Las Vegas nu-metalcore baddies The Pretty Wild just released details on their debut album, zero.point.genesis, along with its first single, "Paradox." Led by sisters Jyl & Jules Wylde, The Pretty Wild - not to be confused with article-less Swedish sleaze-rockers Pretty Wild - have been making waves with tracks like "bLAcK oPs (m@n!a)" and the viral sensation "sLeepwALKeR." They recently wrapped a tour in support of In This Moment.
Fans first heard snippets of "Paradox" when Jyl posted her #crashoutcore verse on TikTok last summer. Touted on Instagram as "a nü baddie-core anthem for feral girl fall," "Paradox" hits the ground running with hair-raising dual vocals, bittersweet choruses and spitfire raps over slamming guitars.
Jyl says about the record:
“zero.point.genesis is an album of collapse and resurrection, mythic, yet memeable in its rawness. For me, it’s about battling and ultimately healing the fake ego structures forged in trauma that kept me small, erasing my feminine gifts to fall in line. It’s crawling through the haunted shadow void society is too afraid to face, and emerging closer to my core essence through reclamation of those feminine gifts.”
Jules adds:
“This record is layered with multiple dimensions of interpretation; the more you listen, the further you traverse through them with us. We pushed into concepts that once felt untouchable to us, we set external input aside, and wrote them anyway. It’s an album of poetic contrasts, brutally heavy moments, with haunting instrumentation and flayed open lyrics. Woven throughout are nods to our personal interests, theatrical elements, classical composition, and moments of rage and playfulness.”
zero.point.genesis is out November 21th via Sumerian Records, and the track listing is as follows:
