Dead Within Days Release New Single “Sleep Traveler” – A Haunting Ode to Lost Sight and Inner Strength

New York’s blind-led metalcore force Dead Within Days returns with their most personal and emotionally resonant track yet—“Sleep Traveler”, releasing Friday, July 11 on all major streaming platforms.

Following the firestorm of their previous single “Lost Light”, the band now unveils a more introspective side, crafting a sonic journey rooted in beauty, memory, and loss. With soaring guitar work, crushing rhythm, and deeply reflective lyricism, “Sleep Traveler” explores the inner world of their frontman, who lost 97% of his vision at just 27 years old.

“This may be our most personal song to date,” the band shares. “During the time I wrote the lyrics, I was coming to terms with becoming functionally blind. I could no longer see the green trees, amber sunsets, or starry skies that once brought me peace. Except, sometimes, when I dreamed. ‘Sleep Traveler’ became a love letter to the world I used to see—and to the memories that are now fading too.”

Produced, mixed, and mastered by Billy Pfister of Westfall Records, “Sleep Traveler” is a powerful fusion of melancholy and aggression, echoing the band’s hallmark blend of 2000s-era metalcore with raw emotional depth. Fans of Blessthefall, Bullet For My Valentine, and Darkest Hour will find both nostalgia and fresh authenticity in the band’s latest evolution.

Dead Within Days continues to redefine what it means to push through adversity, turning personal tragedy into creative triumph. As the world’s first blind-led metalcore band, they are not only breaking barriers—they’re rewriting the rules.

“Sleep Traveler” is more than a song—it’s a farewell, a dreamscape, and a scream into the darkness.
