Ray Noir is the rising alt-queer artist blending industrial beats, electro-metal grit, and gothic edge. From Oslo’s black metal underground to London’s alt-goth nightlife, his music is a rallying cry for outsiders and rebels.
His 2024 mixtape Scorpio racked up over 140K Spotify streams, hit the Top 5 on the German Alternative Charts (DAC), and earned praise from top alternative outlets.
"Ray Noir’s Scorpio is a scintillating seven-track journey from sleazy street corners to shady superstardom." – ★★★★ Kerrang!
"Ray Noir drops banging goth-metal single, Pity Party." – Kerrang!
"Track of the Week" – BBC Radio 1 Future Alternative (on You, Me & The Devil)
Live, Ray Noir delivers high-impact performances, fusing theatrical visuals, bold fashion, and raw, cathartic energy.
2025 is already off to a fierce start, with Ray collaborating with Grammy-winning guitarist Steve Stevens (Billy Idol, Top Gun Anthem) on the single Razorblade Romance. The track dropped on Valentine’s Day, launching a UK tour that included opening this year’s Resistanz Festival in Sheffield.
Following up, Ray released a brooding industrial cover of Tears for Fears’ “Shout” , with more on the horizon:
Supporting Die Krupps in London this autumn
A headline show in Oslo—his second time topping the bill in his hometown
And a brand-new EP set for release in September 2025
With each release and performance, Ray Noir continues to push sonic and cultural boundaries—championing queer visibility in the alternative scene and carving out a space that’s all his own.
