Acclaimed Eastern European emotional metalcore band DRAG ME OUT has released a brand new single, "Can't Keep On Running Away", via Life Or Death.
The song captures the band at their most urgent, balancing crushing guitars and soaring vocals with a chorus built for repeat listens.
"Can't Keep On Running Away" is the first new music from DRAG ME OUT since the release of the band's second album, "Demons Away", which came out in May 2022 via DRAG ME OUT's own label imprint Lödereih Music.
The track explores the breaking point that comes when avoidance is no longer an option.
It is a song about confronting the things that follow you, the emotions you try to bury, and the realization that eventually you have to face yourself.
With "Can't Keep On Running Away", DRAG ME OUT delivers a powerful reminder of why it remains one of the most compelling names in the modern heavy scene.
The single feels both explosive and deeply personal, pairing arena-sized melodies with the raw energy that fans have come to expect from the band.
"Can't Keep On Running Away" is available now on all major streaming platforms.
Frontman Denis "Stoff" Shaforostov spoke about the decision to release "Can't Keep On Running Away": "I've been working on new music all along and really got too much music in my bag right now.
It just felt like I couldn't wait for much longer.
I've got hundreds of demos that I've put in the drawer 'cause I constantly felt like I wanted to give people something bigger than what I had at the time." Shaforostov also addressed his past with ASKING ALEXANDRIA, saying: "I don't really feel like I had to go through separation necessarily.
My fans are always showing me support no matter which era, album or a song they prefer." He added: "Some people are going to complain even a decade later, you can't really please and make everyone understand what really happened back in the day."
