Norwegian Progressive Metal masters Rendezvous Point have released their new single “Utopia” – marking the third track released off their new album “Dream Chaser” – following the singles “Don’t Look Up” and “Oslo Syndrome.”
With their highly anticipated third full-length album “Dream Chaser,” due out June 21, 2024 via Long Branch Records, Rendezvous Point are following the footsteps from their critically acclaimed sophomore album “Universal Chaos.” The 5-piece around Leprous drummer Baard Kolstad, keyboardist Nicolay Tangen Svennæs, singer Geirmund Hansen, guitarist Petter Hallaråker and bass player Gunn-Hilde Erstad continues to push boundaries with more concise songwriting and a wider focus on groove, riffs, melodies and hooks.

Singer Geirmund Hansen comments on the new single “Utopia“: “As a child you often search for ideals and someone to look up to. Very often, you can find those ideals in close family relations, and they become your guide. Later in life there’s a breaking point where you must find your own path and that sometimes can lead to a lacking feeling of belonging and you end up in the middle of two different spheres, Dystopia.“
Tracklist:
1 Don’t Look Up
2 Oslo Syndrome
3 Utopia
4 Fireflies
5 Presence
6 Wildflower
7 The Tormented
8 Still Water
“Dream Chaser” delves deep into the realm of artistic exploration, focusing on the relentless pursuit of perfection. “Artists often strive a whole lifetime searching for something abstract, a feeling of perfection in what you do or create. Since it’s an abstract and subjective thing, the artists‘ search for perfection often results in a lifetime of always wanting more, better, bigger and deeper. This leads to chasing something unclear and un-touchable, like a dream. It seems real and reachable, but never is,“ comment the band.
With themes ranging from societal disillusionment to personal growth, “Dream Chaser” is offering a compelling glimpse into the human experience. Rendezvous Point invites listeners to join them on their journey exploring the complexities of modern existence and the depths of emotional turmoil.
