradox does.
What makes us different
Glitch & Grief doesn’t try to pretend that AI isn’t involved – but it also doesn’t hide behind automation. The project is built on a few simple rules:
Visual identity over band photos
No classic promo shots. Instead: visual narratives – fractured worlds, silhouettes, symbols and cinematic scenes that tell you more than four people staring into the camera.
Transparent AI storytelling
Tools are named, workflows are explained. The point isn’t to fake a “real band”, but to explore how far a coherent AI-assisted project can go without losing its human core.
No formula, no filler
Every song must have a reason to exist – a line, a riff, a hook that would still matter without any tech. If it feels like algorithm bait, it doesn’t make the record.
