GB · active
BVDLVD (pronounced 'Badlad') is a UK solo artist who emerged from the British trap metal scene, self-producing and self-directing all of his material. Signing to MOVES Recordings in 2019, he released Lunatic (2020), a record blending industrial metal, drill, grime, drum and bass, and punk into a distinctly abrasive hybrid. His 2026 album PRESENCE continues his trajectory as one of the more uncompromising figures in the genre.
