Asleep At The Helm sign with Year Of The Rat Records

UK, 27th June 2025

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 and Spotify 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, Black Orchid Empire) and release their new single ‘Equilibirum’ on the 27th June 2025. The band will also be heading out on a UK tour with Polar in July 2025.

Jimmy Dahmer “We’re beyond excited to release our upcoming single Equilibrium—a track that captures the chaos and emotion at a time when the band was exposed to attack. It’s raw, relentless, and personal. Signing with Year of the Rat Records feels like the perfect alignment; their vision matches our hunger. This is just the beginning of a new chapter, and we’re ready to push everything further. Equilibrium is the sound of us finding level ground through the noise.”
