SHOWING TEETH Unveil Their Debut Single “Labyrinth” With Guest Drumming From Periphery’s Matt Halpern

Metalcore artist Showing Teeth has released her debut single “Labyrinth.” The track arrives with added weight thanks to Matt Halpern of Periphery, who handled studio drumming for the song. Dan Book produced the single, while Zakk Cervini (Bad Omens, Spiritbox) took on mixing and mastering duties.

This first release builds on the strong social media presence developed by the band’s namesake vocalist, whose content has generated millions of views and likes. She shared of this new chapter:

“Showing Teeth is the project I’ve always dreamed of making but never thought was possible. It’s a fully uncensored creative outlet where anything goes. ‘Labyrinth‘ being the first track is very symbolic of that, as I recorded the initial demo as a full vocal one-take just to get it out of my system, but quickly fell in love with how raw the emotions were in the track. I’m so excited to release my own music and see how people relate to the tracks and how they interpret the lyrics and apply them to their own lives.”

A press release further described the meaning behind the song:

“‘Labyrinth‘ is a symbolic journey about giving away all of yourself to feel accepted by another person, just to discover that it’s never enough. The verses are extremely panicked and frustrated. It’s a frantic, rushed feeling when you are trying to do everything you possibly can to make someone else happy. The aggressive verses contrast a soft, melodic chorus to highlight the feeling of relief when you think you’ve reached the exit of the labyrinth; which in this case is another person’s acceptance. It feels peaceful, as if nothing was ever wrong. But then you hit another dead end, and suddenly the rage returns. You are the only person that can help yourself escape the labyrinth. Only you can save yourself.”
