AWAKE THE DREAMER give a Sneak Peek at the Next Album's Direction in New Single ‘Tides’

Swedish heavyweights Awake the Dreamer have just unleashed their latest single, Tides:

Tides offers an electrifying glimpse into their upcoming album, »Holocene«, dropping September 27 via Arising Empire.

'Tides' is a haunting blend of melodic intricacy and crushing riffs, wrapped in dynamic vocals that plunge into the depths of inner turmoil and emotional upheaval. This track not only sets the tone for the album but also spotlights the band’s evolution – merging raw post-hardcore intensity with melodic finesse, a testament to their refined sound.

Dropping at midnight on all major streaming platforms, 'Tides' is the perfect teaser for what’s to come on »Holocene«. The album promises to dive deeper into powerful themes, further solidifying Awake the Dreamer’s dominance in the metal scene with their innovative approach and storytelling prowess.

Formed in 2015 by a group of childhood and high school friends in Stockholm, Awake the Dreamer has been making waves with their unique take on melodic post-hardcore and metalcore. After the release of their EP "Grow" in 2016, they’ve taken their relentless sound across Europe and Asia, sharing stages with the likes of Ice Nine Kills, Northlane, Adept, and Crystal Lake.

In 2019, the band dropped their debut album "Damaged Souls" via Arising Empire, a 10-track banger featuring collaborations with heavy hitters like Robert Ljung of Adept on 'Vigilant' and Ryo Kinoshita of Crystal Lake on 'Atmosphere'. It was a massive statement – but »Holocene« is set to push the boundaries even further.

With »Holocene« set to drop September 27, Awake the Dreamer is gearing up to deliver their most intense, emotionally charged, and thematically rich record yet. This is the next chapter of their journey – and it’s about to leave a massive mark on the metal world.
