Texas metal titans LOCKJAW are set to ignite 2025 once again with their explosive new single, "The Monster Inside", out now across all major streaming platforms-complete with a powerful new music video. The single marks a fierce continuation of their musical onslaught, delivering intense emotion, unrelenting riffs, and a raw message for the broken and battered.

But that's not all-the band kicks off "The Monster Inside Texas Tour" starting April 11 in San Antonio, with support from OVERT ENEMY (McAllen, TX) on select dates.

A New Metal Anthem for the Broken

With "The Monster Inside", LOCKJAW delivers more than just a song-it's an anthem for anyone who has ever felt their inner rage clawing to break free. Equal parts cathartic and chaotic, it stands as a testament to the band's uncompromising sound and emotional vulnerability.

"If you're a fan of crushing breakdowns, anthemic choruses, and emotionally charged metal, "The Monster Inside" deserves a place in your heavy rotation."

Guitarist Jeff Ogle shares:

"We are really proud of this one. It was kind of an accidental riff and idea, but sometimes those are the best ones. I wanted to branch out a little, so I worked with Chris Mora (UPON A BURNING BODY, KIM DRACULA), mainly on arrangements. Once we had a version we liked, I handed it off to our producer Chris Collier (KORN, VENDED), who added a few more contributions to make it what it is today.

The lyrics are heavy-our singer Joe had the idea of writing about a character reaching that boiling point in life and letting his inner rage come out. It's almost like a warning: now you've pushed me to the limit and you're gonna get what you asked for. FAFO! Hope everyone digs the song, and thanks for listening!"
