Tetrarch: te·trarch: ˈteträrk: the governor of one of four divisions of a country or province.
A fitting name for this four piece band from Atlanta, Georgia as they storm the metal scene with their sophomore album, Unstable.
I first discovered Tetrarch from their single release for this album, ‘I’m Not Right’, and I was immediately thrown into a DeLorean and felt as if I was a middle school teenager again, blasting this as loud as I could.
It was such a euphoric, nostalgia of Nu metal that I loved as a teen that carried into the following singles to come and I completely embraced it like a best friend I haven’t seen in a decade.
In this new album release, songs such as ‘Unstable’ & ‘ Pushed Down ‘ embrace the Korn/Disturbed 2000’s sound while still keeping their own identity. When finishing the album with its last track, ‘Trust Me‘, I returned back to 2021 and wanted to get back in that DeLorean.
It is said history repeats itself, and Tetrarch aim to be the new pioneers of Nu Metal.
