Official press release:
Outlier have officially signed with Oxide Records and are wasting no time making their arrival known with the release of their new single and music video, “Digital Hell”. The track serves as both a warning and a wake-up call, tackling society’s growing dependence on technology and the invisible grip it has on modern life.
“Digital Hell” asks a question few are willing to confront: Are we still controlling technology, or has it quietly begun controlling us? Singer Joey Arena says:
“We built technology to serve humanity. Somewhere along the way, we began serving it. We traded privacy for convenience, presence for distraction, and truth for algorithms. The most dangerous prison isn’t one with walls, it’s the one we willingly carry in our pockets every day. The next false gods won’t ask to be worshipped, they’ll seek your attention. They’ll promise connection while feeding isolation, promise knowledge while drowning out wisdom, and promise freedom while quietly collecting every piece of who you are. ‘Digital Hell’ is the soundtrack to a world that may not realize what it’s losing until it’s already gone.”
He adds:
“Not every apocalypse arrives with fire. Some arrive one notification at a time. We surrender our privacy without resistance, mistake constant connection for genuine community, and allow the things we’ve created to define the people we’re becoming.”
The release comes on the heels of vocalist Joey Arena’s guest appearance on Motionless In White’s latest single, “Fight Like Hell”, further introducing his voice to an even wider audience.
Reflecting on the collaboration, Arena shared:
“Thank you so much to Motionless In White for having me be a part of something so special and throw down on ‘Fight Like Hell’. I am eternally grateful for the opportunity to be a part of this banger and the creative process. Absolutely loving the fan response and support. Keep running it up!”
With a new label home at Oxide Records and their most ambitious music to date, Outlier are positioning themselves as one of heavy music’s most thought-provoking new voices, unafraid to challenge both listeners and the world around them. Oxide Records founder Andrew Wetzel says:
“We are extremely excited to welcome Outlier to the Oxide Music roster. This is a band with deep roots in the rock & metal scene who align perfectly with our mission of building the next generation of heavy hitters.”
“Digital Hell” is available now on all major streaming platforms.
