Raised by Owls

**Raised by Owls** is a UK-based grindcore band known for their absurdist humor and over-the-top satirical takes on extreme metal. Blending blistering grind riffs with laugh-out-loud lyrical themes, they’ve carved out a niche with tracks like *I’m Sorry I Wore a Dying Fetus T-Shirt to Your Baby’s Gender Reveal Party* and *The Great British Grind Off*—songs that parody everything from metal subculture to reality TV tropes. Their releases, including *Vol.3: (The Satirical Verses)* and *The Santanist*, revel in poking fun at religion, pop culture, and the self-seriousness of the metal scene itself.

Imagine Napalm Death meets *Monty Python*: Raised by Owls delivers hyper-speed blast beats and guttural vocals while cracking jokes about Fred Durst’s existential dread (*The Dark And Twisted Realm In Which Fred Durst Resides*) or fictional grindcore cook-offs. Their music is as chaotic as their song titles suggest, offering a chaotic yet refreshingly goofy twist on a genre often steeped in darkness. Just don’t take them too seriously—they definitely don’t.
