I’m a sexual assault survivor and the feelings are bubbling back up a lot. Recommendations for angry music about sexual assault? Doesn’t have to be by females but that would be nice. I like metal, punk, and alt a lot but all suggestions are welcome.
First off I'm so sorry to hear what happened to you & I wish you hope & healing for the shit you've had to go through & still are going through.
As for a few songs:
[Korn - Daddy] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQZodBV39F4) - Jonathan Davis was SA'd by his babysitter as a kid & his parents never believed him. The ending of the song is him breaking down & eventually his bandmates hugging him as they had no idea but just wanted to be there for their friend who was hurt.
[Petrol Girls - Touch Me Again] (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8TZsBGgoMc) - Name speaks for itself. Some raucous punk about the topic
Broken by Sleater-Kinney isn’t traditionally angry but it’s a very powerful song imo.
Larkin Grimm - I Don't Believe You
Anything from the album Within the Veil by Fear of God. In particular the track Betrayed
The band Venom Prison has a lot of songs relevant to your request. My favorite is Perpetrator Emasculation.
someone up vote me pls!! oh man theres this chick on tik tok that does trap metal and its feminist and perfect for this.....but i cannot remember her name....and i cant use my phone while im at work to find it. someone up vote me pls so that i can come back and put her info here. im sorry for what youve gone through, im a sa survivor as well
Face down by the red jumpsuit apparatus. Great alt rock song, catchy, upbeat, but touches on a very important subject matter obviously. The lyrics are pretty transparent about it, more about an abusive relationship than assault but i guess it could apply to assault too.
Sorry to hear what you went through. Hope you’re doing better op. I hope things get better :)
So sorry for what you’ve been through.
Terror Starts at Home by Beneath the Sky
Not rlly angry but a couple songs by a band called Crawlers

I hope they are ok (ik they helped me a bit but everyone is different)
Fuck yeah this song.
Sorry to hear you are having to deal with the bubbling. Silent All These Years by Tori Amos hits the right spot and the first time I heard it was on a B side with the heart wrenching cover of Smells Like Teen Spirit, not long after Kurt passed.
Hope you’ve got someone to talk through where you’re at now. Say strong survivor.

Alice Glass formerly Crystal Castles perhaps ?
May your abuser’s memory and name be erased from all time.

The song Presure Point by the Post Hardcore band, Heartist, is perfect. Male singer though, but angry, powerful, and clearly about someone who was sexually assaulted. That's the only song I can think of at the moment
