Masters of musical melancholia Sleeping Pulse reveal the video single »Rise« as the first advance single from their forthcoming second album: »Dreams & Limitations« (release: June 5, 2026).

“The track »Rise« confronts the unnerving reality that there is no life without death,” frontman Mick Moss writes. “Both are wound together so tightly that they tease each other. We can try our best to focus on the light, but the darkness is always there, tapping us on the shoulder.”

When you allow Northern English melancholia from valleys of green and grey to get married to the eternal longing of Portuguese Fado from where the raging Atlantic meets the heat of summer at the end of the world, Sleeping Pulse is what you get. What sets the duo of vocalist Mick Moss, who is best known for his work with Antimatter, and Portuguese guitarist Luís Fazendeiro apart, is their artistic achievement to make such existential pain audible with every note on their sophomore album »Dreams & Limitations«.

Using a form of doomy progressive or even post-rock as their sonic foundation, Sleeping Pulse compose music that is in the best way deeply emotional while remaining exciting. The duo’s songs do not wallow in sorrow; they rather embrace the inevitable and live through it for as long as it lasts. It took Sleeping Pulse more than a decade to create a more than worthy heir to »Under The Same Sky« (2014). With »Dreams & Limitations« Sleeping Pulse continue where they left off while they gently venture further on their rocky path. It invites all those to follow, for whom rock music is not all about party and kicking ass.

»Dreams & Limitations« gives a musical voice to loss and pain, but it also offers to carry a part of the burden, comfort and hope, and to be an understanding companion through such dark times.
