Modern metal act Siamese have officially announced their new album Dissolution, set for release on June 26 via Long Branch Records, with pre-orders now available. Alongside the announcement, the band has unveiled their powerful new single and video, “dark,” offering a first glimpse into what is shaping up to be their most personal and intense record yet.
Following the success of Home (2021) and Elements (2024), Siamese continue to build momentum after surpassing 100 million streams and touring globally with major acts like Korn, Corey Taylor, and Dayseeker. But Dissolution marks a turning point. It’s not an album the band initially planned to create — it’s one they felt compelled to make.
Written during a period of internal change, including the departure of a key songwriter, the record pushed the band to rethink everything. The result is a more unified creative direction. Dissolution sees Siamese evolving from a collaborative songwriting camp into a tighter, more instinct-driven band. That shift is reflected in the sound — heavier, more aggressive, and more introspective than anything they’ve released before.
At its core, Dissolution explores a complex father-son relationship, grounding the album in personal conflict. Despite bringing in trusted collaborators like Zachary Baker, Mads Zelasny, Zach Jones, KJ Strock, and Paul Spirou, the band maintains a clear and cohesive identity throughout.
The new single ‘dark’ leans into that tension.
Track Review – “dark”
“dark” leans into contrast — attraction and danger, comfort and collapse. The lyrics paint a picture of surrender, where the pull toward something destructive feels almost necessary.
Lines like “Drag me into the dark / Shadows dancing in the blue moonlight” carry a sense of beauty wrapped in risk. There’s a push-and-pull dynamic throughout the song — the narrator knows they’re being consumed, but chooses it anyway.
What makes the track stand out is how it reframes vulnerability. Instead of resisting the darkness, it embraces it as something that numbs pain and provides clarity. That tension drives the song forward.
The chorus hits with a kind of hypnotic weight, reinforcing the idea of willingly losing control. By the time the song reaches its closing moments, it feels less like a struggle and more like acceptance.
It’s a strong introduction to the tone of Dissolution — emotional, conflicted, and unfiltered.
Fan Reactions
Early fan response to “dark” has been overwhelmingly positive, with listeners praising both the sound and emotional impact:
- “This album is gonna be AMAZING!! … I’m so hyped”
- “They honestly NEVER miss, what a masterpiece!”
- “Amazing! That was the first song I heard from Siamese and I’m hooked”
- “Awesome song!”
- “So beautiful ❤️🔥”
The excitement suggests Siamese are hitting the mark with this new direction.
What’s Next
Siamese will be taking Dissolution on the road later this year, joining Dayseeker and Northlane for a European and UK tour this fall, further cementing their place in the modern metal scene.
