TRAITORS, made up of Tyler Shelton (vocals), Alan De La Torre (guitar), Luke Fladino (guitar), Josh Herman (bass), and Soul Kerr (drums) is a metalcore/deathcore band based out of South Florida. The five-piece most recently dropped their latest track, "Release," off of their forthcoming album, PHOBIAS.

On the single, Shelton shares: "'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."
The forthcoming album—their fifth since 2013—is due out February 21st and can be pre-saved here.
I recently had the opportunity to chat with the legendary Tyler Shelton and this is what he had to say.
