Formed in 2013 in South Florida, TRAITORS emerged as a pioneering force in the deathcore scene, known for their signature blend of slow, sludgy downtempo riffs.
The band will drop the new album — and fifth overall — titled PHOBIAS. The album is due out on February 21. Pre-order it here.
Traitors just dropped the video for the incendiary new single "No Witness."
"'No Witness' captures the overwhelming sense of isolation and internal chaos that comes with battling mental health struggles," shares the band. "The song plunges into a mind in turmoil, where no one else can see or understand the depth of anguish within. The relentless weight of negative thoughts, self-doubt, and despair is vividly portrayed, as the lyrics wrestle with the desire for relief and the crushing reality of feeling trapped in one's own head. Dark, raw, and introspective, 'No Witness' reflects the inner war with no escape in sight."
Regarding the album, Traitors explain that it "delves into the darkest corners of the human mind, exploring themes of mental anguish, inner torment, and destructive cycles," Shelton continues. "As a successor to the EP Night Terrors, this collection of tracks amplifies the intensity, confronting fears and personal demons head-on. The lyrics paint vivid pictures of isolation, manic episodes, self-loathing, and violent outbursts. Each song grapples with the overwhelming weight of trauma, regret, and fractured identity, offering no resolution but instead laying bare the relentless mental battles within. It's an unfiltered expression of pain and the struggle to survive amidst chaos."
In other words, PHOBIAS is not for the weak.
It's a sonically and emotionally pummelling record from back to front. It's a musical bloodletting that will leave you feeling cleansed afterwards.
Novacaine Rating: 10/10 – "Get ready to get a little fucked up as Traitors' new single 'No Witness' will do just that: leave no witnesses while it absolutely decimates your soul."
