NIGHT VERSES PREMIERE “VICE WAVE” VIDEO WITH
LOUDWIRE; ON FULL US TOUR AND NEW ALBUM
FROM THE GALLERY OF SLEEP OUT NOW




“It's a spooky video that plays out in unison with the chaotic brilliance of Night Verses' mostly instrumental new track Vice
Wave.” - Loudwire

“On their fourth album From the Gallery of Sleep, the L.A-based alternative metal power trio examines the junction between
fantasy and reality. Taking the role of a prog Morpheus, they lead us through the land of imagination.” - Noisey

“A stunning, nine-and-a-half-minute marvel that upholds the band's career-long tradition of dedicating a track to the legendary
bird on each album” - Revolver Magazine

“Somewhere in the grey area between Animals as Leaders and Pelican lie Night Verses, a Los Angeles instrumental trio that
gives a refreshing flair to prog.” - MetalSucks

Southern California progressive instrumental rock trio, Night Verses, are sharing their haunting new video for “Vice
Wave” today via a premiere with Loudwire. “Vice Wave” begins on the softer side of the band’s musical spectrum
before escalating to one of the heaviest moments on From The Gallery Of Sleep. Visually, the video calls to mind
a horror classic, complete with an unexpected twist that alludes back to the album artwork. From The Gallery Of
Sleep is available now on Equal Vision Records / Graphic Nature Records and you can watch the video for “Vice
Wave” on YouTube or stream the track on Spotify.

Speaking on “Vice Wave”, Aric Improta (drums) says:

"This was one of the last songs written for the record. It started with Nicks intro lead and ended up in a direction
none of us expected. I think the big turning point in the writing process was when Nick added those massive
fuzz/noise ring outs in the bridge. Once those were in place, the rest of the song quickly started to gravitate in
that direction. Side note: The digital percussion sounds were influenced by all the Ministry, Arca and Post-era
Bjork I was listening to at the time.  

As far as the video, we are all pretty big on making our own artwork and teaming up with our friends to get
exactly what we have in mind. We worked with Chris Abouabdo on this and built around some of the imagery
we put together for the vinyl booklet. He’s amazing at bringing life to our initial visual ideas and developing
scenes that feel very immersive while simultaneously complimenting the initial score, to the point where it almost
starts to feel like the music and visuals were inspired by the video instead of the other way around. We love what
he did on this and aim to continue working with him in the future.”

After sharing their first single “Phoenix IV: Levitation” with Revolver Magazine and the following single “Infinity Beach”
on MetalSucks, the album has received numerous stellar review from the likes of Dead Press, ItDjents, Heavy Blog Is
Heavy and more. Night Verses are currently on a full US tour to celebrate the release of From The Gallery of Sleep with
Strawberry Girls.

Earlier this year, the heavy post rock outfit, shared the news that they would be continuing on as an instrumental band
without their long-term vocalist and surprise released their first new music, a 3 song EP, Copper Wasp. While that sort
of change up might have knocked a band back a few steps, Night Verses have come through as an entirely different
beast, letting each member shine all the brighter.

With the release of their new full length, From The Gallery Of Sleep, Night Verses are redefining what a progressive
metal band can sound like, pushing the boundaries, not only without a vocalist, but by bending the sounds that are
"generally acceptable" within a heavy record. The record is a new step forward and sees Night Verses moving on from
what they used to be by challenging preconceived notions about their sound and heavy music in general. These rising
from the ashes type of analogies are extremely "on the nose”, as the band would say, with tracks like “Phoenix IV:
Levitation” but are even more extreme when listening to tracks such as, "No Moon", "Glitch In The You I Thought I
Knew" and "No.O” that flow together seamlessly, while still keeping the listener on edge between incredibly technical
riffs and lulls of soft beat percussion and atmospheric noise.

Originally formed in 2012, they went on to sign with Equal Vision Records and share the stage with acts such as
Converge, letlive., The Chariot and more. While the loss of a vocalist might break other bands, Night Verses’ live show,
which they’ve always been highly regarded for, has only grown more intense and dynamic.
