Tetrarch is slated to release their Napalm Records debut album The Ugly Side Of Me on May 9, and is now streaming the second single “Never Again (Parasite)” (the first was “Live Not Fantasize” prior to the album announcement). The single is also the vocal debut of guitarist Diamond Rowe, who let’s be honest – fucking crushed it on this one.
“We are so excited to finally announce the release of our upcoming record, entitled The Ugly Side of Me, as well as our second single, ‘Never Again (Parasite)’. ‘Never Again (Parasite)’ was such a fun song for us to write,” said Tetrarch of the new single.
“It’s very moody and dark but lyrically extremely easy for anyone to relate to. It’s basically about losing trust in so many of the situations and people around you – while at the same time, isolating and losing a sense of self. It also kind of has a vibe of taking back what’s yours and saying ‘this won’t happen to me ever again’. I suppose you can look at it either way. This song shows a very different side of our band especially coming off of our last single ‘Live Not Fantasize’.
“This is also the first time we have featured Diamond on vocals in a capacity other than just background textures and we are super stoked for everyone to hear her voice in this way.”
The Ugly Side Of Me was co-produced by Dave Otero (Cattle Decapitation, Archspire, Vitriol, etc.) Rowe, and Tetrarch vocalist and guitarist Josh Fore. Pre-orders for the record are available here.
