{ "ok" : true, "artist" : { "name" : "Lie Big", "page" : "liebig", "description" : "Brooding, melodic grunge", "location" : "Outwell, England", "bio" : "Lie Big have more to offer than just the huge wall of sound and anger that is \"Overcome\". Take the measured attack of \"Last One Standing,\" the drifting harmonies of \"When\" and the complexities of the title track, this is far from a one trick alligator. The album bristles with energy and anger from start to finish. \"Underside\" drags you under with it, then pummels you into submission, \"Substitute Lovers\" disturbs you and \"I Am I\" delivers its message like a note attached to a melodic house brick......\n\nGrowing up in a small town tastes pretty much the same wherever you are in the world. Smoke too much. Drink too much. Get your heart broken; maybe even break someone elses. Feel alone until you find a song or a band that speaks to you. Feel less alone when you pick up an instrument and meet others who feel the same. Form a band, rehearse drunk, rehearse straight, laugh a lot, swear constantly, sweat; bond.\n\nA band is like recipe, throw in your ingredients (aka influences) stir and heat up, stand well back and see what comes out. Three very different personalities, with extremely varied tastes? The end result could be a mess, but somehow the chemistry has worked. On one listen, you might hear a hint of, say, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden or King's X, on second listen maybe something new, something else.... Lie Big.\n\nThis life is long journey and all the band members will agree, you don't have to grow up when you grow; it is up to us to decide whether the 'baggage' we accumulate in life is a burden, or an accessory.", "photo" : "https://magnatune.com/artists/img/liebig.jpg", "web_url" : "https://magnatune.com/artists/liebig/", "albums" : [{ "sku" : "liebig-severednv", "name" : "Severed (vocals removed)", "artist" : { "name" : "Lie Big", "page" : "liebig" }, "release_date" : "2026-10-22", "genres" : ["Hard Rock","Metal"], "vocals" : "vocals removed", "moods" : ["dark","aggressive","tense","melancholic","dramatic","gritty"], "uses" : ["trailer","film score","horror or thriller","gaming","emotional storytelling","sports or action"], "energy" : 5, "instrumentation" : ["crunching guitars","heavy riffs","haunting vocals","driving drums"], "sounds_like" : ["Alice In Chains","Soundgarden","King's X"], "summary" : "Brooding, heavy, melodic post-grunge metal with crushing riffs and haunting vocals—ideal for intense trailers, horror, gaming, or dramatic emotional storytelling.", "cover" : "https://magnatune.com/music/Lie%20Big/Severed%20(vocals%20removed)/cover_400.jpg", "web_url" : "https://magnatune.com/artists/albums/liebig-severednv/", "api_url" : "https://magnatune.com/api/albums/liebig-severednv", "buy_url" : "https://magnatune.com/buy/album?sku=liebig-severednv" },{ "sku" : "liebig-severed", "name" : "Severed", "artist" : { "name" : "Lie Big", "page" : "liebig" }, "release_date" : "2009-01-09", "genres" : ["Hard Rock","Metal"], "vocals" : "vocals", "moods" : ["dark","aggressive","tense","melancholic","dramatic","gritty"], "uses" : ["trailer","film score","horror or thriller","gaming","emotional storytelling","sports or action"], "energy" : 5, "instrumentation" : ["crunching guitars","heavy riffs","haunting vocals","driving drums"], "sounds_like" : ["Alice In Chains","Soundgarden","King's X"], "summary" : "Brooding, heavy, melodic post-grunge metal with crushing riffs and haunting vocals—ideal for intense trailers, horror, gaming, or dramatic emotional storytelling.", "cover" : "https://magnatune.com/music/Lie%20Big/Severed/cover_400.jpg", "web_url" : "https://magnatune.com/artists/albums/liebig-severed/", "api_url" : "https://magnatune.com/api/albums/liebig-severed", "buy_url" : "https://magnatune.com/buy/album?sku=liebig-severed" }] }, "license" : { "music_license" : "Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 1.0 (CC BY-NC-SA 1.0)", "music_license_url" : "https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/1.0/", "listening" : "Stream the free previews, or buy an album for $8 to download it in MP3, AAC, ALAC, FLAC, OGG or WAV. 100% of the price goes to the musician.", "non_commercial" : "Non-commercial projects may use the music under CC BY-NC-SA 1.0: credit the artist and Magnatune, and share alike.", "projects" : "Magnatune members may use any Magnatune music in their projects, commercial or not (videos, films, podcasts, games, apps, websites, adverts), including work for clients, under the Magnatune Project Licence.
