Haste the Day Are "Adrift" — WATCH + LISTEN

HASTE THE DAY, the metalcore band that made a scene splash in the '00s, returned in 2024 with the new song "Burn" and an appearance at Furnace Fest. It was their first new music in nearly a decade.

But they didn't stop there. 

The band will release its new album DISSENTER on May 1 via Solid State Records. It's HTD's first album since 2015. Pre-order it here

Today, they drop the visualizer for the thick and moody slow jam "Adrift." Watch + listen Below

"'Adrift' is a pleading, atmospheric ballad that balances heavy guitars with subtle, layered intensity," the band offers. "The song unfolds slowly, revealing unexpected harmonies beneath its weight. Lyrically, it explores disconnection, exile, and the loss of home— capturing the erosion of identity that follows."

HTD also announced a run of tour dates set for May. They will also appear at Louder Than Life in Louisville, Kentucky in September. All upcoming performances are below.

Haste The Day conjure the sound of coming full circle. The Indiana-bred band rekindles the spark at the heart of their signature style by sharpening the edges, tightening the melodies, and amplifying the scope with cinematic ambition. Haste The Day have clung to their integrity since initially emerging at the turn of the century. Following Burning Bridges [2004] and When Everything Falls [2005], Stephen made his formal debut as the group's frontman on Pressure The Hinges [2007]. The band unleashed a trio of fan favorite offerings, namely Dreamer [2008], the seminal Attack Of The Wolf King [2010], and Coward [2015]. The latter marked their second straight Top 20 entry on the Billboard Top Rock Albums chart and second Top 10 on the Hard Rock Albums Chart. Along the way, they toured with everyone from Hollywood Undead to Norma Jean. Despite going dormant in 2016, they amassed tens of millions of streams and continued to resonate with an ever-expanding audience. As such, their 2023 reunion gig at the sold-out Furnace Fest was met with overwhelming enthusiasm. Returning with their first full-length release in eleven years, the musicians tap into who they were and push forward together on their seventh LP, Dissenter [Solid State].

HASTE THE DAY ARE:
Stephen Keech — Vocals 
Scott Whelan — Guitar 
Dave Krysl — Guitar 
Giuseppe Capolupo — Drums

GOD IS AN ASTRONAUT - New Album, Ghost Tapes #10, out Today! Order NOW! Watch New Official Video “Adrift”

“Ghost Tapes #10 is primarily up-tempo, capturing the energy of a live band playing together”

Reigning as one of the most well-known and highly critically acclaimed experimental instrumental groups out there with a respected musical legacy spanning nearly 20 years, Irish four-piece GOD IS AN ASTRONAUT reaches a career benchmark with the release of their 10th studio album, Ghost Tapes #10.

Album opener “Adrift” serves as a perfect introduction to Ghost Tapes #10. GOD IS AN ASTRONAUT is celebrating their album release by unveiling a moving music video for the track, capturing the listener with challenging time signatures, a punk-esque bass line and an organic, raw sound that will draw them under the spell of the new album. After hearing introductory “Adrift”, Ghost Tapes #10 becomes immediately unstoppable until its last note.

“Adrift” stands as a signature for the whole album, by unveiling many musical elements that can be found in multiple places throughout the whole album. The song was written in January 2020 and with the lack of touring ahead, opened up the possibility to experiment with pedals and amps, instead of using its digital equivalent. Movement is the overall theme, while raw guitar tones play a big part in the song.

Ghost Tapes #10 is certainly the most ferocious GOD IS AN ASTRONAUT full-length to date – it still retains all the rich musical and emotive elements the band is known for by wheeling around luminance, but offers harsh and deep reminiscences as well. Works of art like “Burial”, “In Flux” and “Barren Trees”, with additional guitars by Jimmy Scanlan, amongst others, are proof of these creations of sound. The album’s closer, the atmospheric “Luminous Waves”, captivates in a trance-like mindset – putting one deeply in touch with their inner self, drifting away to stirring tunes of guest cello virtuoso Jo Quail.

The artwork was illustrated by David Rooney, who has worked with the band in the past, and plays into the sense of the foreboding and uncertain times we live in. Ghost Tapes #10 is available as a four-page digipack as well as in multiple limited LP options.

Ghost Tapes #10 is available in the following formats:
