Lucrecia & Oathbound at Substation Seattle Substation presents: Lucrecia: Lucrecia is a kawaiicore/metalcore band that draws inspiration from otaku culture down to its very name Lucrecia (a mysterious character from the game FFVII). The band was formed in 2016 by co-vocalists, Suki and Frankie, who met at a gig and decided to start a band together. Suki dreamt of being one of the first well known idols from the West of the kawaiicore/kawaiimetal genre (a genre that combines cute vocals with heavy music, similar to Babymetal). Since then, Suki has made great strides, becoming well known by many as Suki the kawaiicore idol, breaking barriers in the metal scene with her sweet yet fierce personality. Writing songs that blend catchy yet heavy musical elements coupled with otaku and idol culture, Lucrecia creates a unique and captivating sound that's all their own. Their song "Brotherhood" was their first breakthrough track, after being featured on the popular YouTube channel 'Dreambound'. The song instantly gained them many fans who appreciated the song for its originality and memorable hooks. Their viral hit "Sleeping Slaves Of Fate" (inspired by Jojo's Bizarre Adventure) went on to be their next success, and most successful song to date with over a million streams and counting. The video for the song showcased their idol inspired style and unapologetic love for anime, while also proving that their music can stand out in the very saturated metalcore genre. Oathbound: Hailing from the rain-soaked streets of the Pacific Northwest, Oathbound channels the raw, unfiltered emotion that defines the human condition. Heartbreak, loss, addiction, trauma—no subject is off-limits. With soaring anthemic synths layered over intricate metalcore riffs, Oathbound crafts soundscapes that are as emotionally resonant as they are sonically powerful. Their message is clear: even in life’s darkest moments, there’s a silver lining—and a life still worth living. Oathbound maintains a strong connection with fans through high-quality content, compelling visuals, and transparent storytelling on social media. For Oathbound, this is only the beginning. With eyes set on nationwide touring and continued creative evolution, their mission remains the same: to offer catharsis, hope, and connection through music that speaks from—and to—the soul. with support from Ocean Ghost What's Wrong Doors @ 6:00pm.
