Perth-based metal-pop artist RinRin has released a trail of breadcrumb singles in 2024, ending the year with her latest hit Chainsaw Girl. Containing a work ethic that’s as vigorous as her ambitiously pessimistic lyrics, the nightcore-reminiscent singer has already also announced planed for the release of a new EP The Nut House in early 2025. 

RinRin’s latest single Chainsaw Girl, came out late this week, blending pop-punk and metal produced by Chris Lalic (Windwaker) with anime-inspired graphics. Inspired by influences like BABYMETAL, Poppy, and Bring Me The Horizon, the track dives into a dystopian narrative, exploring themes of revenge and resilience in a post-apocalyptic world.

The Nut House EP, which will be arriving on January 31st, features previous singles FCKNRUN, im sad lol, and PRN, forming a coherent concept project around her aggressively intense rant-style of singing. According to the singer, each track on the upcoming EP reflects a variant of RinRin navigating alternate lives shaped by her real-world emotions. Chainsaw Girl falls into this narrative by highlighting destructive coping mechanisms and the consequences of vengeance (“we’ll be taking an eye for an eye until we’re blinded”).

The EP release will be taken on the road in January, as RinRin provides support for Aussie metal band Future Static through their Liminality national tour. Tickets are available via Destroy All Lines’ website.

With two consecutive WAM Song of the Year awards for last year’s Guns and Grenades, and breakout Miss Miserable released in March this year, RinRin continues to pave her way through a relatively niche sub-scene in Australian metal.
