Since Sucideboys turned sober… did they lose their rawness? Hardly — they actually got sharper. They continue to grow and are now bigger and better than ever. Their sound didn’t soften; it matured. It broadened, got more soulful and playful. That’s what happens when you go beyond global and start seeing life with clarity instead of chaos.

I actually got sober around the same time Scrim did, seven years ago. Two years in, I found out. Seeing him make that change made me think, if he can stay sober, so can I. So a part of his recovery is something I genuinely relate to. I’ve also had multiple psychosis episodes, just like he did and Im only one year older.

Artists are always afraid of losing their edge when they go sober. So here’s a perfect example of when the opposite occurs.

They didn’t lose their rawness.
They lost the self‑destruction. Those are not the same thing.
