The band comment:

"A return to big guitar riffs, it’s time to take accountability for the mess we’re in or accept our fate. On the other side of this song is an element of the hurt, and sometimes anger, you feel once you realise you’ve outgrown areas of your life and belief systems you held onto for so long. Relish in letting go of what no longer serves you, they’ll have to cross realms if they want to reach you. Featuring Tobi from Trash Boat, we knew this breakdown was the heaviest point of the album, the fight scene, the crescendo; and required an extra element to complete this track.”

Air Drawn Dagger invite you on a spellbinding journey with A Guide For Apparitions, fusing macabre mysticism with multi-genre-infused rock. Produced by Neil Kennedy (Creeper, Boston Manor), each track pulls listeners through haunted tales and cosmic chaos, conjuring imagery from Witch Trials to ghost lore.

The band on their debut album:

"A Guide For Apparitions brings multiple meanings. The record can be a Grimoire if you're being haunted, or a guide if you are the one confined to a realm you don't belong."

Air Drawn Dagger blend raw emotion and defiance into a sound that defies genre. Their name, taken from Macbeth, symbolises the chaos and emotional outbursts that fuel their music. BBC Introducing championed their early releases, and they soon found themselves on major playlists such as Pop Punk Generation, Emo Anthems, and All New Rock.

Air Drawn Dagger’s momentum is undeniable. They’ve sold out their own headline shows and played packed-out UK dates with Millie Manders. Recent shows with Lake Malice, Dream State, and AVIVIA saw more back-to-back sellouts along with curating their own stage at the Tramlines Festival Fringe. With over 250,000 views on the music video for their single ‘You Should Have Known Better’, which also featured on the Kerrang! Chart, and multiple tracks premiering on BBC Introducing, the band’s cult-like following continues to grow.

Following their sold-out show at The Leadmill last year, featuring a choir of ghosts, confetti, and a human sacrifice, Air Drawn Dagger have also announced their biggest show to date at Corporation, in their hometown of Sheffield.

With all this, and more to come, 2025 is set to be The Year of the Dagger.

Live dates:
Apr 05: Sheffield Corporation
Jul 04-06: Manchester RADAR Festival

Maisie (Vocals)
