WATCH: The Icarus Line Album Trailer #5

Final album trailer, featuring the track Dark Circles

Concluding our series of trailers for The Icarus Line’s new album, Slave Vows, here’s the teaser for album opener ‘Dark Circles’.

Filling us in with a little context, Icarus Line frontman Joe Cardamone says: "For some reason I just don’t dream and if I do I never remember them. Perhaps it is due to the night terrors that I suffered from as a child. Somewhere along the way I learned to shut off the dreams as they come. Later in life I had some not so fun run-ins with what I can only explain as astral demons. Is it a dream if you are aware that you are asleep and can see the dark objects holding down the corners of your room? Thankfully that was along time ago now.

"I had a dream about Apollo a couple nights ago. I was not aware at all that it was a dream. I just thought that he was laying next to me in my arms. I could smell his ears and I always loved the way he smelled. Ever since he was a puppy, I can’t explain it, he just smelled like he was mine. At some point I woke up and realised what was really going on. I got up, made some tea and went to the studio."

The album is set for release on July 22 via Agitated; ahead of that, have a watch of all four previous album trailers below:
