Invent Animate announce new EP ‘The Sun Sleeps, As If It Never Was’

INVENT ANIMATE have announced a new EP!

Titled The Sun Sleeps, As If It Never Was, the upcoming EP from the American metalcore band is their brand new three track offering and is scheduled to be released later this month, making their label debut at new home UNFD.

Speaking about the upcoming EP, drummer Trey Celaya says, “despite all attempts to keep our darker reality shadowed in secrecy, there comes a moment in time when the truth can no longer be hidden behind closed doors or empty excuses. And at once, everything is revealed, as if the Light is a constant law of nature laying bare the secrets we believe are ours to keep. In this infinite moment, the bond shared between two loved ones is severed. The flow of time does not wash away the scars, it only immortalises what is suspended in the balance – the pain of loss, the gift of hindsight, and the curse of hope. What will always be a memory. This EP is a true story of addiction and the trauma that lies in its aftermath of a secret too dark to be hidden.”

Alongside the announcement of the new EP, the band have released a new song from the upcoming record; The Sun Sleeps. Speaking about the new song, Celaya continues, “we wanted to explore both sides of a deeply painful situation, and to draw out how nuanced and weird and difficult these things can be. I think people are learning in the modern day it’s not as simple as ‘this is just a bad person, and they were addicted to drugs and they did it to themselves’, there’s always a string of trauma and things that are not dealt with and stigmatised mental health that sets off a spiral. Even if one person is clearly in the wrong, it doesn’t exempt them from being a victim in another sense.”
