BAD MARILYN – a power metal band to remember!

It’s incredible what Bad Marilyn, a band from the canton of Bern, has achieved in just one year. With power metal infused with death metal elements and the impressive vocals of Andrea Raffaela, they not only ignite the crowd by the second song but have also made a name for themselves in metal blogs at home and abroad.

Their rapid rise is no coincidence. Just months after the release of their debut album, they surpassed 250,000 Spotify streams, secured a spot at the Brienzersee Rock Festival 2025, and qualified for the semifinals of the Wacken Metal Battle.

«They powerfully push the boundaries of what’s possible,» wrote the Blattturbo blog about them recently. And no wonder—just look at the band’s lineup: Andrea Raffaela was previously with Infinitas, while the other members have played in established scene bands like Godiva, Gods of Silence, and Sinverse.

So is it really surprising that Dennis Ward (Pink Cream 69, Helloween, Gotthard, Krokus) took on the production of their debut album «Eye of the Snake» (2024)?

Now, Bad Marilyn is unleashing the album’s title track, a song that truly delivers: anthemic choruses, driving riffs, and an intensity that captivates—like the hypnotic gaze of a snake that won’t let go.

Listen now—or let the snake devour you!

Good Vibes only….

Bad Marilyn opens a world of possibilities. Let your head bang, enjoy the powerful energy and forget the rest of the world for an evening. You and the music, you and the power of the 5 musicians on stage. Do what makes you feel good and live your ambition for awesome metal music together with other fans singing along. Bad Marilyn delivers magically energetic songs and a show that gets under your skin.
