Dream Awake - The Weathering (feat. Wes Thompson of Napoleon)
Thursday 11th May, 2017
They say: “The Weathering is a song that displays our dynamic brand of melodic metalcore. We have always aspired to create a sound that the listener could feel and collaborate that with the heavy and technical qualities that the genre brings.
The lyrics discuss how life is a storm we have to weather and how the things that bring us down should never make us give up. The feature of Wes Thompson (Napoleon) and choir towards the end of the track epitomise its emotion with the delivery of the vocals.
In it’s entirety The Weathering is a huge step up for us in regards to sound and production and it embodies our direction as band.”
We say: "Imaginative stuff. The billowing expanse of classical and even classic prog, allied to low-slung vocals, crunching guitar lines and yearning lyrics about escape and transcendence. We have lift-off."
'The Weathering' is the first track from Dream Awake's forthcoming EP, 'Don't Hold Your Breath'.
