Manchester’s own modern metalcore force ASLEEP AT THE HELM return with Photosynthetic, their most emotionally charged and sonically punishing track to date. Released today via Year Of The Rat Records, the single marks a bold new chapter for the rising five-piece — fresh off a nationwide UK tour with Polar and riding the momentum of growing industry recognition.
Rooted in melody and driven by the raw intensity of the Australian metalcore wave, ASLEEP AT THE HELM’s sound is fierce, technical, and uncompromising. Photosynthetic exemplifies this hybrid energy — merging searing riffs, thunderous breakdowns, and soaring vocals into a track that’s both punishing and poignant.
Frontman Jimmy Dahmer explains: “‘Photosynthetic’ is what it sounds like to live in darkness. It’s about being choked by the past, fed lies instead of light — and finding the strength to rise anyway. From the rot, something still grows.”
With past support from Kerrang Radio, Music Choice, and Spotify, ASLEEP AT THE HELM are quickly becoming a name to watch across the UK and beyond. Alongside the single, the band have announced their upcoming EP Ornate Resentment — set to drop on Halloween — promising an even deeper dive into their evolving and explosive sound.
Photosynthetic is out August 8th. Turn it up, let it in — and grow through the darkness.
