Swedish supreme rockers DEAD LORD have released their new single “Sleeping My Day Away”. The band takes a bow to their Scandinavian colleagues from D-A-D for the cover track. DEAD LORD’s new single is now available on all major streaming platforms. The band is also thrilled to share a visualizer video, which features the spectacular cover artwork of their new EP “Dystopia.” Watch it below.
“Defenders of the night and snoozers, unite! Here’s one fresh off the press that might sound familiar. Our fellow Scandinavians D-A-D cracked it quite some time ago, and we do agree that the nighttime sure is the right time. And the daytime is the not-so-ok-time. Here’s our take on their fine little nugget. Let us all sleep our days away, all in the name of rock,” states DEAD LORD vocalist Hakim Krim about the band’s take on ‘Sleeping My Day Away’.
