Absolute Introspect is two brothers, Jeremy Fitzer and Brady Shelby, turning heartbreak, divorce, family separation, and mental health battles into modern alternative metal and dark alt-rock.

Both were born in Oklahoma and raised in northwest Florida, and now live split between Oklahoma and Florida. They write confession-based lyrics about isolation, inner war, self-destruction, guilt, and temptation, always circling back to the decision to stand up one more time. The songs pull from the emotional weight of Nothing More, I Prevail, Breaking Benjamin, Nine Inch Nails, Deftones, and Bad Omens, shifting between quiet, broken moments and big, shout-along hooks you feel in your chest.

With no traditional band behind them, they lean into AI as their studio toolkit, building full arrangements around the songs they write together. The result is dark, emotional heavy rock that feels like the soundtrack to someone fighting their demons alone in their room with the volume too loud.

Their debut album, Anatomy of Isolation (2025), captures the feeling of “I feel seen in the worst parts of myself, and it makes me believe I might still crawl out of this.” Start with “Why,” “Voice in the Mirror,” and “When the Lights Fade” and see if the late-night headspace feels familiar.
