ARKANGEL Blaze Forward With Explosive New Single Haunting My Dreams

Australian heavy outfit Arkangel are charging into a bold new chapter with their latest single, Haunting My Dreams, set for release on September 5. The track marks a defining moment for the band, not only in sound but in ambition, and features a powerful collaboration with electro-driven artist Misstiq.
For vocalist Jake Harrop, the collaboration was a dream realised. “I’d always wanted to work with Misstiq—her synth work is incredible, and she brought a whole new energy to the track,” he explains. “We already loved the song before she jumped on it, but when she added her vocals and flair, it just took it to another level.”
The single was produced by ARIA-nominated songwriter and producer Callan Orr, who Harrop describes as “like a fifth member of the band,” and accompanied by a visually striking music video filmed at Melbourne’s historic Old Jail with acclaimed director Colin Jeffs. “If we were ever going to go all out, this was the one to do it for,” Harrop says. “It’s our favourite song we’ve written so far, and we wanted everything around it to match the scale and intensity.”
Since forming in late 2022, Arkangel have been quick to make their mark, with their debut EP racking up over 250,000 streams and a relentless schedule of nearly 30 shows across Australia. The band’s unique blend of crushing heaviness and atmospheric synths has earned them both a loyal fan base and the respect of peers in the heavy scene.
Looking ahead, Arkangel aren’t slowing down. With more singles already in the works, including additional collaborations and a return to the studio immediately after this release, the band is focused on pushing boundaries. Fans can also catch Haunting My Dreams live at Ark Fest on November 1, where Arkangel will headline alongside a stacked line up.
Tickets are available now via Oztix.
