The Utah music community is liking the sweet “soft ass metal” taste of newly-formed band Doomcupcake at their enigmatic live shows, gripping crowds all over Northern Utah. A special treat was handed to fans today on Friday the 13th—the official music video for “Patient 25”— a track off their anticipated first album “The Grippy Socks Hotel” to be released on October 30. The single “Blood, Bath & Beyond,” currently streaming since its 2022 release, will be on the new album along with six other new recordings.
The four-piece 90s alternative revival formed by multi-instrumentalist Zaza Historia VanDyke (lead vocalist and composer) also includes Cashel Barnett (drums/percussion), Frederick Thorne- (bass/decorum), and “Dave” Crespo (master of tones/guitar). All the band members are from the Salt Lake City-Ogden area.

The video features a mirror and a lone dancer (Brina Serassio) moving slowly in red and black lighting, embodying the band’s haunting headbanger.
“Doomcupcake packs the heavy riffs you loved if you went to high school in the early 2000s with the poppy ‘ear-worm’ melodies that haunt the radio, and lyrics that express the oppression, mental health struggles, and fearlessness that their singer walks with everyday,” says Doomcupcake. “If you can’t find something within Zaza’s lyrics that you identify with you can at least head bang along, because Doomcupcake hits HARD.”
