Manchester-based tech-metalcore group Asleep At The Helm have shared a hefty brand new single, titled "Tarnished", alongside a blood-soaked official music video directed by Kieran Gallop (GLKMedia).
Speaking on the new single, the band states "Tarnished explores the end of friendships and relationships damaged by ignorance, arrogance, narcissism, and abuse, and the inevitable pain that follows. The song represents a journey of growth, rebirth, and renewed passion for overcoming adversity, as well as the struggle to save something broken beyond repair."
They continue, "It reconnects with the core values Asleep at the Helm has always stood for, marking a new era for the band. Join us."
With a biting and dynamic contrast of soaring melodicism and rampant brutality, Asleep At The Helm's boundary-pushing take on nu-metal and tech-inspired metalcore is exemplified in full force on "Tarnished", showcasing their utmost strengths as a unit.
