Norwegian Progressive Metal masters Rendezvous Point return with their highly anticipated third full-length album ‘Dream Chaser’, due out June 21st, 2024 via Long Branch Records . Following the footsteps from their critically acclaimed sophomore album ‘Universal Chaos’, 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.
In conjunction with this announcement, the band released their new single ‘Oslo Syndrome’ alongside a brand-new music video – marking the second track released off ‘Dream Chaser’ – following the single ‘Don’t Look Up’.
Singer Geirmund Hansen comments on the new single ‘Oslo Syndrome’: “The seduction and excitement of the unknown can sometimes over-shadow moral standards and everyday life. Insights from traveling with artists and musicians creates this description of when something exciting gets out of control.”
Dream Chaser’ delves deep into the realm of artistic exploration, focusing on the relentless pursuit of perfection. “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 un-touchable, like a dream. It seems real and reachable, but never is,“ comment the band.
With themes ranging from societal disillusionment to personal growth, ‘Dream Chaser’ is offering a compelling glimpse into the human experience. Rendezvous Point invites listeners to join them on their journey exploring the complexities of modern existence and the depths of emotional turmoil.
