The band's Samuel Konter shares elements of the story behind the record: "The Dream Within develops the characters from our debut album Libra. The latest journey takes us to another world, where the narrator's task is to understand and accept the cycle of life."
Konter continues: “The inner fight between apathy and acceptance is represented through a dance between two people, whose connection can be found in different levels of existence.”
Budapest-based metal crew Heedless Elegance have accrued a spread of acclaim since the release of their debut album, 2019's Wanderer.
Metal.hu's Album of The Year impressed with it's deft interplay of riveting guitar work and punishing vocals, and the band moved from strength to strength on LP #2 Libra. Honing influence from across metal, the band's technical prowess is matched only by their storytelling on the record, a captivating and unerringly heavy soundscape palpable with atmosphere and emotion.
Considered one of Hungary's pre-eminent heavy acts, Heedless Elegance have also landed international recognition, with mainland European tours and tastemaker press support from the likes of Kerrang, Loudwire and Outburn.
"An absolutely enormous sound." - Alex Baker, Kerrang Radio
The Dream Within offers up the thunderous breakdowns of Parkway Drive with the stark rawness of early Slipknot. From the stark ferocity of "The Threads", to the movingly serene "The Heart of Everything", Heedless Elegance take fans on an immersive metal journey. Whilst dynamite riffs and thunderous breakdowns sit at the heart of the record, The Dream Within showcases an opulent soundscape of multi-faceted heavy, as to the band steers you through the expanse of human emotion.
