DISSOLVE Step Into the Shadows With “In The Dark”

Salt Lake City alternative metalcore collective DISSOLVE return with “In The Dark”, a slow-burning, shoegaze-leaning release that highlights the band’s softer, more atmospheric edge. While still rooted in their metalcore foundation, this track leans fully into mood, texture, and emotional weight — creating a haze-soaked soundscape where vulnerability becomes the driving force.

“In The Dark” trades high-octane aggression for swirling ambience, delicate melodies, and gently layered vocals that ebb and flow like distant echoes. The band’s embrace of shoegaze elements — washed-out guitars, drifting crescendos, and a deep sense of introspection — elevates the song into something dreamlike and immersive. It’s a track built on feeling rather than force, offering a different facet of DISSOLVE’s identity while maintaining their signature emotional intensity.

The official music video mirrors that mellow aura with dim lighting, soft hues, and a cinematic approach that feels more like a memory than a performance. The visuals let the song breathe — capturing the band in slow, expressive moments where each note seems suspended in air, fading in and out like a flickering thought. It’s intimate, atmospheric, and deeply personal.

With “In The Dark”, DISSOLVE show they can strike just as hard with subtlety as they can with heaviness. Dreamy, introspective, and beautifully restrained — this is the band exploring the quiet corners of their sound and proving that even in stillness, they resonate loudly.
