Marking the third track from their new album, Dream Chaser, Norwegian progressive metal masters RENDEZVOUS POINT share a new single – “Utopia.” Along with a lyric video, “Utopia” follows previous singles “Don’t Look Up” and “Oslo Syndrome.”
Following in the footsteps of their critically acclaimed sophomore album, Universal Chaos, RENDEZVOUS POINT’s highly anticipated third full-length album, Dream Chaser, is out June 21 via Long Branch Records. The 5-piece around Leprous drummer Baard Kolstad, keyboardist Nicolay Tangen Svennæs, singer Geirmund Hansen, guitarist Petter Hallaråker and bass player Gunn-Hilde Erstad continues to push boundaries with more concise songwriting and a wider focus on groove, riffs, melodies, and hooks.
Singer Geirmund Hansen comments on “Utopia”:
“As a child, you often search for ideals and someone to look up to. Very often, you can find those ideals in close family relations, and they become your guide. Later in life, there’s a breaking point where you must find your own path and that sometimes can lead to a lacking feeling of belonging and you end up in the middle of two different spheres, Dystopia.”
The band comments:
“Artists often strive a whole lifetime searching for something abstract, a feeling of perfection in what you do or create. Since it’s an abstract and subjective thing, the artists‘ search for perfection often results in a lifetime of always wanting more, better, bigger, and deeper. This leads to chasing something unclear and untouchable, like a dream. It seems real and reachable, but never is.“
With themes ranging from societal disillusionment to personal growth, Dream Chaser offers a compelling glimpse into the human experience. RENDEZVOUS POINT invites listeners to join them on their journey to explore the complexities of modern existence and the depths of emotional turmoil.
