As well as racking up more than 9,500,000 views on YouTube since January, vocalist MAPHRA’s cover of Doomed has landed in the charts…
MAPHRA’s viral Bring Me The Horizon cover is now at the top of Billboard’s Hot Hard Rock Songs chart.
Sitting at over 9,500,000 views on YouTube since uploading it at the end of January, the rising online star’s rendition of Doomed has made it to Number One in this week’s Hot Hard Rock Songs, ahead of Motionless In White’s Afraid Of The Dark, Bilmuri and A Day To Remember’s collab ALWAYS LET YOU DOWN, Caramel by Sleep Token, and Bad Omens’ Dying To Love.
Upon the track’s release, MAPHRA reflected that, “I’ve always found myself to be a very quiet person. I feel that I’m finally opening up to the world around me and embracing who I am by sharing my voice. It’s not because you’re hearing me sing, it’s that you’re connecting with me and feeling the emotion that I put into each and every lyric. I’ve struggled with depression and my sense of purpose for so long. I can gladly say that I will be dedicating my life to my music career full time and I will never stop.
“My team and I are working hard to develop original music that hopefully you will all connect to and feel just as deeply as we do. Again, thank you all for the love and support, and for making my childhood dreams come true!”
