It was the first single to be released from their fourth album Herald Moth.

Herald Moth was eventually released on 14 September through Graphite Records.

Herald Moth was recorded at Chapel Studios and the band finished recording the album in February 2009.

Having drawn a line under the technical metal trappings of 2009's Herald Moth, The Pride is said to take on a much more song based approach.

Herald Moth was InMe's first album as a four piece band, following the addition of Ben Konstantinovic in 2008.

Herald Moth continues where Daydream Anonymous left off in that most of its songs contain technical riffing blended with clean melodic vocal lines.

During the winter the Herald moth hibernates in dark, cool structures (e.g. cellars, barns and caves), returning to take wing again from March to June.

On 18 September, McPherson revealed through his solo Myspace that the fourth album will be titled Herald Moth.

In addition to the two bonus tracks found on the limited edition versions of Herald Moth, two more songs were recorded in the sessions for the album.

On 1 December 2008 a selection of clips from the demos recorded for Herald Moth were uploaded to InMe's Myspace.

Lyrically and Vocally, the album is more positive than Daydream Anonymous and Herald Moth, with soaring melodies conveying poetic lyrics.

On 6 April, InMe uploaded "Nova Armada", a new track from Herald Moth, to their MySpace.

The following day, McPherson revealed that Herald Moth would be recorded at Chapel Studios, where the band's first album, Overgrown Eden, had been recorded.

Ophion Luteus is a further B Side recorded during the Herald Moth Sessions that InMe gave aways as a free download exclusively on Christmas Day 2009.

It was written in response to a record producer who told InMe that their songs for their 4th album Herald Moth should be shorter, catchier and not contain any guitar solos.

InMe played Herald Moth in its entirety at both the Firebug in Leicester and The Relentless Garage in London in December 2010.

Overgrown Eden was performed in Sheffield, White Butterfly in Manchester, Daydream Anonymous in Cardiff and Herald Moth in Leicester.

Dave McPherson wrote a whole album's worth of material more in the vein of Herald Moth's technical metal style but scrapped all but two songs, which feature on the band's best of compilation.

The album exhibits a completely different sound to its predecessor Herald Moth and has been described was "euphoric, uplifting and very positive" both by Dave McPherson and lead guitarist Gazz Marlow in the buildup to the album's release.

Material from 2009's Herald Moth further exacerbates InMe's heavy technical sound as well as their softer, heartfelt side, with the three new songs ("Saccharine Arcadia", "Bury Me Deep Within Your Skin" and "Thanks For Believing Me") taking both of these aspects to even further extremes.

The Herald (Scoliopteryx libatrix) is a moth of the family Noctuidae.

At Sandwick Pete Ellis had a HERALD Scoliopteryx libatrix.
