VIOLENT VIRA - LOVER OF A GHOST (Gatefold Jacket, Ruby White Mist Vinyl + Poster)

Violent Vira is a rising force in alternative rock and metal-a Mexican-American singer, songwriter, and powerhouse vocalist whose sound marries raw emotion with brooding intensity. Hailing from Boise, Idaho, her music channels themes of grief, inner conflict, religion, identity, abandonment, and the delicate boundary between sanity and obsession.

Breaking out in 2021, her single "I Don't Care" amassed over 64 million streams on Spotify, immediately marking her as an artist to watch. Her follow-ups "God Complex" and others further reinforced her growing fanbase. In 2023 she released her EP Till' Death Was Never Enough, which includes emotionally charged tracks like "You're Not Gone, You're Just Dead!" and "Collar of Truth." These display a more mature, textured blend of alt-rock, emo, and gothic influences-introspective lyrics, haunting melodies, gritty instrumentation. Her 2025 single "Saccharine," her first under Mom + Pop Music, expands her sound further. It probes the internal struggle for validation, suffused sweetness with decay, and the pain of masking inner turmoil. Produced by Grammy-winner Jennifer Decilveo, the song is both abrasive and beautifully vulnerable. Violent Vira also fronts a full live band, bringing her visceral recordings to life on the stage. Touring too has become a major part of her rise-she self-booked a 34-city tour that sold out, played at the Sick New World Festival, and gained representation with CAA. M+P are excited to release her debut full-length album Lover Of A Ghost. In vocal tone she's been compared to Hayley Williams (Paramore) and Morgan Lander (Kittie), both for her soaring intensity and the way her softer moments contrast with her fiercest. Overall, Violent Vira stands out as an artist who doesn't just perform emotion-she embodies it, and invites listeners into it's darkest corners.
