For years, the Gen-Z pop star has been dressing like a scene kid and releasing dark, brooding music. Billie Eilish was even hanging side-stage during Knocked Loose’s rowdy set at this year’s Coachella festival.
However, up until now, Eilish never confirmed if she was a fan of hardcore music. Last night on Aug. 2, Eilish posted a video of her driving on her Instagram story with It Dies Today’s 2004 metalcore banger “A Threnody for Modern Romance” as the clip’s background music.

The track, a staple of the mid-2000s metalcore boom, was included on the influential Buffalo band’s 2004 debut, The Caitiff Choir, released by metalcore powerhouse Trustkill Records.
It Dies Today are not your average entry-level metalcore band. Assumedly, one is exposed to groups like Killswitch Engage, As I Lay Dying, Underoath, etc. before finding their way to It Dies Today. This leads us to believe that Eilish might know more about breakdowns and screams than we had expected.
Either way, the fact that she blasted “A Threnody for Modern Romance” to her 109 million Instagram followers is a win for the metal community.
