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 here. The band has also shared a visualizer video, which features the spectacular cover artwork of their new EP Dystopia.

“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’.

Dystopia is a continuation and closing chapter for the band’s 2020 full-length LP, Surrender, the Dystopia EP starts off where that record ended, with the title track serving as a front bookend. 

The remainder of its tracklisting features a collection of cover versions from acts like D-A-D (“Sleeping My Day Away”), Winterhawk (“Ace In The Hole”), Moon Martin (“Hands Down”) and Rory Gallagher (“Moonchild”), before closing out with the Swedish version of “Letter From Allen St.”. The Dystopia EP, which features front cover artwork by Juan Machado, will see a March 11, 2022 release via Century Media Records.

Speaking on their new EP, Dead Lord guitarist and vocalist Hakim Krim finds the following words:

“Wax is the only thing that's eternal! We know this as well as do you. So at last, here's our latest single-gone-ep release, for you to enjoy. 6 tracks of something new, something old, something borrowed and something ice cold. A couple of unreleased tracks, homages to our fellow rockateers, if you will, along with some nuggets previously only digitally released, finally make their way to a face melting platter of rocking grooves. So even in the most dystopian of potential futures, where computers have long since lost to the nuclear storms, your record player will keep spinning. And rock will prevail!”
