While She Sleeps have announced their sixth studio album.
The British band will release 'Self Hell' on March 15, following up 2021's 'Sleeps Society'. Produced by longterm collaborator Carl Bown and guitarist Sean Long, it was recorded during sessions at Metropolis Studios in London, Treehouse Studio in Chesterfield, and their own Six Audio in Sheffield. Long commented:
"The name of the album is the foundation of how we view ourselves and the world. Everyone has a subjective experience like no other. Yet the constant that binds us IS the differences between us and the fact that we are all suffering in our own way. Don’t be too quick to judge and demonize, your time will come for redemption or damnification."
As a taster of what's to come, they've dropped the first single and title track, which couples clean vocals and throat-shredding screams with massive riffs, drum grooves and synths. It finds the group expanding their metalcore sound to include a more diverse range of influences from the likes of Aphex Twin, Gorillaz, Bicep, The Prodigy and Kendrick Lamar. Long added:
"We’ve been drawing inspiration from an array of misfit artists far from where you would usually pigeonhole While She Sleeps. Each member has brought in a different perspective of inspiration so far apart in genre that it has left us with a very odd and satisfying sonic.
"While She Sleeps will continue to keep the world guessing on what we will do next. Not only for the fans but this is a spiritual venture that we have to keep alive, moving, and constantly in flux. We do this by scaring ourselves with things we are not supposed to do. Every. Single. Day."
News of the record arrives ahead of the band's huge show at London's Alexandra Palace on September 23. Tickets are on sale now.
