TETRARCH‘s tireless ascent to metal stardom has been palpable in the scene since their formation. Now, after four years of intensely focused growth and lead guitarist Diamond Rowe’s emergence as Jackson Guitars’ first female signature artist, the modern metal stars will release their trailblazing third album, The Ugly Side Of Me, on May 9, 2025 via Napalm Records.
In celebration of the album announcement, the band just dropped the album’s second single, the anthemic “Never Again (Parasite)”, alongside a new music video. The standout track – which features the vocal debut of Diamond Rowe and follows buzzy first single “Live Not Fantasize” – carefully balances thick grooves and atmosphere with deep-cutting lyricism and the multi-faceted vocals of frontman Josh Fore.
TETRARCH offers about the track and video:
“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. 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.”
