French Metalcore quartet Resolve have released their brand-new single Sandman – the second new song taken from their forthcoming Human (Extended Cut) due for release on October 25 via Arising Empire.
Following Resolve’s recent earth shaking single Molotov which opened up their extended cut cycle in relentless fashion, Sandman showcases both Resolve’s haunting nature with its heavy and oppressive intro as well as their trademark emotive characters, running throughout its infectious chorus.
“Some months ago, Anthony (Resolve’s lead singer and songwriter) went through an episode of sleep paralysis. If you’re lucky enough to have never experienced it, imagine waking up in the dead of night with a terrifying figure looking over you, and being unable to move or ask for help”, mentions Resolve bassist, Robin Mariat. “The next day, Anthony came up with the demo for Sandman – originally named Sleep Paralysis. That probably explains the nightmarish vibe of the track. The choruses though, are epic and hopeful, a reminder that even in the darkest moments of our lives, there will always be something or someone to lift us up and bring us back into the light.”
