At least 30 notable metalcore and deathcore bands – including While She Sleeps, Bury Tomorrow, Fit For An Autopsy, Thy Art Is Murder and Currents – have had fake songs published on their Spotify accounts.
The false uploads were spotted by X (formerly Twitter) users earlier this week and have affected dozens of artists. All the tracks appear with similarly styled black-and-white artwork, which seems to be AI-generated. One of the bands affected, German metalcore act Caliban, publicly commented on their profile falling victim to the unauthorised upload and claimed that the music is also AI-generated.
