“We couldn’t be more excited to introduce ‘Deadweight’ to our fans. This song represents a significant step in our musical evolution. ‘Deadweight’ is an immense, crushing track that speaks to the turmoil of anxiety and the complexities of the human experience. ‘Deadweight’ marks the start of a musical journey that has been in the works for some time. We’re genuinely excited for our fans to come along with us as we approach the release of our upcoming EP!”
The unrelenting sound and electrifying live performances of By the Thousands have etched them firmly into the metal scene. With their latest single, "Deadweight," they continue to push the envelope of musical innovation and sonic intensity.
In the metal scene, By the Thousands have risen to prominence for their relentless energy and a sound that blends aggressive breakdowns, melodic solos, and powerful vocals. In addition to over 1.5 million Spotify streams, they've shared stages with industry giants such as Atreyu, Oceano, and Signs Of The Swarm. As a result of their ability to deliver electrifying performances, they have cemented their status as an influential force, pushing the boundaries of modern metal and leaving a mark on the genre in general.
By the Thousands is a progressive metalcore band hailing from the Twin Cities, Minnesota. Intense grooves, infectious breakdowns, melodic solos, and powerful harsh vocals are all part of their sound. Midwest technical metal blends aggressively with hard-hitting aggression.
A self-titled debut EP was released in 2014, followed by a full-length album in 2015. In 2018, BTT released "Visions of Inner Depth," their highly anticipated second album. During this time they landed opening slots on tours with bands such as Reflections and Oceano.
As the pandemic approached, Modern Empire Records released their most ambitious album to date, "Dead Matter". They are taking their music in a darker, much heavier direction with their forthcoming EP. Their current sound is more cohesive than before.
Their live performances are intense, high-energy, and leave fans begging for more because By the Thousands tours relentlessly. In recent years, they have gained a reputation for being a must-see "live band." Most bands struggle today to match the quality of their recordings live. With By the Thousands, that is not the case. A passionately driven, fierce performance complements the crisp album sound flawlessly. As their fans have come to recognize and love, By the Thousands never hesitates to remind the metal community that nothing will stand between them and their status as a preeminent band.
