Asleep At The Helm release Wilted Bloom on Year Of The Rat Records

Asleep At The Helm are a five-piece modern metalcore band from Manchester, UK. Born in melodic roots and now fused with the raw intensity of the Australian scene, their sound is energetic, fierce and uncompromising. They’ve already earned regular support from Kerrang Radio, Music Choice, Spotify, Apple Music and Pandora and are resonating nationwide with unforgettable, high-octane live performances. The band have now signed with Year Of The Rat Records (Esoterica, Save Us, Lastelle, RinRin) and release single ‘Wilted Bloom’ on the 26th September 2025 having just toured the UK with Polar. The band will release their EP ‘Ornate Resentment’ on Halloween. 

Jimmy Dahmer - “Wilted Bloom” is more than just a title—it’s the embodiment of everything this single, and the wider EP, stands for. It reflects breaking free from cracked foundations and rising into something raw, unapologetic, and unrestrained—a sound that’s carving its own place in the UK heavy scene. From the first crushing notes to its relentless ending, ‘Wilted Bloom’ captures the evolution of Asleep at the Helm: heavy, defiant, and unafraid to redefine itself. As the fourth release from the upcoming EP, it cements a new chapter in the band’s journey, pushing further into the revolutionary sound we’ve been building.”
