Following the band’s single releases after a decade-long hiatus, Drop Dead, Gorgeous has revealed the music video for their newest single, “Sink Your Teeth.”
Drop Dead, Gorgeous
Drop Dead, Gorgeous became an unstoppable force in the early 2000s with their emotionally-charged approach to post-hardcore. As teenagers, hailing from Denver, they released their debut, In Vogue, in 2006. The synthy breakdowns, theatrical flair, and raw vulnerability skyrocketed them into the spotlight. Then, they followed up with albums such as Worse Than A Fairy Tale and The Hot N’ Heavy, cementing their place in the scene.
The tastemakers at VICE tipped the band as that which helped to “perfect a style of post-hardcore that other bands would model themselves after. Where other bands in the scene would regurgitate the same testosterone-tinged bro-rock, Drop Dead, Gorgeous made their mark by putting [emotional] vulnerability into song.”
After a decade-long hiatus, core members Daniel “Stills” Stillman, Danny Cooper, and Jake Hansen returned in 2024 for surprise shows and the release of “Six Feet” in 2025. “Burn” followed soon after, continuing the momentum.
Sink Your Teeth
Following the previous singles comes the newest offering from the iconic group, “Sink Your Teeth.” The metalcore-infused emotional confession proves that they aren’t chasing the past, but building a new world and sound for themselves. The catchy melody and grim lyrics, such as “Sink your teeth into my neck / Swimming closer to my death,” showcase inner turmoil and reflect the struggle in finding strength.
“‘Sink Your Teeth’ is a dark, introspective track that turns personal struggle into resilience,” says Stillman. “Through vivid imagery and raw emotion, it explores confronting destructive patterns and finding strength in facing the darkness head-on.”
The music video, directed by Raul Rosco Guerrero, includes scenes of various old black and white movies, including Nosferatu. Intertwining the scenes are animated sections of the lyrics in a gothic font and a woman in a dress being stalked by clawed hands. The video is found here!

The Artery Foundation
Drop Dead, Gorgeous’ partnership with fellow industry titans of the ‘00s and ‘10s metalcore boom, The Artery Foundation, is a combination that makes perfect sense. In 2010, The Artery Foundation launched Artery Recordings, a label imprint that supported acts such as Chelsea Grin and Kublai Khan TX. Then, in 2025, they rebooted to a full service company.
Artery had helped guide talent from sweaty basements to some of the world’s largest concerts. The list of acts that started with Artery is extensive, including A Day To Remember, Motionless In White, Dance Gavin Dance, Sleeping with Sirens, and more.
