Healing Through Chaos: The Quarantined Deliver Raw Emotion on Aversion to Normalcy
With a powerful sound that blends acoustic guitars, deep bass lines, and driving drums with hard rock guitars, The Quarantined deliver a big, commanding sound full of energy and emotion. Their music carries a soulful heart beneath its epic rock edge, striking the perfect balance between grit and grace.
Nashville, TN – The Quarantined have unveiled their highly anticipated album Aversion to Normalcy, a bold and cathartic exploration of trauma, resilience, and the illusion of what society calls “normal.”
The band’s emotional storytelling has clearly struck a chord with fans worldwide, driving viral success and expanding their global audience. The Quarantined have surpassed 10 million views on TikTok, with one standout video alone reaching over a million views. Their content has sparked deep discussions about trauma, forgiveness, and the healing process. On Spotify, they’ve racked up hundreds of thousands of streams, solidifying their sound as a powerful mix of grunge energy and modern rock emotion.
Frontman Sean Martin channels his experiences as an Iraq War veteran and his personal journey into the album’s core themes of trauma, redemption, and self-discovery. The record captures raw human emotion and moral complexity, exploring the transformation that comes from breaking down and rebuilding.
Songs like “Skeleton Chair,” “Shadow (On My Back),” and “Nemesis (Friend of Mine)” each reflect different stages of that emotional journey—from falling in love with chaos to battling inner darkness and ultimately finding forgiveness and freedom. Together, they form a cohesive and deeply personal story that mirrors the turbulence of modern life and the strength it takes to endure it.
Aversion to Normalcy was recorded at the legendary Blackbird Studios in Nashville, a space known for shaping some of rock’s greatest works. The album was engineered and produced by Nathan Yarborough (Alice in Chains, Korn, Halestorm, Evanescence) and features Jerry Roe on drums, Luis Espalliat on bass, and Zack Rapp (Dream Theater) on lead guitar and violin, alongside Martin’s vocals and guitar. The result is a record that fuses precision with raw feeling, weaving haunting lyrics into powerful, dynamic arrangements.
With Aversion to Normalcy, The Quarantined redefine modern protest music—not through slogans or anger, but through authenticity and truth. The album challenges listeners to confront their inner struggles, face what’s broken, and find strength in the process of survival.
The album will be released on November 12, 2025, across all major streaming platforms.
