Prethos

Formed in October 2025 in Pittsburgh, Prethos is a four-piece alternative metal band made up of Benjamin Carver (rhythm guitar/vocals), Dennis Rastoder (lead guitar), Eric Dean (bass), and Jonathan Frisina (drums).

Taking influence from Deftones, Hum, and other alternative metal bands from the ‘90s and early 2000s, Prethos combines heavy riffs, atmospheric guitars, and melodic vocals into a sound that’s both aggressive and emotional.

What started as a group of friends with a shared love for loud and heavy music quickly turned into a serious project. Drawing from the sounds that inspired them, Prethos focuses on writing songs that hit hard while still leaving room for melody, texture, and feeling.

Based out of Pittsburgh, the band is currently writing and performing original music while continuing to develop its sound.
