Theory of a Deadman led off Savages, their fifth studio album, with "Drown", sending it out as a single on April 22, 2014, and it's a noticeably darker turn for the Canadian band, in both words and sound, than most of their catalog. Tyler Connolly has said it's about isolation and giving in, letting yourself be swept under instead of fighting your way back up.
The band wrote it and tuned down to drop C, and the bass riff is heavy enough that the Ultimate Guitar team singled it out; Randy Shatkowski of Underground Pulse heard Alice in Chains in the playing and a trace of Avenged Sevenfold's M. Shadows in Connolly's voice. Howard Benson produced, Mike Plotnikoff recorded and Jay Ruston mixed, and Roadrunner put it out.
