Tallah Unleash New Album & Music Video + 2025 US Tour Dates

Genre-defiant nu-core disruptors Tallah release their most ambitious work to date — Primeval: Obsession // Detachment, a fully live-tracked, sci-fi concept album that pulls listeners into a world of collapsing morality, split identities, and sonic chaos. Out now via Earache Records, the album’s release is accompanied by a brand new music video for focus track “Depleted,” one of the album’s strangest and most textural songs. Stream the album here and watch the music video for “Depleted” here.

Shot among rusted rebar and yellow-jacket swarms, the “Depleted” video captures the dystopian atmosphere of the record’s second act – wild, decaying, and haunted. Sharing more on the experience, vocalist Justin Bonitz shares

“Despite all the dust, yellow jackets, and rusty rebar, this was one of the coolest locations we have ever shot at. There was so much to explore, and it really captured the vibe/aesthetic we saw in our heads when listening to the song. Derek Rathbun (director) made everything so easy and streamlined, so the shoot felt a lot shorter than it actually was. ‘Depleted’ is one of the weirdest songs on the album, and we were hoping the video would match the same energy. Have fun listening!”

Primeval: Obsession // Detachment was recorded live in Michigan with producer Josh Schroeder using no clicks, no edits, and no safety nets. Like its four predecessors “What We Know,” “A Primeval Detachment,” “Augmented,” and “As Fate Undoes” also ties directly into the album’s layered sci-fi narrative. The concept follows two characters, Ana and Sheelah, on a morally destructive journey across an alien world. Fans can dive deeper into the lore through The Primeval Game, a playable story-world that’s updated monthly with new clues, song teasers, and narrative expansions. Explore the game, built in collaboration with Enzo Interactive here.

Primeval: Obsession // Detachment stands as Tallah‘s most ambitious and uncompromising work to date. Weaving sci-fi storytelling together with deliberately imperfect performances, Tallah prove that human instinct still has power in an increasingly artificial landscape.

Tallah will hit the road this fall in support of King 810, kicking off November 3 in Lawrence, KS. The tour was sparked after the band’s longtime producer Josh Schroeder played King 810 frontman David Gunn an early preview of Primeval.

“David Gunn hit us up after Josh Schroeder showed him our new album,” says bassist Max Portnoy. “Both bands share a love for raw, live recordings, so he was super into what we were doing and invited us to join the tour. We were stoked since we’ve been into King for as long as we’ve been a band.”

Tickets for all shows are available here. Full routing below.

About Tallah:
Emerging from Pennsylvania in 2018, Tallah fuse the percussive force of second-generation drummer-turned-bassist Max Portnoy with the unpredictable dexterity of vocalist and viral phenom Justin Bonitz, and the phenomenal guitarist duo of Derrick Schneider and Alex Snowden to form a sound that’s part brutalist nu-metal, part theatrical meltdown, and entirely their own. What began as a raw homage to the early-2000s metal they were raised on — Slipknot, Korn, Linkin Park — has since evolved into something far stranger and far more singular.

They made waves with their 2020 debut Matriphagy, a twisted concept album soaked in trauma and noise. The follow-up, The Generation Of Danger (2022), saw them push their hybrid sound further into chaos — earning millions of streams, high-profile festival slots, and nominations at both the Heavy Music Awards and AIM Independent Music Awards.

But it’s on album three, Primeval: Obsession // Detachment (out now via Earache Records), that Tallah truly shatter what’s left of the mold. Decamping to Michigan to record the entire project live with longtime producer Josh Schroeder, the band abandoned edits, clicks, backing tracks, and rules. What remains is pure instinct — feral, volatile, and unrelentingly human.

Conceptually, the record unfolds across a sci-fi narrative that follows Ana, a nurse, and Sheelah, an assassin — two strangers manipulated by a shadowy force and driven to the edges of their morality. The mirrored structure, warped sonic callbacks, easter eggs, and ambiguous lyrical layering reflect a story full of tests, dualities, and spiraling identity shifts.

To date, Tallah have clocked up 29.7 million Spotify streams and 6 million YouTube views.
