Poppy arrives at House of Blues Houston on Thursday, August 13, as something she wasn’t when she started: a genuine metalcore artist with a serious album to support. Empty Hands, her seventh studio album, is her most committed heavy statement yet—industrial, aggressive, unapologetic. The Constantly Nowhere tour is North America in a proper circuit, with proper support. This is not a performance artist playing in a metal context anymore. This is a metal band playing a metal tour.
About Poppy
Poppy made her name as a YouTube concept: an android character, deadpan, satirizing internet culture and fan obsession. That was the provocative beginning. What’s happened over seven albums is that the provocation became the work itself. She’s moved from synth-pop confusion to genuine industrial-metalcore—the kind of album that doesn’t apologize for what it is.
Empty Hands, released in January on Sumerian Records and produced by Jordan Fish, is metalcore, alternative metal, nu metal, industrial—every heavy subgenre stacked on top of each other. Poppy’s voice, which used to be conversational, is now an instrument of force.
The Support
Landmvrks and Thousand Below share the bill. Landmvrks is a French metalcore group—not a support act filling time, but a proper touring band. Thousand Below is post-hardcore. This is a lineup that knows what it’s doing.
