You can feel the anguish, the devastation, and anxiety layered underneath the newest, and beautifully heavy, single \u201cDeath of a Friend\u201d by rock duo Sleeping Wolf<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The duo, created by Jake Newton and Steven Solomon in 2014, began their musical partnership with the release of their debut single \u201cThe Wreck Of Our Hearts.\u201d Influenced by bands like Nine Inch Nails<\/a>, CHVRCHES<\/a>, and\u00a0Jimmy Eat World<\/a>, Sleeping Wolf has established a solid fan base throughout the years, especially with their their first few EPs released in 2015, gaining over 40 million streams globally. Additionally, the band has had singles appear in TV and movies, namely, Netflix\u2019s Mission Blue<\/em>, The Vampire Diaries<\/em> and You\u2019re Not You<\/em>.<\/p>\n This track, \u201cDeath of a Friend,\u201d was actually written during a time of devastation. Dedicated to their craft, the Sleeping Wolf members wrote this song in the spring of 2025 after staying up all night during a hurricane. The song itself dives into the theme of drifted friendships. In an Instagram caption<\/a>, the band wrote:<\/p>\n \u201csometimes, we lose friends due to distance, arguments, or even death. but sometimes we drift apart so gradually that by the time we realize it, they\u2019re no longer recognizable to us. the person we once knew is gone, and with them, a part of ourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Much more is to be anticipated from this unique band as more and more fans begin to discover their talents.<\/p>\n\n
