Asleep In The Garden Of Infernal Stars Lyrics – ​Seven Lions

Seven Lions is luring us into a twilight realm where serenity clashes with chaos on Asleep In The Garden Of Infernal Stars, his sophomore full-length dropping December 12 via Ophelia Records, and the title track whispers like a siren’s call from the edge of oblivion.

This opener sets the album’s hypnotic tone: a sprawling electronic odyssey blending melodic dubstep’s soaring builds with trance’s ethereal pulses and subtle metal-tinged shadows, all self-produced in Jeff Montalvo’s Santa Barbara sanctuary. Clocking in at over five minutes, it’s mostly instrumental—a cosmic drift of shimmering synths, rumbling sub-bass, and glitchy crescendos that evoke wandering through a starlit abyss, infernal yet inviting. Thematically, it’s pure paradox: slumber in a garden of damned constellations, grappling with isolation’s beauty and the pull of forgotten dreams.

Sparse vocal echoes (if any) hint at rebirth amid ruin, a creative pivot back to Montalvo’s trance-metal origins after years chasing festival fire. It’s the sonic manifesto for anyone who’s ever chased highs in the quiet hours, raw and revelatory without a single wasted drop.

The full album? An 11-track testament to the last 18 months’ introspection, born from dodging the EDM echo chamber’s roar—think immersive worlds where you define your own orbit. Stacked with collabs like Kerli’s haunting reprise on “By the Light of the Moon” and “Thrice Woven,” Lilly Ahlberg’s glow on “So Far Away,” plus cuts like “Breaking Me” and “Delusional” teasing emotional fractures. No rigid saga, just a 50-minute portal to individuality, announced via Montalvo’s Insta in September with snippets that lit up Reddit threads and SoundCloud plays. Official updates? Ophelia’s been teasing Red Rocks giveaways tied to the drop, hyping that 5/22/26 headline slot as the victory lap.

Montalvo’s hitting a renaissance stride at 38, post his 2020 Worlds Apart breakthrough that blurred lines and booked global stages. Fresh off Ophelia’s 10-year bash and collabs with ILLENIUM that redefined melodic bass, this feels like homecoming—he’s ditching the chase for deeper dives, proving the lion’s roar evolves into a resonant hum that lingers long after the lights fade.
