Tear vein taste blame
Mouth, eyes, fear, lies
Cloaked in stroboscopic menace and pheromonal sweat, Los Angeles underground music agitator heavenly flower, sinks her teeth into the world with her debut single, “BITE, a track that welds industrial‑club percussion to noise‑rap ferocity, greeting listeners like a flash‑bang on a darkened dance floor.
Engineered for “the horny, the ultra‑pissed, and the unrepentant,” BITE rips itself open, unfurling rapid-fire, hip-hop verses delivered sleekly and coldly detached. But just as listeners acclimate to this icy rhythmic precision, heavenly flower pivots without warning into hardcore punk snarls. Snapping sharp-edged commands through her feral growls, Lan’caster sinks her teeth deep here— And the track doesn’t just bite; it slaps, sure to leave a bruise the next morning. Fans of Machine Girl, Ho99o9, and LustSickPuppy will recognise the digital‑hardcore bloodline, as will fans of Sextile’s current club-driven incarnation, yet Heavenly Flower laces the chaos with a sly swagger all her own.
Early adopters are already howling BITE’s praises. Los Angeles underground culture tastemakers Weirdo Music Forever added the track to their coveted WMF Faves playlist shortly after its release. Meanwhile, local promoters teased a first live onslaught for Sunday, August 25, 2025, at an as‑yet‑secret L.A. location—signalling that the pit is imminent.
Lyrically, Lan’caster weaponises bodily imagery—“Bleed out when I need to run / Tongue out when I need to f***”—turning intimacy into artillery, and leaving behind a vampiric bloodbath straight out of Ryan Coogler’s Sinners.
Watch the visualiser for “BITE” below:
Heavenly Flower is the latest incarnation of multidisciplinary firebrand Le’lani Lan’caster—formerly the throat‑shredding frontwoman of hardcore bruisers Fucked Forever, whose confrontational 2018 self-titled EP spat fury with blistering tracks like “Firewalker” and “Shit Puke Violence.” Before that came the lo-fi psych-punk surrealism of Washing Machines, where her mandolin wove delicate intricacies against abrasive distortion, and Pek Pek, whose fuzzy garage noise-pop laid the groundwork for Lan’caster’s fearless experimentation. Lan’caster is also half of the electronic avant-garde hip-hop duo YOUR ORC MOTHER, alongside collaborator Justin Hill, a project that pushes rhythmic boundaries and lyrical provocation with equal force. Now, synthesizing these threads, Heavenly Flower unleashes “BITE”—a ferociously compelling manifesto shaped by rage, sensuality, and razor-edged confrontation. Lan’caster’s discography may writhe and shift genres, but her artistic vision remains resolutely consistent: visceral, unyielding, and thrillingly unpredictable.
With more singles and an EP teased for later this year, consider “BITE” the first puncture wound of many.
