While She Sleeps have confirmed March 15th as the release date for their sixth studio album “Self Hell“. The British metalcore outfit have also shared the title track to the effort as its first official single.
An official press release outlines the band broadening their sound on this new opus, drawing from influences such as Aphex Twin, Gorillaz and Kendrick Lamar, along with vintage synths. Guitarist/vocalist Sean 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.
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.”
Recording sessions for the album were produced by both Long and Carl Brown. Pre-orders for the album are available through here.
