The intrepid duo of Edmonton’s Sleepwraith are releasing their debut album “Day Terrors” on January 17, 2020.
This is the first album from Sleepwarith in what is expected to be a series of releases under the name. The songs and overall flow of the album feel like a journey that takes an emotional toll on the listener, with dynamic parts and unexpected turns. To Sleepwraith it’s important to create music with levels of intricacy that you might not notice on the first listen. Sleepwraith explains their motivation behind writing the album:
“We created an album with little thought as to how it would be received, instead of focusing on making an album that we would want to hear. We’ve always felt that making art with this starting point has created some of the most genuine music out there. Hopefully, our fans enjoy music for the same reasons we do and enjoy this album as much as we do.”
The second single from this album is ‘A Demon’s Pawn and The Abyss‘, a fast-paced, intricate, and poetic tune about the void inside that can never be filled.

About:
Sleepwraith comes from Edmonton, Canada and the project has been incubated over the course of 20 years and five previous bands ranging from grunge to metalcore to punk rock to hardcore.
The partnership of Seedy Mitchell (guitars/vocals) and Ryan Biggs (drums) is based on a friendship that goes back to before either of them were playing music or even listening to metal. Now that partnership has developed into a dark and dynamic collaborative undertaking that sees Mitchell bringing material to the table in the form of multiple personalities (guitar, bass, vocals) and those elements being worked on together until a song is built.
Coming from different musical backgrounds, Mitchell and Biggs have found their differing styles complement each other and blend to form their brand of deep and intricate metal. Their music conveys emotion through the music but also maintains a technicality that makes it interesting to write and play, and subsequently, listen to.
Sleepwraith wants to tell stories musically and lyrically, focused primarily on creating and releasing new music and art without being concerned about playing it live. All of their energies have been pointed at that goal. With influences coming from all over the metal map including prog, death, mathcore, metalcore, and hardcore, Sleepwraith is an upcoming original band with something for all listeners. The more you listen to it, the more there is to hear.
Their debut album “Day Terrors” is slated for release on January 17, 2020.

The first single from this album is ‘The Aphelion Complex’, described by the band as an angry trip to the infirmary with soaring melodies and heavy intricacy. Sleepwraith expands on the lyrical themes present:
“The main inspiration is the need to expel the demons within and contain them in an art form. We use this inner turmoil as a starting place, and try to make it into something beautiful. It’s painful and sometimes disgusting, but it’s also therapeutic.
‘The Aphelion Complex’ is streaming on Sleepwraith’s on YouTube and website Sleepwraith.com

“‘A Demon’s Pawn and The Abyss’ is brutal, with sick aggro riffs and fierce vocal performance.” – Ghost Cult Mag
Sleepwraith Fun Facts / Story Angles:
– This project consists of only two members: Seedy Mitchell and Ryan Biggs. The songs were written between 2016 and 2019, except the intro and verse of Dystory, which was written by the two members sometime in 2003. It started as a drumbeat, and the guitar was written to it. It has been in the riff-bank for over 15 years and was finally written in to a song.
– The two members have been playing music together, on and off in various bands, for over 20 years. They knew each other as kids, even before either of them knew how to, or wanted to play an instrument.
– In the early days (mid-90’s) both members were heavily influenced by grunge, and played in a band that fit that genre. Over the many years, they’ve both experimented with aggressive music styles, from grunge, to punk, to hardcore, to metalcore, to death metal, and these elements combined are what resulted in Sleepwraith’s sound.
– Though both members have played countless live shows and spent extensive time touring, Sleepwraith is about writing and releasing art. There may be live performances in the future, but for now, it’s just about creation.
– “Day Terrors” is the first of a series of albums we plan to make as Sleepwraith.
