Riser House Rock's grunge rock band, Scarhaven, releases their single, "Drowned," a slow-burning ballad that captures the weight of abandonment and emotional isolation. Driven by nostalgia-fueled guitar riffs and a haunting, deliberate build, the track delivers a cathartic punch that begs to be belted at full volume.
"Drowned is grief, longing, and unanswered questions wrapped in a slow, moody build of arpeggiated guitars echoing like footsteps in a dark castle, while the chorus swells and the loneliness grows impossible to ignore," Shares Scarhaven.
Written by Scarhaven membersMichael Saint and Jared Edson, "Drowned" unfolds from haunting arpeggios into a towering, emotional chorus in which solitude finally breaks the surface. The song's brooding verses give way to thunderous guitars and dynamic vocals, blending raw intensity with modern edge.
Originally from Washington, DC, and now based in New York City, the four-piece band channels the spirit of '90s grunge while carving out a bold identity of their own. With distorted riffs, emotionally exposed lyricism, and vocals that snarl and soar, Scarhaven nods to the grit of classic grunge while pushing the genre forward for a new generation.
With more than 600,000 streams across platforms and praise from outlets including Rock At Night and antiMusic, the band continues to surge forward in the rock revival space. Live, Scarhaven is a collision of fury and fragile quiet, chaos meeting control, delivering performances that are loud, unapologetic, and impossible to ignore.

"Drowned" stands as a powerful testament to Scarhaven's modern grunge resurgence: emotionally gripping, sonically massive, and fueled by the kind of guitar-driven nostalgia that never goes out of style.
