However, they decided to hold it back until now due to its distinct vibe compared to the other tracks.,“We all loved this song when we recorded it for our first album, but it was a little different to the other tracks, with more of a Rammstein kind of vibe,” bassist Tombs explained.

“So we decided to hold it back… until this moment.

We've already started recording our second studio album, we're looking to the future, so now ‘Drag Me Under’ makes perfect sense, a glimpse into what's to come.”.,The band's debut album, Forever We Burn, was released on September 27, 2024 via Spinefarm, with several singles and videos supporting their work.
