Wallen describes the track as exploring “love, hate, pain, power, and the all-consuming cycles of obsession.”
The chemistry between Wallen and Roughton is undeniable — his soaring melodies collide with her sung-scream intensity, creating a stunning display of vocal dynamics. Fueled by razor-sharp riffs and infectious hooks, “Teeth Marks” lives up to its name, leaving a lasting musical impression.
Following the release of his 2024 solo album Infinity Now via Rise Records, Wallen has continued building his own sonic world with a run of singles including “Dead Inside,” a passionate cover of Avril Lavigne’s “I’m With You,” and the fan-favorite “Us Against the World.”
