German modern rock outfit blacktoothed are back with their most emotionally direct release yet — new single "MONSTERS," out now via Arising Empire.

The track dives deep into the fear of losing yourself — exploring inner darkness, self-doubt, and the slow unraveling that comes when internalized lies take hold. Lines like "Losing our feelings / We break what's real" capture that quiet, creeping process of becoming unrecognizable to yourself, while the repeated "Can't let you turn into a monster" reads as both a warning and a desperate plea.

Sonically, "MONSTERS" delivers a dynamic balance between heaviness and space — driving instrumentation and polished production set against expressive lead vocals and haunting female backing harmonies. Heavy without losing its melodic core, it's a strong, purposeful step forward for the band.
