Traitors are streaming their third new single of the year, “Release“. This track waas preceded by “Break” this past April, and last month’s “SBC“. The Floridian deathcore band will have those three tracks featured on their new album “Phobias“, due out February 21st.
Vocalist Tyler Shelton said of this newest offering from it:
“‘Release‘ captures the internal battle of mental anguish and suppressed emotions, delivering an unapologetic reflection on pain, anger, and disillusionment. Blending aggressive lyrics with a haunting introspection, it confronts feelings of being left behind, crushed under societal pressures, and the struggle to maintain a façade of strength.
The chorus channels a cathartic release of suffering, with visceral lines that demand the listener to feel the weight of unresolved trauma.”
As for the album, he stated that it, “delves into the darkest corners of the human mind, exploring themes of mental anguish, inner torment, and destructive cycles.” He continued:
“As a successor to the EP Night Terrors, this collection of tracks amplifies the intensity, confronting fears and personal demons head-on. The lyrics paint vivid pictures of isolation, manic episodes, self-loathing, and violent outbursts.
Each song grapples with the overwhelming weight of trauma, regret, and fractured identity, offering no resolution but instead laying bare the relentless mental battles within. It’s an unfiltered expression of pain and the struggle to survive amidst chaos.”
