The band has shared the visualizer for the new song “More Than Dreaming.” Listen and watch here.

Says Jones:

“I love starting the album with ‘More Than Dreaming. It’s got great energy and bounce to it — exactly what you want as an opener. We are looking forward to playing this live. The wait is almost over!”

The visualizer is a 3-dimensional version of the album artwork. Both the visualizer and album cover were created by Francesco Artusato. Artusato explains:

“The idea for this artwork started developing in my head right after we were done with the first session of pre-production. I started seeing certain colors and this style in my head. To me, the music on this record in fact sounds like ‘those colors.’ The concept is pretty simple: You can see a torch in the middle and three flames coming out of it. The three flames represent the three of us. The addition of neons and fog was inspired by John Carpenter’s ’80’s movies.”
“Having all the artwork created in 3-D, I was able to place it in a CG environment, start animating some of the elements, and create some sort of story. I think in this case it works well with the ‘dream-like’ vibe of these visuals. Artwork and visual creativity have been a big part of my growth as an artist for the past few years and I love to be able to combine music and visuals in one project. It made this album even more special to me.”

LIGHT THE TORCH previously shared the video for the first single, “Wilting in the Light,” which was directed by Ramon Boutviseth in L.A. Watch it here.

For You Will Be the Death of Me, the band returned to Sparrow Sound in Glendale, California to once again work with the production team of Josh Gilbert and Joseph McQueen [Bullet for My Valentine, As I Lay Dying, Suicide Silence]. This time around, they also welcomed Whitechapel‘s Alex Rudinger on drums.

They also crisscrossed North America and Europe on tour with the likes of Trivium, Avatar, In Flames, Ice Nine Kills, Killswitch Engage, and August Burns Red to name a few.
