While She Sleeps Announce ‘Self Hell’ And Share Titular Track

---

With their biggest ever headline show at Alexandra Palace mere weeks away, Sheffield quintet, While She Sleeps have shared their brand new single ‘Self Hell’, the title track to their long awaited sixth studio album. Check it out below!

Describing the new album as “a second debut album from a band”, the new album is set to draw upon a wider palette of influences to create a sonic collage of each member’s musical passions – with the new era seeing the band draw upon a more diverse range of influences such as Aphex Twin, Gorillaz, Bicep, The Prodigy and Kendrick Lamar.

The new uncompromisingly unpredictable incarnation of While She Sleeps, will see those influences allowing the band to explore a broader range of instruments incorporated on ‘SELF HELL’, especially with vintage synths such as the Korg MS-20 and the Behringer TD-3.

“We’ve been drawing inspiration from an array of misfit artists far from where you would usually pigeonhole While She Sleeps.” Guitarist Sean Long says talking about ‘SELF HELL’, “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.”

The new single ‘SELF HELL’ demonstrates this sonic leap-forward; Huge riffs combine with thumping big beat grooves and a maelstrom of synth textures, whilst melodic vocals contrast with bloody-throated screams and swirling backing harmonies. Check Out ‘SELF HELL’ here:

The album, which is set for release on March 15th 2024, was produced by their long-term collaborator Carl Bown and the band’s guitarist, Sean Long. Recording for the album took place during sessions at Metropolis Studios in London, Treehouse Studio in Chesterfield, and their own Six Audio in Sheffield.

“The name of the album is the foundation of how we view ourselves and the world.” Sean Long states, “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 demonise, your time will come for redemption or damnification.”

Since their 2012 debut with ‘This Is The Six’, While She Sleeps albums have gone from strength-to-strength, including a Top 10 breakthrough with ‘You Are We’ as well as widespread critical acclaim for their most recent album, ‘Sleeps Society’, which included guest appearances from members of Biffy Clyro, Sum 41, and Enter Shikari.

Under 500 tickets remain available here for While She Sleeps’ Alexandra Palace show. They will then play select shows around Europe before hitting China, Japan, Taiwan and Thailand in December.
