STILL STAYER Step Into The Darkness With “Dogma”

Milwaukee, Wisconsin-based metalcore outfit STILL STAYER are back with “Dogma,” a new single accompanied by an official music video that further captures the emotional weight at the heart of their sound. The band describe their music as a collision of melancholy, heartfelt emotion, and heaviness, creating songs designed to make listeners feel something along their own individual journeys. “Dogma” continues that approach, combining the intensity expected from modern metalcore with the melodic and emotionally driven character that has become central to STILL STAYER’s identity.

STILL STAYER have been developing their sound from Milwaukee’s heavy music scene since the release of their debut album All Heart in 2023. That record established the band’s blend of metalcore, melodic metalcore, progressive metal, and djent, while maintaining an emphasis on emotional songwriting and weighty instrumentation. All Heart was released on November 24, 2023, with the band handling the songwriting and Christopher Davis recording and mixing the material.

With “Dogma,” the band continue building on that foundation rather than stepping away from the contrast that defines their music. Heavy passages and melodic elements remain closely connected, allowing STILL STAYER to move between aggression and atmosphere while keeping the emotional core intact. The new single adds another piece to a growing catalogue that reflects the band's desire to create music that connects on a personal level.

“Dogma” marks another step forward for STILL STAYER as they continue carving their own path through Milwaukee’s modern heavy scene. All heart, no brakes — the Stayer journey continues.
