Hollywood Nightmare is a 6 piece fully independent young Metalcore band based out Los Angeles, California. The sound of the band incorporates elements of early Linkin Park's Nu-Metal electronic concept mixes with the bouncy grooves and screams like Slipknot.
The band was founded by front man Marcus Menace and lead guitarist Scott Mik in October, 2016 at Musicians Institute, two friends had been writing music together since then, they have the same vision of building a influential heavy metal band and maintain the spirit of the angry kids from 2000s. In the beginning of 2017, the band teamed up with EDM/Dub-Step artist Rafal Maciejski as their sample designer and keyboard player, and this bring the band's music to a new level. In February 2018, with the joining of bass player/vocal Kyle Davies, drummer Luke Couse and rhythm guitarist Logan Alger, the whole band officially came together.
