She followed that up with “Fading Into Silence” earlier this year. “Lust” explores passion at its most dangerous and intoxicating. The song captures all-consuming desire, the kind that thrives despite the risk of burning out. Sophia Mengrosso has been vocal about using honesty in her process, examining her experiences and struggles as inspiration for her lyrics rather than seeing them as limitations.

Musically, the song has an epic melodic motif that is repeated across different instrumentation combinations like a character theme in a movie or play. The dramatic theater-like presentation courses through the veins of every element of this song, especially the vocal delivery. It has the sensibilities of symphonic metal but is a bit softer around the edges.

Sophia Mengrosso has carved out space where opera training and metal intensity meet without one undermining the other. “Lust” shows she’s not backing away from the heavier side of her sound while keeping the vocal sophistication that sets her apart. She’s planning to collaborate with like-minded artists and continue building a discography around strength and perseverance. For someone using music to process pain and create space for empowerment, “Lust” fits that mission without being heavy-handed about it.

The album starts off with the brooding track ‘See You at the Bottom’ with some powerful guitar riffs. However, the album is far from dark; with poppy songs like ‘Same Damn Life’ you can be certain that the album will not leave you jaded.

The album’s first single ‘Words as Weapon’ has a hypnotizing drum line and a good message to boot.

Morgan also showed some really appealing vocals on various tracks like on the song ‘Nobody Praying for Me’ which starts off with him singing in very low tones.
In a nutshell Isolate and Medicate is an album with a fresher sound to the band that will appeal to old and new fans alike. Seether proved that they can still find new and interesting ways to make music.
