Makes My Blood Dance Set Fire to the Road with Disco-Metal Mayhem

There’s a storm gathering across America’s underbelly this spring — and it smells like sweat, strobe lights, and bass drops. Makes My Blood Dance (MMBD), Brooklyn’s rogue disciples of disco-metal, are mid-rampage on their 2025 tour, and they’re not just turning heads — they’re melting them clean off.

Fresh from a volatile West Coast stretch with Powerman 5000 and Julien-K, MMBD is now colliding with Southern grit and Midwestern metal on a 16-city sprint alongside Texas Hippie Coalition. This is not your average co-bill — it’s a culture clash that somehow clicks: THC’s red-dirt riffs pounding the earth, MMBD’s electro-thrash exploding above it like fireworks shot from a haunted rave. It shouldn’t work. But it does. And it’s glorious.

Where some bands rely on nostalgia or technical chops to carry a set, MMBD’s secret weapon is chaos — controlled, curated, and electrifying. At their core is a mission to convert every venue into a cathedral of catharsis. Songs like their latest single, “Time and a Place,” are more than sonic assaults; they’re experiences built to hit your bloodstream. Frontman EV0 commands the stage like a dystopian preacher — equal parts Ziggy Stardust and cyberpunk warlord — while Jon Kristian’s production keeps the floor shaking with industrial-sized grooves and neon fury.

This isn’t just a musical evolution; it’s a full-blown transformation of what heavy music can be. The recent Berlin Music Video Awards nod for “Heavy Metal Armour” — a visual acid trip of latex, lasers, and apocalypse couture — proves that MMBD isn’t just ahead of the curve; they’re sprinting away from it.

And maybe that’s the point. While others in the metal world are still obsessed with what “real” rock is, MMBD is out here redefining it in real time — sequins, smoke machines, and all.
