InMe to release 4th album Herald Moth on August 31st and UK tour

InMe return with their fourth album, ‘Herald Moth’ this August on Graphite Records. An album that reveals a band who have matured and shaken off the early ‘emo’ trappings of their 2003 debut.

First single from Herald Moth, ‘Single Of The Weak’, is a real hybrid of sounds from early ska rhythms to metal, whilst other tracks ‘All Terrain Vehicle’ reveals Dave McPherson’s vocals at the top of his game, and similarly 'The Art of Moderation' and 'Happy to Disappoint You' reflects his under rating as a guitarist for the more technical progressive side. Whilst 'Nova Armada' just about encapsulates everything the band is currently about.

“We wanted to create lots of technical layers with an edge; to heavy, melodic tunes,” opens lead vocal/guitarist Dave McPherson. “With Daydream Anonymous we established a more mature sound and pushed our abilities as musicians. Now we’ve really stepped that up. The new album is darker, more epic and grander than we've ever been.”

Lyrically the album deals with the great hardships McPherson has had to come to terms with.

“I've had a particularly tough couple of years. Not to say I feel sorry for myself but things haven't been particularly easy. Part of that was I gave in too much, became too weak and let everything get on top of me. The main theme throughout 'Herald Moth' is adversity really. It gave me a therapeutic outlet to spit out all the darker, negative things within me to become stronger at the end of it.”

In July 2006, bassist Joe Morgan quit the band and was replaced by McPherson’s brother Greg and in 2007 they went on to agree a new deal with Graphite Records for the release of ‘Daydream Anonymous’; the band’s most critically acclaimed album to date. In the Autumn of 2008, second guitarist Ben Konstantinovic joined.

“We’d wanted a 2nd guitarist for a long time,” Dave explains. “But the right guy never came along.”

Ben began playing on McPherson’s regular acoustic nights around the UK. Over time it became clear he was more than the man for the job. “He completely blew everyone away,” confirms Dave. “He has a maths degree and is a qualified pilot too!”

INME never limit themselves & in their 13 years of existence have constantly evolved to become the 4 man machine they are today. Their passionate and innovative attitude towards creating music has led to the creation of their proudest opus, 'Herald Moth' and to accompany this they will be heading out on a full UK tour in September.
