While She Sleeps Share Emotional New Single “To The Flowers”

British metal crew While She Sleeps have confirmed the March 29th release of their new album Self Hell. As showcased with visceral intent on the recent singles, the title track (check that out here) and “Down” (featuring Alex Taylor of Malevolence), the band’s ambitious approach is simple – make everything bigger and more unpredictable than ever before.

Continuing towards the release date, the band have now shared their new single, the emotive “To The Flowers”. The single sees the band continuing with their ethos opening with spoken words from the philosopher and spiritual leader Jiddu Krishnamurti, again heightening expectations for the boundary-breaking scope of the Self Hell album.

Guitarist Sean Long says,

“This song means a lot to us. As much as we love a good breakdown and heavy riff, a lot of our passion lies within emotive musical pieces. This song has nearly brought us all to tears multiple times simply because it touches something in us that we hold very dear. A pain we all know and have felt down to our deepest core. The essence of our personal pain expressed in music is what the band is all about. Talking about the things we know are difficult but necessary.”

The accompanying short film for “To The Flowers” – created and then shot by the band – more than matches the intensity of the song, playing out with kitchen sink realism and the cinematic atmospherics of an indie film. Check out the video here:

Vocalist Loz Taylor adds,

“‘To the Flowers’ is emotional, tragic and real life. We intended to make a short film that encompasses the real emotions of relationships, grief, love, death and pain. Shot by the members of While She Sleeps, ‘To the Flowers’ ebbs and flows through an entendre of tragedy. This was a huge project to undertake, and we have poured our creative energy into directing this piece. We had a wicked time working on the film. This will hit home.”

While She Sleeps release Self Hell on March 29th, 2024 and you can pre-order your copy here.
