‘Half-life of Dreams’ is focused, bold, motivated and driven. It immediately states its intent with a seductive riff evolving into an inescapable spiral of groove. Vocalist Jennie Skulander’s flawless delivery is mesmerising and hooks jump out of this song from start to finish.

‘Half-life of Dreams’ is undeniably classy and emotionally raw. Musically, ‘Half-life of Dreams’ was composed within three hours and urges a refreshed take on Devilskin’s hard-hitting sound, while retaining the nostalgia of a ‘Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater’ video game soundtrack. Frontwoman Jennie Skulander delivers a soaring yet honest exploration into her struggles with insomnia and sleep medications.

“My sole intention behind composing ‘Half-life of Dreams’ was to write a ‘fun banger’ that is both reminiscent of Devilskin’s decorated past, yet brings a refined and modern perspective to our sound”, says drummer Nic Martin. “I vividly recall Jennie’s response to the demo: “F*#@ yes. I’m so excited for this album”; when she’s locked in, there’s no stopping her.”

Martin continues: ‘I’m really proud to create a song that she felt like she could be a little more vulnerable with, while still ensuring it’s an absolute earworm that’s sure to captivate rock listeners around the world.”

The stellar production, courtesy of Dave Rhodes is vivid and touchingly highlights the profound despair in the lyrics – the tale of someone haunted by insomnia, searching for a remedy that ultimately comes with the weight of addiction. The honesty is palpable, and the band sound even more confident as the re-evolution of Devilskin continues.

At the end of this month, make sure to catch them live this winter when they hit the road nationwide with very special guests Villainy and Midwave Breaks.
