Serpent
Aggressive, melodic post-hardcore delivered with Catalan grit. Raw energy for basement shows and high-stakes emotional release.

Serpent is a post-hardcore quartet hailing from Barcelona, Spain, formed in 2016. They represent a vital branch of the contemporary Catalan underground scene, blending the ferocity of 80s hardcore with the complex structures of 90s post-hardcore and noise rock.
Their sound identity is defined by interlocking, angular guitar work and a rhythm section that favors driving, almost motorik energy over traditional punk simplicity. Lyrically, the band utilizes Catalan to explore themes of social malaise, existential dread, and personal resilience, positioning them as a modern voice of dissent. Critically, they are noted for their ability to maintain a 'raw' aesthetic while demonstrating high levels of technical interplay. They occupy a similar cultural space to bands on the Dischord or Touch and Go rosters, but with a Mediterranean grit that is entirely their own. Their evolution from 'Lluna roja' to 'Durícies a l'ànima' shows a move toward denser arrangements and more nuanced emotional dynamics without sacrificing their foundational intensity.
