who is purplehearts?!
purplehearts is an electro-industrial, horror rock band founded in 2015 by musician Mario Mitchell.
Originally a solo project, purplehearts quickly evolved with the help of RIAA-Multi Gold Status Producer Kevin W. Gates, who worked with Mario to bring his haunting and emotionally charged vision to life.
Initially, purplehearts began with a strong emphasis on emo influences, with raw, emotional vulnerability and introspection to the music, but over time, purplehearts started to incorporate more electro-industrial and horror rock elements with heavy rap influences into the music.
purplehearts' first hit with the fans, a track titled "Freak Show Society", released October 2016 on "The Dark Carnival EP", garnered attention from fans of both underground and mainstream rock, earning purplehearts a spot on the 2019 Gathering of the Juggalos lineup.
As the purplehearts mythology grew, so did their persona. At the heart of this evolving story is Odin, the enigmatic leader of the Freak Show Society—a twisted, almost theatrical figure that embodies the spirit of chaos, rebellion, and the outsider.
Odin is not only the frontman of the band but also a symbol of the band's larger narrative, guiding the audience through a world of twisted carnival-like performances, and surreal storytelling.
As the leader of the Freak Show Society, Odin represents the misfits and the misunderstood, leading the charge against societal norms and celebrating the weird and the wild.
purplehearts is poised to push boundaries even further, continuing to evolve and cement their place as one of the most innovative and emotionally engaging acts in the underground music world.
THE FREAKS
As a group, as brothers, and as a family, Odin leads his Freaks through the dark shadows that seep deep in the sewers of this shit stained earth to expose the horrors that lie beneath the surface.
