Metal Artist:

1. Bloodwitch

Bloodwitch is not a real band; the music comes from a Netflix series called I Am Not Okay With This, which was released on February 26th, 2020. The show featured the “band,” which was discontinued, but the band was later added to music platforms for enjoyment. The music itself is composed by Graham Coxon, an English guitarist and singer-songwriter. What I like about Bloodwitch is the eerie but soothing feeling of the music.

Bloodwitch has roughly 79k followers and 63k monthly listeners.
