ASLEEP AT THE HELM Erupt With Ferocity On New EP ‘Ornate Resentment’ And Unleash Video For ‘Bloodline’

Manchester’s own ASLEEP AT THE HELM have returned with Ornate Resentment, their brand-new EP released on Halloween via Year Of The Rat Records (Esoterica, Save Us, Lastelle, RinRin). A culmination of pure aggression and emotional depth, the record finds the five-piece modern metalcore act pushing their sound to its most intense and unrelenting form yet. Blending the melodic roots of their early work with the raw, unfiltered energy of the Australian heavy scene, Ornate Resentment stands as a powerful statement of identity and evolution.

Built on a foundation of razor-sharp riffs and haunting atmosphere, ASLEEP AT THE HELM channel fury and introspection in equal measure. Their music is energetic, fierce, and unapologetically authentic — a sound that has earned them regular support from Kerrang! Radio, Music Choice, Spotify, Apple Music, and Pandora. Following a successful UK tour alongside Polar, the band continue to prove themselves as one of the most dynamic forces emerging from the UK metalcore underground.

To mark the release, ASLEEP AT THE HELM have dropped a music video for Bloodline, the EP’s visceral closing track. Released through Year Of The Rat Records, the single captures the band at their most unhinged — every riff dripping with contempt, every lyric sharpened with bitterness and rage. It’s a brutal, unflinching portrayal of betrayal and decay, brought to life through striking visuals and feral performance energy.

With Ornate Resentment, ASLEEP AT THE HELM have carved their name deep into the foundations of modern metalcore. It’s raw, cathartic, and devastatingly precise — proof that the Manchester five-piece are no longer rising stars but a full-blown reckoning within the UK heavy scene.
