ASLEEP AT THE HELM Release Wilted Bloom on Year Of The Rat Record

Manchester’s modern metalcore force ASLEEP AT THE HELM have released their brand new single Wilted Bloom through Year Of The Rat Records (Esoterica, Save Us, Lastelle, RinRin). Blending melodic roots with the raw ferocity of the Australian scene, the five-piece deliver a sound that is as fierce as it is uncompromising. Already backed by Kerrang Radio, Music Choice, Spotify, Apple Music, and Pandora, the band are quickly rising as one of the UK’s most exciting heavy acts.

Wilted Bloom arrives fresh off ASLEEP AT THE HELM’s recent UK tour with Polar and serves as the fourth preview from their upcoming EP Ornate Resentment, set to drop on Halloween. The single captures their trademark energy with a crushing soundscape, relentless intensity, and a cathartic spirit that defines their evolution.

Speaking on the release, frontman Jimmy Dahmer shares: “Wilted Bloom is more than just a title — it’s the embodiment of everything this single, and the wider EP, stands for. It reflects breaking free from cracked foundations and rising into something raw, unapologetic, and unrestrained — a sound that’s carving its own place in the UK heavy scene. From the first crushing notes to its relentless ending, it cements a new chapter in the band’s journey, pushing further into the revolutionary sound we’ve been building.”

With Wilted Bloom and the imminent release of Ornate Resentment, ASLEEP AT THE HELM are defining themselves as a relentless creative force. Energetic, heavy, and unforgettable, their music and live shows alike are fast establishing the Mancunian five-piece as a cornerstone in the next wave of UK metalcore.
