“‘Gutterflies’ is a middle finger to the abusers and an anthem for the abused,” the band explains about the song’s deeper meaning. “No stone is ever gonna be left unturned, and this band refuse to stand by idly. This one’s for the voiceless, this one’s for the silenced. Now is the time to be loud, now is the time to be deafening.“

Regarding their partnership with Metal Blade and Blacklight Media, the band says, “RXPTRS are honored to be joining the Metal Blade Records family and starting our journey with Blacklight Media. Those that know the band know we work our knuckles bloody, stand up for everything we believe in, and leave the bulls**t at the door, so there’s no other team we’d rather be a part of.“

Blacklight Media Records’ Chris Santos comments, “I’m so excited that RXPTRS has joined the Blacklight Media/Metal Blade Records Family! I was instantly hooked the first time I heard and saw them, by their unique blend of infectiously heavy riffs, insanely catchy lyrics, and their all around rock ‘n’ roll swagger! This is a band that’s going places and I couldn’t be happier to take the ride with them! 2022 will be the year of the RXPTR!“
