It’s the first solo single taken from her debut album, which will be released in 2025.
And here’s some more information about REEBZ and the release:
REEBZ is a mysterious solo artist who first appeared back in 2022, having co-written and featured vocally on songs for prominent names in the Drum & Bass/ Metal crossover scene. She caught the attention of listeners worldwide with her otherworldly vocals; that range from haunting clean melodies to demonic gutturals.
Over the course of 2022 – 2023, REEBZ gained traction and notoriety for her songwriting and vocal abilities, and quickly became a sought-after vocalist within the electronic-metal genre. She has released music on several high-profile labels such as MNRK, FiXT, Eatbrain and Blackout Music – just to name a few.
Throughout her creative endeavours in 2023 and 2024, REEBZ has had consistent support from BBC Radio 1 Introducing Rock, with Alyx Holcombe kicking off the first show of 2024 with a REEBZ X Pythius track, called “In My Head”. This track was also featured on the world-renowned bass music record label, UKF.
Amid a busy year of live vocal performances at several high-profile festivals, REEBZ is gearing up to embark on her own live band shows alongside producer and regular collaboration partner Toronto Is Broken in 2025.
Described by BBC Introducing as “an amazing vocalist and composer” as well as “a fiery new act to watch” by Metal Shock Finland, REEBZ has now turned her full attention to writing her debut album. It encapsulates raw, unrefined emotion, carried by her immense vocal range, with each song telling a story based on her own life experiences.
REEBZ has a refreshing new sound within the Metal scene- combining her love of EDM music with the nostalgia of the early 2000s Metal, Grunge and Nu-Metal.

Fun fact:
As well as a singer/songwriter, REEBZ is also passionate about birds, and is a locally renowned “Bird-Whisperer”. She owns an array of exotic birds (including a pet emu, which she hatched from an egg she bought off eBay)!

About the Song:
“Thanatosis is about primal, animalistic survival in the face of extreme psychological or physical adversity. My guitarist/producer- Christian Hoffmann, and I wrote this last year while I was recalling some darker times in my life years prior.
The song portrays a sense of both sad, human vulnerability, as well as demonic disassociation. I deliberately wanted the lyrics to remain somewhat ambiguous. This is in the hope that it may resonate with other people out there who may be experiencing some kind of turmoil. I hope it helps them to feel less alone”.

Lyrics
Holding my breath
I hope nobody finds me
Fear overriding all my senses
I shut down to escape
Now I’m in a state of Thanatosis
I play dead
Fighting fate
Now I’m in a state of Thanatosis
Terrible thoughts
Hunt me like I’m prey
Every nights a new war
Keeping me awake
I don’t wanna face the
Whispers in my mind
I’m out of options
Now they got me
Cornered
Chorus
I cannot run my fear
Captivates me
I cannot shed a tear
For what I’ve become
I shut down to escape
Now I’m in a state of Thanatosis
Chorus
