Exist Immortal state: “We are excited to present our new song, ‘Dreamscape,’ to the world. It is about escapism into a simulated/enhanced world, contrasting reality with a digital realm as a metaphor for seeking inner peace and creative freedom. There’s also a struggle to find tranquility in a chaotic world and the power of imagination in overcoming personal conflicts.
"We always wanted to make a cool video for a new song while we were in Japan, but once this song came about we realised it was the perfect candidate. It’s a super upbeat and energetic song and it perfectly mirrored the energy everyone was bringing while we were on that trip. On top of that, it was kinda like a dream in itself - going away with a bunch of your friends to play amazing shows with legends like Cynic is something a past version of us would barely believe was actually happening!
"This is the second of a whole bunch of new singles we are going to be running full campaigns for this year and so far we’re stoked on the way this release format is working out. Every single song gets the full attention it deserves and we are super confident in all of them.
"To us, this song is a great representation of how it feels when you’re literally living the dream and doing things together that we are really proud of. Its got energy, its got heaps of nice melodies, its got super heavy parts and most importantly its a little bit of everything we love. It was also a really cool opportunity to emulate some of the more upbeat and catchy elements that we love about other music whilst still bringing the super low and heavy sections that seem to be coming out whenever we write together. We hope you enjoy it."
Exist Immortal have announecd the following shows, with support from label mates My Favourite Nemesis:
May 23: The Hairy Dog, Derby
May 24: Fighting Cocks, Kingston
'Dreamscape' follows previous single 'Play Pretend'.
Hailing from the Southeast of England, Exist Immortal combine metalcore and technical metal with pop influences and have spent the last few years touring across the world developing their sound, growing their fanbase and leaving a lasting impact on audiences that witness the powerful live show.
The band have played festivals such as Metaldays (SLOV), Euroblast (GER), Maximum Rock (ROM), Complexity Fest (NL) and have toured with high profile acts such as Sikth, Textures, Landmvrks and Cynic. EXIM have also headlined the main stage at UK Tech Fest (2022), and in 2023 completed sold out tours in Mexico and most recently Japan, ending what has been a whirlwind year of highlights, cementing the band as one of the hottest acts in the progressive metal/metalcore scene.
Following on from their self-titled album (November 2022 via Seek & Strike) which received universal acclaim from the music press and fans alike, and projecting the band to new levels, EXIM are excited to present their latest offering 'Play Pretend' to the world, beginning a new era for the band.
