Stockholm's own Awake The Dreamer, known for their dynamic blend of Melodic Post-Hardcore and Metalcore, is set to release their eagerly anticipated new album, Holocene, on September 27th. Since their formation in 2015, the band has become a mainstay in the metal scene, building on their robust foundation of friendships from childhood and high school. Their initial breakthrough came with the 2016 EP Grow, which catapulted them onto stages across Europe and Asia, alongside renowned acts like Ice Nine Kills and Northlane. The group made a significant impact with their 2019 debut album Damaged Souls, which was celebrated for its intricate melodies and intense metalcore energy. This project included standout collaborations with industry heavyweights such as Robert Ljung of Adept and Ryo Kinoshita of Crystal Lake, enhancing its appeal and depth. Navigating the complexities of international tours, lineup changes, and the global pandemic, Awake The Dreamer has demonstrated remarkable resilience and adaptability. These experiences have not only strengthened them but have also inspired a creative resurgence. With Holocene, they are ready to unveil a refined and authentic sound that marks a bold new era. This album promises to captivate both long-time followers and new listeners, reaffirming the band's passion and innovation in the metalcore genre.
