Metalcore trio blacktoothed return with new single 'MONSTERS' • GRIMM Gent

With ‘MONSTERS,’ blacktoothed deliver one of their most emotionally direct and introspective releases to date. Blending atmospheric modern rock with raw, honest lyricism, the track dives deep into the fear of losing yourself and the internal struggle of not becoming someone you no longer recognise.

At its core, ‘MONSTERS’ explores inner darkness, self-doubt, and the lingering weight of thoughts that refuse to fade. The song reflects on how easily reality can be distorted, how feelings can be numbed, and how internalised lies can slowly take hold. Lines like “Losing our feelings / We break what’s real” capture that quiet unraveling, while the repeated “Can’t let you turn into a monster” feels like both a warning and a desperate attempt to hold on to what’s left.

Sonically, the band expand their signature sound with a strong sense of contrast and atmosphere. Driving instrumentation and polished production meet emotional vulnerability, carried by expressive male lead vocals and haunting female backings that add depth and tension throughout the track. The result is a dynamic balance between heaviness and space, intense without losing its sense of melody.

Over the past years, blacktoothed have continuously refined their sound and identity, building a reputation for combining modern rock elements with emotional depth and strong songwriting. This steady evolution has helped them grow their audience and establish themselves as a distinctive voice within the scene.

With ‘MONSTERS,’ blacktoothed take another step forward, not just sonically but thematically. It is a song about confronting what’s inside, recognising the signs before it’s too late, and fighting to stay human in the face of everything trying to pull you under.
