“We’re beyond excited to release our upcoming single Equilibrium—a track that captures the chaos and emotion at a time when the band was exposed to attack. It’s raw, relentless, and personal. Signing with Year of the Rat Records feels like the perfect alignment; their vision matches our hunger. This is just the beginning of a new chapter, and we’re ready to push everything further. Equilibrium is the sound of us finding level ground through the noise.”
Novacaine Rating: 10/10
"Asleep At The Helm have been on our radar since the release of Tarnished in 2024, and they're one of the top acts we’re hoping to book for next year—though nothing’s locked in yet. Their sound is tight, relentless, and tailor-made for mayhem—whether you’re in the pit or tearing up your living room. Tracks like Equilibrium hit so hard, it’s almost dangerous."
