Alternative metal quartet THIS I OWE proudly announces the release of their powerful new single, “Swallow,” a haunting and deeply emotional track now streaming on all major digital platforms.

The idea for “Swallow” came soon after the release of the band’s critically acclaimed debut album, Alchemists. Though already deep into planning their next major project, This I Owe felt a pressing creative need to release one more track, marking a poignant bridge between chapters.

“Swallow” is a raw, atmospheric ballad shaped in the emotional aftermath of the band’s debut. True to its title, the song reflects the profound experience of being pulled under by your own thoughts and feelings. This I Owe masterfully crafted a mood of slow, sinking tension that feels distinctly unsettling yet strangely calm, carrying that signature emotion with a subtle, yet effective, classic-rock edge.

“Swallow” marks a small step away from the album’s sound, but not so far that fans won’t recognize the band’s identity. THIS I OWE are confident listeners will hear familiar threads woven into this new chapter.

The Legacy of Alchemists

The new single arrives on the heels of the band’s celebrated debut album, Alchemists. Conceptually, the album delves deep into the universal experience of grief. It follows a protagonist navigating the complex stages of loss, mourning the death of hope, their “Queen of Hearts.” Moving from sorrow and anger to reflection and eventual acceptance, Alchemists is both a deeply personal journey and a cathartic, sonic ritual for listeners.
