Emerging from the shadows of heartbreak, fury, and self-reckoning, The Estes Method has arrived with their most haunting and powerful release to date: “Withering Away.”This brand-new single is a relentless sonic exorcism—an anthem for those who’ve walked through fire and come out burned but breathing.

Fusing jagged riffs, pulse-pounding drums, and soul-tearing vocals, “Withering Away” delivers a visceral gut punch wrapped in cinematic atmosphere. It’s the sound of drowning in your own mind, clawing at the walls of isolation, and finding the strength to scream through the silence.

The Estes Method doesn't just perform music

—they bleed it.

"Withering Away" captures the slow, internal collapse that happens when comfort turns into confinement. It reflects the numbness that sets in when you’re chasing relief but sinking deeper—watching the person you used to be slip further into the background. The song explores the isolation, shame, and quiet destruction that lives just beneath the surface—where you can’t breathe, can’t feel, and can’t see a way out. But it also marks a turning point: the moment you see the storm for what it is and start fighting your way back. In the end, "Withering Away" is about finding the strength to face yourself and begin again.

THE ESTES METHOD BIO

THE ESTES METHOD is a female-fronted metal band forged in the shadows of Kansas City, MO. Blending haunting melodies with brutal riffs, they explore themes of personal ruin, rebirth, and the chaos in between. Fusing heavy metal with dark atmospheres and cinematic tension, their sound is a descent into emotional extremes — equal parts raw vulnerability and unrelenting power.

Rising from the wreckage of raw emotion and creative defiance, THE ESTES METHOD returns with a haunting new single that dares to dig deeper than ever before. “I’ve Become” arrived June 9 — and it’s not just a song, it’s a mirror held up to the self.

Following the incendiary success of their breakout single “Reclaim”, The Estes Method pushes their sonic boundaries once more, crafting a track that is as devastating as it is beautiful.

“I’ve Become” confronts the internal war between self-destruction and the will to survive.

The song explores the physical toll of recklessness and emotional torment—where pain is both a consequence and a catalyst. The song follows the protagonist beginning to break free, and drawing strength from the very blood and suffering that once consumed them. It’s a declaration of resilience: pain won’t win and a stronger self emerges. “I’ve Become” is about transformation through darkness—embracing the scars and feeding the fire, one drop at a time.
