I can't reproduce the issue.
This seems to be a Cloudflare like message from the website blocking you due to some IP/browser combination.

Are you using any sort of VPN/proxy? Whic version of Mullvad Browser are you using and which OS?

Is it also the case if you use a fresh install of Mullvad Browser?
If it was without the VPN, can you try after connecting with the VPN?

I tried to create an account and got blocked as well.
It seems Soundcloud is fingerprinting the browser and blocking it.

I have found that they do block Tor Browser, which Mullvad Browser is based on. And they say the following in their technical requirements:

Please note that debugging issues with Tor is out of scope for support staff.

Not much we can do now unfortunately.

I have submitted feedback to Soundcloud when trying to register, but I honestly have very little hope of getting any feedback.

thanks for your help so far other than that switching from chrome to mullvad browser has been great, and also for some reason youtube doesnt play nice and randomly gets stuck on buffering videos and the site is generally slow on mullvad browser.

One way to test if RFP is the cuplrit is to use MB Alpha, disable RFP and test - of course it would help if the IP wasn't flagged as that creates noise (lols, soundcloud, noise)

If it can be determined that it's something in RFP, then we can narrow that down in FF by using FPP and RFPTargets

something for rui to do :)
