Ray Noir is the disruptive queer artist kicking the alt-scene in the teeth, fusing metal aggression, electronic club energy and unapologetic queer chaos into what he calls cvnty queer rave-metal. Born in Oslo's black-metal underground and sharpened in London's clubland, Ray delivers heavy beats, razor-sharp guitars and larger-than-life theatrics for outsiders, misfits and anyone who refuses to fit the mould.
Breaking through with his 2024 mixtape Scorpio (Top 5 German Alternative Charts), Ray earned praise from Kerrang! and BBC Radio 1, followed by the 2025 EP Against The Machine featuring guitar legend Steve Stevens. Now entering his boldest era yet, Ray is preparing to unleash his upcoming EP Gothstar, produced alongside Jon Cass of As Everything Unfolds. The project sees Ray fully embracing his signature blend of rave euphoria, metal aggression and queer excess, with singles Label Whxre and Black already released and two further singles set to follow in summer 2026.
Live, Ray Noir is less a gig and more a confrontation, a collision of theatre, fashion and ferocity. With sold-out headline shows in London and Oslo, multiple UK tours, and international performances including Tokyo, Flow Festival and Resistanz Festival, alongside support slots for Combichrist, Die Krupps and many others, Ray isn’t asking for space in alternative music, he’s taking it.

Ray Noir is the rising queer artist fusing the aggression of metal with the pulse of electronic music. Born from Oslo’s black-metal underground and sharpened in London’s clubland, Ray’s sound channels raw emotion through heavy beats, guitars and bold, unapologetic energy. His music is a rallying cry for outsiders and rebels alike.
Ray gained attention with his 2024 mixtape Scorpio - which reached the Top 5 on the German Alternative Charts (DAC) and received acclaim from Kerrang! and BBC Radio 1 - followed by the 2025 EP Against The Machine, featuring Grammy-winning guitarist Steve Stevens (Billy Idol, Michael Jackson, Top Gun Anthem) on the single Razorblade Romance.
★★★★ “A scintillating seven-track journey from sleazy street corners to shady superstardom.” – Kerrang!
“Track of the Week” – BBC Radio 1 Future Alternative
On stage, Ray Noir delivers an electrifying mix of theatre, fashion and ferocity - a full-bodied performance that blurs the line between concert and spectacle. With sold-out headline shows in London and Oslo, UK tours and support slots for Combichrist and Die Krupps, Ray is carving his place as one of the most distinctive new voices in alternative music.
