TETRARCH return with first single in three years

With tireless perseverance and distinct musical and production talent, the unrelenting ascent of top-charting modern nu-metal stars TETRARCH has been palpable in the scene since the release of their first album, 2017’s Freak, followed by their Napalm Records label debut, the highly-acclaimed Unstable, in 2021. Now, after three years of intensely focused growth, the band are thrilled to release their first taste of brand new music – launching their next unmissable era.

Today, following yesterday’s world premiere on SiriusXM Liquid Metal with Jose “Metal Ambassador” ManginTETRARCH‘s gripping new 90s industrial-injected anthem ‘Live Not Fantasize’ has fully impacted earth. Pummeling guitars and drums blend with intense electronic flourishes, as guitar icon for the new era Diamond Rowe deftly accents the eerie vocals of Josh Fore with quick riffage and a dynamic, spine-tingling guitar solo.

Partnered with a high-quality, energetic, story-driven music video, the track – co-produced by renowned producer Dave OteroDiamond Rowe and Josh Fore – provides an intense preview for what’s to come for TETRARCH in the new year.

Guitarist Diamond Rowe comments about the track and video: “We are extremely excited to release ‘Live Not Fantasize’ to the world. We had a lot of fun writing this song because of how heavy and aggressive it is, while still having a big catchy chorus that gets stuck in your head. This song is about never letting the negative feelings and thoughts in your mind define who you are and doing everything you can to get through tough times to find peace within yourself – so that you can live instead of dreaming of something better.”

Fierce individuality and a fearless embrace of the outsider are at the heart of TETRARCH. Combining energetic modern musical aggression and lyrical honesty while organically and proudly honouring nu-metal’s foundations, the band leads the charge of the genre’s new wave – appealing to fans both in and outside of the metal scene, and enthusiastically providing newcomers a gateway into heavy music.
 
The band’s tireless hard work and relentless determination has established them as one of the top newer bands in heavy music, catching the attention of major media including PollstarBillboardRevolverAlternative PressGuitar WorldGuitar Player, Premier GuitarKerrang! and Metal Hammer, many in which lead guitarist Diamond Rowe was the first African American female lead guitarist from the heavy metal genre to be featured. Featured on Spotify playlists such as Kickass Metal, Rock HardNew Blood and New Metal Tracks, the band has also seen stellar support from Apple Music and their users, appearing on several additional playlists.
 
TETRARCH’s most recent album, Unstable, received massive critical acclaim. Upon release, Unstable‘s debut single, ‘I’m Not Right’, cracked the Mediabase Active Rock Top 30 and has garnered over 13 million combined cross-platform streams to date. Follow up single ‘You Never Listen’ received support from SiriusXMHardDriveFull Metal Jackie and many more of the country’s leading active rock outlets.

At the tender age of 10, he was dutifully pumping 10ps into the Jukebox to listen to AC/DC’s Whole Lotta Rosie and Iron Maiden’s Run to The Hills constantly, much to the chagrin of everything else in the Youth Club! Ro then went to his first gig – SAXON! Since then all music has been his passion, with metal at its heart.
