Drown With Me Brings Jake Loves Space and IAMONE Together a Year After the Brno Band's Comeback Single
A 3:32 Atmospheric Metalcore Single on Depression and Intrusive Thoughts, with a Guest From IAMONE
Jake Loves Space released Drown With Me on 29 September 2026, a 3:32 metalcore single made with IAMONE, the Czech alternative band whose Jakub Chmielewski takes a guest turn. It is for listeners who want heavy, low-tuned guitars and screamed sections set against clean, melodic choruses. It also arrives a year after the Brno band came back from a four-year break, and it already leads their Spotify page.
Jake Loves Space are in the playlist below, and the band’s full run of coverage sits on Jake Loves Space’s artist profile. Drown With Me came to this desk through PopHits.Co Music Charts, which verifies independent artists and places their releases across its network of music news titles. Press play, then keep reading.
The story starts in Brno in November 2015, when singer Petr Jelínek and guitarist Jakub Švehla formed the band and brought in two of Jelínek’s school friends. The first era was ironic electronic metalcore, and the early singles had a sense of humour built in: Again, Partycore Girlfriend and The Jake Paul Song, which passed 300,000 views on YouTube. A seven-track debut release, Space Party, followed in October 2017.
The singles kept coming after that. Ladies arrived in 2019, and 2021 brought No More, Earthquake and Demons. Earthquake reached Spotify’s own New Metal Tracks playlist, the biggest platform the band had found so far.
Then, at the end of 2021, the band called it a day, citing work and family commitments.
Drown With Me Shows the Reformed Jake Loves Space Writing as a Four-Piece, With an IAMONE Guest
The reunion came in 2025. Jelínek, Jakub Man and Dominik Antonín Kuře came back, and a new drummer, Jiří Rotschein, joined them. Forget Your Name was the comeback single, released on 5 September 2025. The restart also changed the sound, away from the old irony and towards modern metalcore with nu-metal and dark pop mixed in.
Drown With Me shows how the four of them work. All four members share the writing and composing credits: Petr Jelínek, Jakub Man, Dominik Antonín Kuře and Jiří Rotschein. Jelínek also sings lead and handles the studio production and the mix. Man plays electric guitar and delivers the screamed sections, Kuře plays bass and Rotschein covers drums and percussion. The single is self-released, with the copyright held by the band.
The subject is heavy. The song deals with depression and intrusive thoughts, and with the way they can dress up self-destruction as comfort. Its narrator is caught in self-blame and regret, while the voices in his head insist that nothing he does is ever enough. By the end, a wish to make sense of life turns into a quiet invitation to give up and step into the dark.
The music follows that pull. It opens on spacey, drifting textures before the heavy chugs, the low-tuned guitars and the tight drums take over. Jelínek’s clean choruses sit against Man’s raw screams. Jakub Chmielewski of IAMONE then joins in the second verse and chorus, moving between soft clean lines and harsh ones, before the song settles into a darker close.
What Comes Next for Jake Loves Space After Five Releases in Eight Months and Two Guest Collaborations
The pace since the reunion says a lot. In 2026 alone, the band released Supernova in January and a four-track Supernova (Deluxe) in February. Coming Home, made with Etterna, followed in March, then Destiny in June and Drown With Me in September. That is five releases in eight months, roughly one every two months.
The numbers are moving too. On Spotify, Drown With Me passed 10,000 plays within a month and now sits at the top of the band’s own page, ahead of Coming Home and Destiny. The band also counts more than 6,500 monthly listeners there. They have pinned the single as the artist pick, too. On Instagram, the story highlights run through every release since the comeback.
The band’s own list of reference points makes the lineage clear. Bad Omens, from Richmond, Virginia, formed in 2015 like Jake Loves Space and moved from metalcore towards dark pop and electronic sounds; Just Pretend, from their 2022 album The Death of Peace of Mind, went platinum in the US. Bring Me the Horizon, from Sheffield, folded electronica and pop into metalcore and reached number one in the UK with Amo in 2019. Jake Loves Space take the darker side of that blend.
From the MusicDrops.News Curator Team: “What stands out to us is the guest list. Etterna in March, IAMONE now: the reformed band is building its second life alongside other bands.”
