we’d like to introduce you to Scott Magruder (@tha_1_andonly ); the otherrr voice joining us on “Broken💔Lovers”. 😏🔥 a local teddy bear with a big mouth and a heart of gold, Scott is the frontman of longtime WV metal mainstays, @dysfigure .
•
having shared and played many stages with him and his band over the years, we felt it only right to ask him to lend his vocals and support on this new step into @diegression_official ’s future. 😌🤘🏿🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼 PRE-SAVE LINK IN OUR BIO!
we are BEYOND PROUD to finally share new music from @diegression_official with you! 😆 our new song, “Broken Lovers,” will be released on May 9, 2026. our first new material since 2023’s EPILOGUE EP, and the first to be collectively written by the current line-up.
•
today we reveal the single’s cover art created by the ever-talented @tattypatts ; who also helped bring our beloved DiEguy to life. we will share the song’s guest vocalist, a close friend of the band, within the next two weeks. 🔥🔥🔥
•
if the date sounds familiar, “Broken Lovers” will release the same day as our New York City premiere in Brooklyn at The Woodshop for @wackenmetalbattle.official ’s East Coast finals! 😏👀 a little incentive and self-encouragement to bring our all and BEST to that stage and a parting gift to those in attendance when we leave it: our first official DiEfamily of NYC! 🗣️LFG! 🤘🏿🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
today on the road to the release of “Broken💔Lovers” THIS SATURDAY, we shine a light on the other artists that come along with us on our artistic journey. ☺️🔥 THIS is Patty (@tattypatts ) and she…is DiEguy’s mother; his artistic creator. 🖤🖤🖤 a local tattoo artist of 5 years at @ambrotostattoogermantown ; apprenticing under @caution138 and @mikey5thousand , we knew that going forward we wanted…a character that we could inject into @diegression_official ’s next phase of imagery, so we brought our ideas to her.

describing who we saw DiEguy as was/is obviously simple enough, but what about the situations he/we find him/ourselves in? what about the emotions he/we feel as these upcoming new songs tell a story? “Broken💔Lovers” is basically about NEEDING to let go of a relationship that both parties know is dead; cutting the cord, being with one’s self, learning to understand the silence, and self-growth after what may have been a traumatic experience…but having to mend your broken heart as the dust settles. through simplicity, Patty gave us a hurt version of DiEguy who will only grow from this moment in his story; we all do. everything will be okay in the end. GO GIVE HER A FOLLOW AND HER PROPS; she will be behind a lot of our designs going forward. 😌🤘🏿🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
though today is to be seen as celebration of one of our own, LET US NOT FORGET that coinciding with the release of our new song/single, “Broken💔Lovers”, WE will be playing NYC for the VERY FIRST TIME one week from today. 🔥🔥🔥
•
we take with us our songs that are familiar in our home venues and play them for a new audience at The Woodshop in Brooklyn. we will play to win a spot in the US Finals of @wackenmetalbattle.official contest, but all in all, we will have fun. wish us well as we channel our energy from here to there; we shall do our best. ☺️🖤🤞🏿🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
once upon a time, two broke a “rule” somewhere on this rock rotating through space…and created yet another human being to share your precious air with, and that human incubated and grew to one day be deemed robbyrule82. 😬😅 for 62yrs, he has roamed the earth collecting all the knowledge from guitar greats that led him to not only becoming the guitar virtuoso that he is today but also a deeply loving and fantastic individual who also doubles as our resident hardware tool and “fix-it” man. 🙃
