Metal is gradually changing, and Scene Queen, whose real name is Hannah Collins, is at the forefront of this revolution. “That’s exactly how I play with metal,” says the singer. “I pretend I don’t know what genres are, even though I know very well, of course.”
She has only one full-length album to her name so far, Hot Singles In Your Area (2024), but it is the successful culmination of years of work building a huge and loyal community. The album provides a clear answer to the question: What happens when you mix metal with ultra-catchy pop choruses and a healthy dose of fury?
When she is accompanied on the album by WARGASM on the song “Girls Gone Wild” or 6arelyhuman on the single “Stuck,” it is further proof of her versatility. Scene Queen takes listeners on an untamed ride full of freedom, self-love, queer pride, and fierce humor.
