Lexi Layne Unleashes Fierce New Single “The Devil”

With a sound that balances heavy-hitting riffs and haunting melodies, Lexi Layne channels the spirit of iconic acts like Evanescence, In This Moment, and rising stars such as Bad Omens and  Within Temptation, while bringing a powerhouse vocal energy reminiscent of Christina Aguilera and Mariah Carey. The result is a genre-defying, soul-baring experience that hits just as hard emotionally as it does sonically.

Following a string of gripping singles like “The Tower,” “Serpent,” and “The High Priestess,” Lexi now steps fully into her power with The High Priestess Volume 1—a six-track journey through personal healing, spiritual growth, and the divine feminine, rooted in the themes of tarot, trauma, and transformation.

For Los Angeles-based dark-alternative metalcore singer-songwriter Lexi Layne, vulnerability is not only the essence of her music and a means of catharsis—it’s also the driving force behind her path to empowerment. Embodying a heavy-hitting sound reminiscent of iconic musical legends such as Evanescence, In This Moment, and Within Temptation, Lexi Layne’s music comes fully to life through impassioned, evocative vocals that lean more toward powerhouse singers like Christina Aguilera and Mariah Carey than your typical metalcore fare—resulting in a distinct, genre-bending experience.

After a string of well-received singles such as “The Tower,” “The High Priestess,” and “Serpent,” Lexi Layne now offers her most cohesive and all-encompassing collection yet with her forthcoming EP The High Priestess Volume 1—a six-track release of unfiltered, pummeling songs that directly tie into the themes of tarot and witchcraft, further illuminating her deeply personal reflections and ruminations on life and the journey she’s taken thus far.

Take, for example, the EP’s latest single, “The Devil (featuring Chaney Crabb),” which confronts Lexi Layne’s personal trauma surrounding her tumultuous relationship with her father. Through vivid tarot imagery, the song amplifies the emotional weight and lasting impact of that experience. “The song represents a duality,” Lexi Layne shares. “On one hand, it’s about the vulnerability of that little scared girl, and on the other, it’s about coming to terms with my own power and realizing that I am the one in control.” In other words, Lexi Layne transforms her pain into power—offering hope and resilience in a way that feels both tangible and deeply relatable for anyone listening.
