While She Sleeps, the Sheffield quintet, stands out from the crowd by defying expectations and pushing boundaries in the music industry. Their unique blend of crushing metal, guttural hardcore, and infectious hooks has garnered them critical acclaim and a loyal fan base over their remarkable 13-year career. In 2017, their self-belief and determination culminated in the release of ‘You Are We,’ a crowdfunded album that not only received award nominations and chart success but also showcased their independent spirit and resilience.
Following the success of ‘You Are We,’ While She Sleeps embarked on a new journey with the creation of their 4th album ‘SO WHAT?’ The band retreated to their self-built Sleeps Audio complex, immersing themselves in a five-month recording process that birthed an album produced by Carl Bown. ‘SO WHAT?’ promises to be a bold evolution for the band, blending elements of punk and heavy metal into a sound that is fresh and unprecedented. Collaborating with metal powerhouse Spinefarm on its release signifies a significant milestone for the band, emphasizing their commitment to artistic integrity and growth in the music industry.
As While She Sleeps prepares for the launch of ‘SO WHAT?’ in 2019, they remain steadfast in their dedication to their unique sound and message. With a renewed sense of purpose and a larger platform to share their music, the band is poised to make a lasting impact in the world of modern metal music. Having redefined the genre for over a decade, While She Sleeps continues to push boundaries and set new standards, proving that their journey is far from over and that the best is yet to come.
