We know that we express gratitude so much, but when 4 people have the same dream and the same determination, it makes the journey that much better.
That winter (in the top picture), we toured across the country in a van with no heat because it was broken. We could literally see our breath inside of the van as we drove along 😂. We slept in Walmart parking lots in that van and played for literally anyone who would listen at any bar/venue that would allow us to play. We happily did all of this for no money (if we were lucky enough to make any, it was just enough to get us gas to get to the next city). We drove ourselves, had no crew, barely slept, ate beans and ravioli from a can (pretty sure Josh lived on tangerines for a week once 😂😂), showered at planet fitness, spent off days at Starbucks so we could use their internet, and the list goes on and on - however, these were still some of the greatest times. 🥹 Now, imagine doing all of that while being told by so many people that you’re not good enough. I’m so proud that we just bet on ourselves
Fast forward to now (bottom picture): We’re standing in front of our very own tour bus. We just finished our very first European tour where we met so many fans who came out to the shows and sang the songs so loudly in countries that we have never stepped foot in before. We don’t drive anymore, we get to go to bed, we have a crew (hardest working people ALWAYS), we don’t have to live off of tangerines anymore and we can use their WiFi in hotels and on our bus (and not mooch off of Starbucks).
We still have the same dreams and the same drive — but now we get to share it with more people than we ever imagined and for that we are truly thankful.
None of this would’ve been possible without every single one of you who has supported us over the years. Whether you’ve been here since those van days or just found us yesterday, thank you for being a part of this journey.
This life, this journey, and YOU mean the world to us and we will never let any of you down for allowing us to live our dreams every day 🖤 We feel so lucky to be here doing this.
See you on the road again VERY soon. 🤘🏿
- Diamond, Josh, Dooms and Ruben
We are extremely honored to have a 3 page spread in the August 2025 issue of @guitarworldmagazine ! There’s no bigger honor than being a part of the latest @blacksabbath issue. 🦇 🟣
Gregory Adam’s speaks to Diamond and Josh about the creation of ‘The Ugly Side of Me’, Diamond’s history making @officialjacksonguitars signature model and what the monstrous future holds for Tetrarch.
“[Rowe]: My mom is a perfectionist. We sent her “I’m Not Right” from Unstable when we finished recording it, and she got to the end and was like, “Why don’t y’all go back to the intro riff at the end?” We were ending the song with a blast beat, but then… we did it [her way], and it ripped. [Laughs] But my mom is the last person we send music to. We want to stay hyped about it as long as possible. It’s like in [2004 Metallica documentary] Some Kind of Monster when Lars [Ulrich] shows [music to] his dad, and his dad says the whole album is trash, and then Lars feels terrible. It’s like that with my mom. [Laughs] When we send her something now, we have to feel really good about it, and then we hold our breath. Like, please don’t hate it. She does have a good ear, though.”

This weekend on the FMJ RADIO show, I’m joined by @tetrarchdiamond and @joshoftetrarch from @tetrarchmusic ! We’ll talk about their long-running musical partnership that started way back when they were kids, Diamond’s early obsession with learning Master of Puppets on guitar, and what it feels like to see fans shouting them out as one of the best modern nu metal bands on Reddit.
Plus — how they envisioned the band in the beginning, how far they’ve come with new album The Ugly Side of Me, and what would make this album cycle feel like a win.

ESP artist Josh Fore is a cofounder of the metal group Tetrarch, and he’s here to tell you why the LTD Deluxe EC-01FT is ideal for his precise style of guitar playing. “We play in drop-A on a six-string, which can be a nightmare sometimes. But even with the 24.75” neck on the EC-01FT, I put on some thick strings and it holds its tune super well. You can dig in; it’s not all floppy. It just takes low tunings really well.” #espguitars #tetrarch #EC-01FT
