Bad Marilyn
BAD MARILYN bring live energy instead of stream stats.
With over 250,000 Spotify streams in just over a year, Bad Marilyn have already made a strong first impression. But what truly defines this Swiss quintet is their relentless stage energy. Since 2023, they’ve proven they are far more than a streaming phenomenon: a debut album produced by Helloween’s Dennis Ward, a first tour with eight shows, and festival appearances at Metal Storm over Lucerne, Rock and Ride, and the Brienzersee Rockfestival all speak for themselves. In 2025, they also reached the semifinals of the Wacken Metal Battle Switzerland.
Musically, anthemic power metal meets brutal death elements, fronted by a charismatic voice that shifts effortlessly between soaring melodies and deep growls. With powerful riffs, dynamic songwriting and a clear artistic signature, Bad Marilyn deliver a compelling live experience. By the second song, even the back rows are moving. Festival reviews have praised frontwoman Andrea Raffaela as a “true asset to the band” (Metalinside.ch), highlighting her vocal diversity and commanding stage presence.
Despite early slots and challenging set times, the band never holds back: circle pits at noon, champagne CD baptisms, and a striking backdrop featuring an undead Marilyn ensure they stand out and connect with the crowd. This show isn’t staged – it’s pure energy. Fans say: “Your show was just amazing!”, “Way too good for the opener slot!” and “You bring so much power – not many Swiss bands can keep up.»
Promoters echo the sentiment: “Giving you the headliner slot was absolutely the right choice – the crowd loved it!” and “You’re easy to work with, deliver on stage, and care about the crew as much as the fans.«
2026 marks the next step: The band will enter the studio to record their second album, while looking ahead to new festival stages. Book Bad Marilyn and get a band that delivers – with heart, power, and a live show to remember. Ideal for slots that demand crowd movement and pure energy.
