“Time Bomb” marks blacktoothed‘s fifth single from their upcoming album Headway, out on January 24 via Arising Empire.
The track showcases a fresh, modern sound, driven by pulsating beats and the heavy use of autotuned vocals as a core stylistic element. Electrically distorted guitar riffs add a sharp, futuristic edge, while “Time Bomb” delivers what might be the most brutal breakdown in the band’s history.
Visually, the song is equally fun: not only the title, but also the accompanying music video playfully references the look and vibe of late 2000s pop videos, almost paying homage to that era.
The band says about the track: “We love ‘Time Bomb’ — the mix of beats in the verses and the old-school chorus is just so much fun, especially live.”
Headway marks a significant milestone in blacktoothed’s career, showcasing their evolution and growth as musicians. The album is a testament to their relentless pursuit of musical excellence, with each track meticulously crafted to deliver an unforgettable listening experience. Fans can expect a rich tapestry of alternative rock, infused with powerful lyrics and captivating melodies that speak to the soul.
blacktoothed’s Headway is set to cement blacktoothed’s place as one of the genre’s most compelling acts. With its raw honesty, powerful performances, and innovative sound, the album promises to captivate both long-time fans and new listeners alike.
Stay tuned for the release of Headway on January 24 and immerse yourself in the electrifying world of blacktoothed.
