Nu metal trailblazers Tetrarch drop first new single in three years “Live Not Fantasize”

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 is 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” Mangin, Tetrarch’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 Otero, Diamond Rowe and Josh Fore – provides an intense preview for what’s to come for Tetrarch in the new year.

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. Diamond Rowe

Keep watch in 2025, because as Guitar World claimed for all to see –
“Tetrarch are on the verge of world domination”!

Fierce individuality and a fearless embrace of the outsider are at the heart of Tetrarch.

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 Pollstar, Billboard, Revolver, Alternative Press, Guitar World, Guitar Player, Premier Guitar, Kerrang! 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 Hard, New Blood and 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 SiriusXM, HardDrive, Full Metal Jackie and many more of the country’s leading active rock outlets. Having appeared on major festivals such as Epicenter and Exit 111 and boasting tours with genre icons such as Sevendust, Atreyu and Nonpoint, Tetrarch are poised to elevate themselves to the next level with the mighty nonconformist’s spirit that has driven them since day one.
