With just 10 days to go until their massive headline date at Alexandra Palace
(with support from Bury Tomorrow and Polaris), While She Sleeps are giving fans new music to
sing along to in London on September 23.
The band have just returned with SELF HELL, which is the lead
single and title-track from their upcoming sixth studio album (due out in full
on March 15, 2024).
As guitarist Sean Long explains: “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 demonise, 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,” he continues. “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.”
