While She Sleeps have revealed their new single “Silence Speaks”, which is the latest killer cut to be taken from their forthcoming third album You Are We, set for release 21st April via UNFD. Modern metal at its finest and most explosive, the track, which got its first play on radio as Mistajam’s Hottest Record on BBC Radio 1, features Oli Sykes of Bring Me The Horizon on guest vocals. It’s another reminder that While She Sleeps are one of the UK’s most exciting heavy bands and serves as a tantalising taster of what’s to come as they gear up to release the new album.
While She Sleeps were putting the finishing touches to You Are We throughout recent months, during which they were also touring with Bring Me The Horizon in no less than three different continents, including Australia earlier this month. This creative collaboration followed with Oli recording additional vocals for “Silence Speaks”, adding a further fervent facet to the composition.
While She Sleeps have already revealed three cuts from ‘You Are We’, in the form of the anthemic “Hurricane“, the album’s title track and the visceral social commentary of “Civil Isolation“.
Made with Carl Bown, who also produced their previous album Brainwashed, the songs that comprise You Are We are full of as much force, focus and determination as ever. This new and vital body of work will continue the band’s trajectory as one of the most inspiring, riotous and important voices in British music today, demonstrating both their continued musical evolution and their incisive social conscience. Yet while these are brutal anthems that paint a vivid picture of a post-Brexit Britain, they stand as both the most universal and most personal songs of the band’s career.
Preorders are available at 24Hundred.
