Drexl Bowie

Drexl Bowie is a Metal artist based in Northeast Missouri, having played guitar for Rock band Secular Era for the last decade. In addition to that role, he’s begun to write and perform his own work, diving into subjects such as war, death, vice, and more. 

His latest release, “Overdose” was written when Bowie was sixteen and suicidal. It’s about the horrors of addiction and the helplessness one feels when under its control. 

His style can be described as a mixture of Metal, Nu Metal, Emo, Post-hardcore, and Punk Rock, blending clean vocals with painful screams and hard hitting guitars. Influences stem from music as well as art, literature, and philosophy. Musical inspirations include My Chemical Romance, Green Day, David Bowie, Marilyn Manson, and Slipknot. Other influences include philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, director Stanley Kubrick, and writer Cormac McCarthy, serving as bases for themes, symbols, and subject matter.
