As Everything Unfolds Drop New Single “What You Wanted” Feat. Dani Winter-Bates of Bury Tomorrow

UK post-hardcore rising force As Everything Unfolds have unleashed their brand-new single “WHAT YOU WANTED”, another powerful release since announcing their signing to Century Media Records. The track arrives with a heavy emotional punch and a standout guest feature from Dani Winter-Bates of UK metalcore heavyweights Bury Tomorrow, whose unmistakable presence adds even more weight to an already crushing release.

Vocalist Charlie Rolfe digs deep on the new single, revealing the personal struggle that inspired its creation:

“Over the last two years, I have watched various people in my life struggle with addiction issues, mostly related to alcohol. It’s painful and difficult to watch your most beloved people destroy themselves every single day, and not be able to help them. You find it frustrating not being able to help them, not being able to do anything, and being angry at their lack of empathy for the pain they put you through.”

Charlie goes on to explain how the thematic world of The Shining became a lens for expressing that emotional turmoil:

“I found a lot of relatable things in the 1980’s film The Shining which is famously seen as an allegory for Alcoholism, with Jack’s family being concerned for his health, his wellbeing, seeing him in slow decline. His family are frustrated with the situation he put them in alongside being terrified of him when he is the worst version of himself. It made me realise that I was often frustrated and terrified on that person and felt like I was living in my own Overlook hotel at times, trying to desperately save that person, but also sometimes the best thing to do is to just get out. I used this world as a creative vessel to tell my own story.”

“What You Wanted” blends visceral metalcore intensity with the band’s trademark atmospheric edge, and Winter-Bates’ contribution helps elevate the track into one of As Everything Unfolds’ most emotionally charged moments to date.
