Skydancer is the third album by Australian metalcore band In Hearts Wake. The album was released on May 1, 2015 through UNFD and it is the continuation of their second album Earthwalker. The album peaked at No. 2 at official ARIA Charts.[1] It's the last album to feature Caleb Burton as a writer, with his departure following the release of Skydancer. Nic Pettersen of Northlane played drums on the album, with Caleb being unable to secure a US Visa in time to record the album; producer Josh Schroeder revealed on Reddit that he was originally going to track drums for both Earthwalker and Skydancer, going as far as writing the drum tracks for both records and practicing as a touring member for the upcoming shows close to his studio.[2]
