'Violence' delves into themes of internal struggle and emotional turmoil, portraying a narrative of being ensnared by another's anger and the silent battles that follow. Musically, 'Violence' blends haunting melodies with powerful riffs and dynamic vocals, reflecting the intensity of the emotions described. The track underscores the impact of unspoken anger and the relentless pressure it creates, showcasing the band's ability to merge melodic elements with raw post-hardcore energy.

Formed through childhood and high school friendships in 2015, Stockholm-based quartet Awake The Dreamer released their Grow EP the following year, leading to tours in Europe and Asia alongside bands including Ice Nine Kills, Northlane, Adept and Crystal Lake.

In 2019, Awake The Dreamer released their debut album Damaged Souls via Arising Empire. The 10-track release featured guest appearances from Adept's Robert Ljung ('Vigilant') and Crystal Lake's Ryo Kinoshita in ('Atmosphere').

Bassist/vocalist Benjamin Turesson adds:

"Being a small band that didn't even have an album out by the time we had toured Europe and Asia finally caught up to us, then the pandemic hit. Like that wasn't enough, unfortunately we had former members leave the band, so it became natural for us to just start from scratch in order to redevelop a new sound. A sound which we are really happy and proud of. It feels great to start releasing music again and we are really excited to be back."

Max Andrén | Vocals
