Los Angeles, California's TETRARCH – metal’s hottest new rising stars – have turned heads with their ability to successfully blend the addictive stylings of favorite modern metal pillars while maintaining a fresh sound that breaks new ground. Since bursting onto the scene with their breakout independent debut Freak in 2017, the band has garnered remarkable early acclaim from notable press, radio, industry and fellow artists alike at an impressive rate unmatched by any other new band. In 2021, they will release their sophomore full-length, Unstable – a 10-track barnburner that confirms the band’s icon status. The album wastes no time igniting with the unforgettable, punching first single “I’m Not Right†(currently boasting over 1 million views on YouTube and counting, plus huge fan buzz) – a prime example of TETRARCH’s fresh sound. The anthem's straight earworm hook, boosted by frontman Josh Fore’s raw emotion and dynamic vocal style, pays homage to the genre’s greats while lifted by the eerie leads of trailblazing lead guitarist Diamond Rowe. Radio-ready, lyrically-relevant tracks like anti-bullying anthem for the ages, “Sick Of Youâ€, and ode to relationships-gone-bad, “You Never Listenâ€, showcase TETRARCH’s hefty progressions and unforgettable choruses. Unstable’s heaviest offerings prove the band’s dynamic assault of varying heavy styles, most notedly on assertive breakneck burner “Negative Noise†– a track that could turn the heads of metal’s greatest riff writers with Rowe’s mighty axe attack – and on the melodically chilling “Take A Look Insideâ€, highlighting the powerful rhythm section of bassist Ryan Lerner and drummer Ruben Limas. The album even ventures to explore slower introspective sides of the band on the standout, melodic “Addicted†and closer track “Trust Meâ€, which trickles in supernatural atmosphere. Delivering heavy hit after hit, Unstable is 10 tracks of pure potency and undeniable talent. Look no further, TETRARCH is the band to watch.
