Palm Reader announce new album ‘Sleepless’

PALM READER have announced a new album!

Titled Sleepless, the upcoming album from the UK metal band follows on from 2018’s stunning Braille and is scheduled to be released in October this year, via Holy Roar Records.

Alongside the announcement of the new album, the band have released a new music video for the first song to be lifted from the upcoming album; titled Hold/Release. The new song explores the notion of toxic masculinity, how men are sometimes discouraged from sharing their problems in an attempt to live up to a false idea of what they should be. “That attitude can tear people apart,” says vocalist Josh Mckeown. “I’ve seen it happen to people. I’ve been scared of it happening to myself. It’s a subject that I’ve particularly gravitated towards of late.” Inspired in part by Grayson Perry’s 2016 book The Descent of Man, the song provides a sober reflection on the dire consequences such an attitude can have, especially in the UK where suicide remains the biggest killer of men under 45 in the country.
