Who They Fear

Who They Fear is four piece modern metalcore band hailing from Maryland. The band is comprised of vocalist Michael Dunn, bassist Nick Springer, guitarist Connor Loughran and Drummer Austin Costello.

The band released two mostly DIY singles in early 2023, Parasite and Sleepless. Then in late 2023, they paired up with producers Grant McFarland and Carson Slovak (August Burns Red, ERRA, Polaris) to release their previous album Sovereign. Recently in 2025 the band released a brand new single called “Backstabber” that reinvents their band and pushes their sound into a new era of music. Their sound features heavy instrumentals, aggressive harsh vocals, catchy clean vocals, and synth atmospheres to create a sonic blend that provides an unrelenting yet tranquil listening experience.

During 2023 & 2024, Who They Fear joined many familiar names on stage throughout the mid-Atlantic United States. Among them: A Skylit Drive, Famous Last Words, Crown The Empire, Archers, Gideon, Outline in Color, Veil Of Maya, If Not For Me, Eyes Set To Kill, Until I wake, and many more National Acts.
