French heavyweights Resolve have today released their chilling new single ‘Mind Awake, Body Asleep’, the third single taken from the recently announced new album Spread My Ashes Into Space, set for release on 15th January via Arising Empire.
A journey into the terror of sleep paralysis, ‘Mind Awake, Body Asleep’ blurs the line between nightmare and reality. Haunting atmospheres, crushing riffs and soaring melodies capture the helplessness of being trapped between consciousness and sleep while unseen forces close in. Blending psychological horror with raw emotion, it stands as one of the most intense and immersive songs Resolve have written to date.
Speaking of the new single, vocalist Anthony Diliberto shares: “‘Mind Awake, Body Asleep’ is about sleep paralysis, something that has deeply affected my nights for several years. I experienced one particularly intense episode a few years ago, and while I’m now better at recognizing what is happening, the line between sleep paralysis, nightmares and reality can still become difficult to distinguish. I’ve also developed a reflex that wakes me up instantly just as I’m falling asleep, as well as a sense of paranoia that gradually sets in as the night goes on. Strangely, these episodes happen almost exclusively when I’m at home, and very rarely when I’m away or on tour.”
French heavyweights Resolve return with their crushing new single ‘Godtier’, offering another glimpse into their recently announced third album Spread My Ashes Into Space due 15th January, 2027 via Arising Empire.
Following the first taste of their next chapter, ‘Godtier’ pushes Resolve deeper into the ambitious world surrounding the upcoming record. Ferocious, expansive and driven by the band’s unmistakable sense of scale, the track captures the collision of intensity, atmosphere and emotion that continues to define their evolving sound.
Speaking of the new single, vocalist Anthony Diliberto shares: “While a lot of the Spread My Ashes Into Space ideas and concepts are about wanting to step back and escape, ‘Godtier’ could be almost the polar opposite. It’s about willingly flying straight into the fire. The lyrics are telling this story of a character steering a spaceship into a dying sun, but the core meaning of this is deeply human. It’s about chasing a thrill that you know is eventually going to break you.
“Whether it’s the physical and mental toll of what we do, or simply pouring every ounce of yourself into a passion, you’re eventually reminded that pushing yourself to the absolute limit comes with its price. You know the crash that follows the euphoria is going to hurt. But there is an undeniable, almost addictive beauty in experiencing that level of intensity. Instead of fearing the inevitable collapse, this track is about embracing it. It’s that moment where you stop fighting the exhaustion, look at the vibrant chaos around you, and decide the rush is simply worth the damage. It’s a surrender to the beauty of not always being in control.”
French metalcore force Resolve return with their brand new single ‘Spread My Ashes Into Space’, marking the beginning of a bold new chapter for the band. Cinematic, crushing and deeply emotional, the track arrives alongside the announcement of their new album of the same name, set for release on 15th January, 2027.
The modern metalcore DNA that has defined the band, the single expands their sonic world with a renewed sense of ambition, depth and cinematic scope. At its heart, ‘Spread My Ashes Into Space’ explores the overwhelming desire to escape when the weight of reality becomes impossible to ignore. Space becomes a metaphor for absolute freedom, a place beyond expectations, pressure and noise. Against imagery of infinite darkness, solar flares and hyperspace, the song wrestles with the line between surrender and self preservation, repeatedly returning to its central question: “Is it a cure or an escape?”
The band comments: “This first single and title track dive into the moment the breaking point is reached, and how that kickstarts a new perspective. The core of this song revolves around one specific question that kept coming up when writing the lyrics: “Is it a cure or an escape?”. I’ve had times when the sheer weight of everything, the noise, the expectations, made me almost consider changing up my whole life and escape to a quieter, more serene place. In this song, space represents this: an ultimate silence and isolation. A place with “no rules, no gods, just infinite black unknown. It’s about the desperate need to find a sanctuary where you can finally be free from the weight of reality, a place where you can just exist however you see fit. This place has been harder and harder to reach for me these past few years, and I think I’m not alone in that. Some might read the lyrics and see a dark surrender, but I want the audience to see it as written from a place of hope. It’s that feeling of being an “escape artist with no hands,” trying to find a way out when you’re completely backed into a corner. Ultimately, it’s a very raw admission that sometimes, the urge to disappear isn’t about wanting to escape the actual world, but simply trying to save yourself from a system that feels too loud.”

French metalcore quartet Resolve have announced their new album Human (Extended Cut), which will be released on 25th October, 2024 via Arising Empire. This version of Human, which was originally released in 2023, will not only include brand new music, but also the ‘The Fire, The Aftermath, The Everlasting’ live performance as a bonus.
In celebration, the band is now unveiling another new single ‘Sandman’, merging the lines between the past and present.
Resolve‘s bassist, Robin Mariat comments on the track:
“Some months ago, Anthony (Resolve‘s lead singer and songwriter) went through an episode of sleep paralysis. If you’re lucky enough to have never experienced it, imagine waking up in the dead of night with a terrifying figure looking over you, and being unable to move or ask for help. The next day, Anthony came up with the demo for ‘Sandman’ originally named ‘Sleep Paralysis’. That probably explains the nightmarish vibe of the track. The choruses though, are epic and hopeful, a reminder that even in the darkest moments of our lives, there will always be something or someone to lift us up and bring us back into the light.”

French metalcore quartet Resolve have announced their new album Human (Extended Cut), which will be released on 25th October, 2024 via Arising Empire. This version of Human, which was originally released in 2023, will not only include brand new music, but also the ‘The Fire, The Aftermath, The Everlasting’ live performance as a bonus.
In celebration, the band is now unveiling a brand new single ‘Molotov’, merging the lines between the past and present.
Vocalis Anthony Diliberto comments on the track: “‘Molotov’ is an incendiary track, relentless and aggressive. I feel like upon the first few seconds of the track, you get the message clear as day: we’re here to shake the earth to its core. It’s very much a follow up, an epilogue even, to 2023’s lead single Human. Decades after the machine’s overtaking of earth and humanity, the cycle begins again and a new hope for humanity arises when a robot inexplicably starts behaving like an actual living person. When you stand out so much from the crowd, does that make you a leader or a pariah?”
Expanding on the album, bassist Robin Mariat mentions: “This is a new form of release for us, which is very exciting. We get to build up on the world that we shaped for Human, and these new tracks are the continuation of the story. These new tracks definitely have something for everyone, whether you like the heavier side of Resolve, or if you are more into our melodic capabilities.“
