Los Angeles-based snuff-pop duo Patriarchy unleash Appendices, a chaotic EP that captures the pulsating energy of their live shows. Led by vocalist and filmmaker Actually Huizenga alongside “The Drummer,” the duo blend electro-industrial, metal, dance-punk and fractured pop into a hypnotic and unsettling soundscape.
‘Servile’ serves as the EP’s focus track and a crowd favourite at live shows. Actually Huizenga shares that the track is about “the terrifying intimacy of surrender. Surrender to a lover, to society, to religion, to addiction, or any force that makes self-erasure feel like devotion. In the song, I speak from inside of a body being reshaped by control: cutting off the parts that won’t obey, trading fear for submission, and finding the power in becoming someone else’s weapon.”
‘Servile’ also features banshee backing vocals from Norwegian black-metal band Witch Club Satan, who Patriarchy invited to provide screams on the choruses while they toured the US this summer.
On Appendices, each track stands out on its own, while together they harness Patriarchy’s off-kilter darkness.
Upcoming live date:
08.28.26 – Istanbul, Turkey – Roxy Club Istanbul
