Songs for your nonhuman playlist

(that aren't the same 5 artists you see everywhere)

A lot of therian playlists have the same vibe (fish in a birdcage, running with the wolves, dirty paws and life is strange adjacent music) and while I don't necessarily mind, I usually listen to heavier music. plus some of them have been tiktokified and that's a quick way to make me sick of something.

Fortunately, you can find music that either explores animality directly or uses it as a metaphor that feels all too real when you're nonhuman. My favorite example of this is metal, which offers a lot of stuff because for some reason there is a significant interest in exploring a more animalistic side. This is great if you're actually a therian/nonhuman because you can read it straight without caring about the details or whether it's played straight or not.

so, if you want a different sound for your nonhuman playlist...

here's some palate cleansers

Lycanthropy by Patrick Wolf. I heavily recommend checking out the album as a whole

Therianthropy by Septicflesh. Despite the name, I'm not sure if this song is about the modern concept of therianthropy, or if it's related to the earlier, historical meaning of the term, which brings to mind totem animals or animal spirits that serve as protectors. The band is too niche for me to figure that out. Either way, I would describe this as "wolf metal"

Lycanthrope (Howling at the Moon) by Bloodsucking Zombies from outer space

Suden Uni by Moonsorrow. Concept album about turning into a wolf. I love this specific sound to death.

Before I Forget by Slipknot. The nonhuman interpretation of this song is the only valid interpretation, and it's the exact kind of melodic yell/singing that I absolutely love.

Animal I Have Become by Three Days Grace. Yeah, that's right, I am going to listen to the same stuff I was into when I was younger.

You Are The Wilderness by Voxhaul Broadcast. This is a personal favorite of mine as a long-time fan of The Walking Dead and because I'm wolfhearted and a zombie. So not everyone's gonna be into it.

Animal by Miike Snow. This one is pop, but it's really good. I can't read the meaning as anything other than being nonhuman. I recommend the album as further listening too. It's enough that the band did some interesting stuff. You might vaguely remember Genghis Khan from these guys from the early 2010s. Sweet, sweet nostalgia.

Horseshoe Crab by Slothrust. I'm honestly surprised by how nonhuman this song is. I genuinely can't think of what this would be a metaphor for. This is literally about being a horseshoe crab, and experiencing shifts.

CROWS, CROWS, CROWS!!!!!
