Return to Dust has taken the TikTok world by storm with their brand of grunge metal and now face the challenges of the real world.
The band’s sound, reminiscent of Stone Temple Pilots at their ‘90s height, has contributed to a successful festival billing alongside Slipknot, Judas Priest, and Pantera.
The band has been creating music for almost five years, evolving over time, and solidifying their lineup. Guitarist Matt Joseph explains, “Sebastian didn’t join until two years ago and although he was only 15 at the time, we knew he was a perfect fit for the band.”
Gonzalez, the youngest member at 17, brings something fresh to the band. He says, “I had just turned 16 when I joined. The band surprised me by wanting me to be part of their group, but I was thrilled.”
When asked about their influences, Gonzalez says, “I take influence from Ozzy, Metallica, Megadeth, and our vibe blends heavy metal and alt-rock.”
Joseph agrees, “We are seeing success on social media as it offers a great platform for guitar music nowadays. Our following is growing and it shows what we’re doing is catching people’s attention.”
Despite their success, Joseph and Gonzalez remain grounded, “It’s been wild,” Joseph says. “But we’re still the same people.”
“We’re trying to remember that you don’t need expensive stuff to make great music,” Joseph added.
