It's a masterful slice of electro pop metalcore that will take up real estate in your brain for weeks at a time. It also looks at the kill or be killed stance one often has to take in relationships.
"'All Consuming' is about struggling with the realization that you can't save someone who doesn't want to save themselves," offers singer John Dillon. "That, over time, you can break yourself down in service of others and not realize the effects it had on you. At some point, you're faced with an uncomfortable choice: Them or me. I think this is a moment a lot of people can relate to. We all have someone in our lives that we'd do anything to protect from the cold realities of the world, but eventually you have to tell them 'I won't set myself on fire to keep you warm anymore.'"
"All Consuming" follows prior single "Limerence."
ABOUT CODE:WORDS:
When CODE:WORDS formed in Los Angeles in 2023, they did not arrive quietly. The band showed up with urgency and a sound that already felt lived in - like it had a past behind it, like they'd been a touring act for years before anyone was paying attention.
They first gained attention with "Wash the Blood," a self-released debut that spread without a rollout or a manufactured moment. In this short time, the band has now amassed over two million streams worldwide, not on hype, but on repeat listens and slow-built loyalty. Early 2026 marked another breakout moment for CODE:WORDS as they announced their signing to longtime industry powerhouse The Artery Foundation and released their most dynamic single to date with "Limerence." The song quickly took the industry by storm, debuting on Sirius XM's Octane Test Drive, earning a spot in rotation, and on Kerrang Radio's Unleashed in the UK.
Fronted by John Dillon, with Garrett Lowery and Max Codoceo, CODE:WORDS write from uncomfortable places: Obsession. Shame. Control. Emotional exhaustion. Nothing is exaggerated. Nothing is softened. The music is meant to make you feel something raw, and it leaves you uneasy in the best way.

The band's sound was shaped alongside producer Hiram Hernandez (Blessthefall, Honey Revenge). The approach is deliberate. Clear, and concise with one objective; Give you everything until, you feel it all.
