Metalcore band Dead Rabbitts, led by vocalist, Craig Mabbitt, have released the single “Oxygen” featuring Atilla vocalist Chris Fronzak, aka Fronzilla. The new song explores both the sense of paralysis that life’s pressures can induce, and also the struggle to push back against them in order to breathe again.

On the new single, Craig Mabbitt shares:

Oxygen is a song about bottling the shit that life throws at you up so much you feel like you can’t breathe, playing pretend and wearing a mask with a smile when you’re feeling the complete opposite, an empowering tune to help push you through and find that strength inside again and there’s no better feature I could’ve asked for when it comes to giving the middle finger to life’s bullshit and living your best life than FRONZ. He absolutely crushed it and I hope this song can help you crush your day, your competition, your workout, your shift, your drive, whatever it may be! Thank you for listening. It’s Rabbitt season.

Fronzilla adds:

I’m stoked to announce that I had the honor of working on the new single “Oxygen” with the incredible Dead Rabbitts. This track is straight fire, and it was an absolute blast collaborating with Craig for the first time. Craig’s an absolute beast on the mic, and his energy brought out the best in all of us. Can’t wait for you all to hear it!

Though a release date has yet to be confirmed, the band’s upcoming album, Redefined, will be available via Judge & Jury Records, a company founded by multi-platinum producer Howard Benson (My Chemical Romance, Seether, Skillet, Of Mice & Men) and Neil Sanderson of Three Days Grace.

The instrumentation was recorded by Benson and Sanderson at West Valley Recording Studios, Benson’s studio in Woodland Hills, and engineered by Mike Plotnikoff. Reuniting with Benson and Plotnikoff for the first time in several years, Mabbitt leaned into the Metalcore sound that sets this project apart from his other recent work.
