Tulip

Based in Texas, Tulip brings together singer Ashleigh Semkiw, guitarist Colin Parrish and drummer Brandon White around a contemporary-approach symphonic metal, informed by groove metal and highly atmospheric songwriting. The trio gained notice with tracks constructed like narrative sequences, where orchestral arrangements, heavy riffs and shifts in tension take center stage. In Tulip, Ashleigh Semkiw's voice alternates between clear passages and harsher attacks, giving the band a balance between melodic expansiveness and frontal impact. Their aesthetic develops a dark, cinematic side while staying within the framework of a tight metal band, driven by the interplay of guitar, drums and vocals. Tulip's themes range from introspection to stories tied to the paranormal, with a conceptual dimension present across several releases. On stage, Tulip continues this formula with a dense, modern sound that links them to the current American metal scene.
