Xstitch

Emerging from the rainy underbelly of Seattle’s underground trap metal scene, Xstitch is brutally fusing metal serrated riffs with heavy 808s, industrial textures, and visceral vocal performances. Stitching together hardcore hip-hop, nu metal, and dark electronic influences, each track serves as a cathartic purge of inner demons, isolation, rage, and resilience. Whether screaming over a barrage of unforgivingly overdriven guitars or dropping venomous bars with surgical precision trap-infused beats, Xstitch demands the scene’s attention while refusing to conform to its status quo. Made for Music wrote “With Seattle’s grey skies looming overhead and fire in his lungs, Xstitch is reshaping the landscape of heavy music. His sound is chaotic yet razor-sharp, cathartic, and untethered to genre norms.” Since emerging on the scene, Xstitch has built a cult with his all-or-nothing approach (he produces, mixes, and masterfully engineers everything himself), ferocious live shows, and collaborations with artists around the world - including Shade Apollo, ghostofblu, and Dekerakt. Psychopomp, his first collaboration with Shade Apollo, skyrocketed him to the top of the underground scene with its unrelenting wall of sound, primal screams, and explosive lyricism. His latest single, Violent Delights, embraces the seduction of our darkest desires - equally suited for fans of Ghostemane, $uicideboy$, Wage War, and the booktok community.
