Sick of it All is back with a new album, Wake the Sleeping Dragon! which will be coming out on November 7th on Century Media. The band has shared the first single from the record, the bracing hardcore of “Inner Vision,” as reported by The PRP. In just under 2 minutes, the song is furious blast of aggressive drums, harsh bass, grinding guitars, and another dominant vocal performance from Lou Koller. As is the case with many of their classic songs, “Inner Vision” deals with personal issues, namely dealing with the inner thoughts in one’s mind. Wake the Sleeping Dragon will feature guest appearances from the likes of Rise Against vocalist/guitarist Tim McIlrath and Hot Water Music frontman/guitarist Chuck Ragan. The last Sick of it All album came in the form of 2016’s awesome When the Smoke Clears.
Produced by Jerry Farley (Every Time I Die, Demon Hunter), Wake the Sleeping Dragon! is Sick of it All’s 12th studio album, a testament to the bands enduring impact on the hardcore scene and their relentless touring and recording schedule over the past 32 years. Sick of it All recently finished up a short tour with Murphy’s Law but you can expect them to get back on the road later this year in support of this new record. You can listen to “Inner Vision” in the player below.
