Anna Pest @annapest.bsky.social · 08/05/2026Thinking about how when we dropped “Catgirl in the House of Evil” back in 2023, I was truly on my most toxic arc. Those three songs are just: 1. Angry song I wrote about my ex 2. “I fuck a lot and don’t give a fuck what you think” 3. “I have a gun!!” Shit rules man 020

Anna Pest @annapest.bsky.social · 14/11/2025This new record contains the best-written lyrics and best-written/sounding music that I have ever composed, and it's not particularly close 030

Anna Pest @annapest.bsky.social · 23/09/2025Happy 2-year anniversary to “Catgirl in the House of Evil (…and Other Stories)”! This was a very special record for us. Our first split, our first record to feature Colin and April, and in my humble opinion, our most airtight release. Just three songs and they all fucking rip. 161
Anna Pest @annapest.bsky.social · 16/09/2025RIP Tomas Lindberg. A kind and humble man, one of the vocalists who’s inspired me the most, and the voice of some of my most beloved metal albums of all time, without whose influence the type of music I make wouldn’t even exist. We lost a legend today. Spinning his music in celebration of his life 🖤 020

Anna Pest @annapest.bsky.social · 15/04/2025Quickly realizing that I am utterly incapable of writing bad music when I'm writing about a bad bitch that I'm still hung up on 030
Anna Pest @annapest.bsky.social · 14/04/2025“You and Me at the End of the Fucking World” is our best album overall and has our best songs. Our side of “Catgirl in the House of Evil” is our most watertight release. Just three extremely fun and heavy songs, no filler. “Dark Arms Reach Skyward…” is imperfect, but endearing and oddly timeless. 051
Anna Pest @annapest.bsky.social · 07/04/2025God I love using uncleared samples (For legality reasons, this is a joke) 040
Anna Pest @annapest.bsky.social · 03/04/2025It feels strange to say it, but my biggest inspiration for this new batch of tunes I’m writing is my own music. Reflecting on what I’ve done, what I know I do well, and how I can do it better. I’ll always continue to experiment, but these songs aren’t “experimental”; they’re deeply intentional. 030
