Wills Dissolve are an American progressive death metal band hailing from Houston, Texas, and in existence since 2015. The band were formed by vocalist/guitarists Nick Block and Andrew Caruana (both formerly of melodic death metal group Act of War), soon accompanied by bassist/vocalist Shaun Weller and drummer Branson Heinz. The band claim inspiration from an assortment of extreme metal groups including progressive acts such as Opeth, Ihsahn, Darkspace, Katatonia and Isis (from whose album Panopticon they draw their name) as well as genre-defining legends like Pink Floyd, Yes and Rush.

Wills Dissolve independently released their debut album, The Heavens Are Not on Fire..., in 2018 before being signed to Hypnotic Dirge Records, who would reissue the LP the following year. The record is a concept album of "religion, violence, and cosmic chaos," regarding the Leonid meteor storm of 1833, "an event erroneously interpreted by North American Christians as the biblical apocalypse and later recognized as the beginning of a critical shift towards a secular understanding of celestial phenomena." 2020's Echoes showed the band introducing more progressive electronic and space rock influences across the album's single thirty-two minute track. Like its predecessor, Echoes was again a concept album, this time detailing "the loneliness and sacrifice of astro-technological advancement," focusing on "the last vestiges of humanity['s] search for another planet to inhabit, as human short-sightedness and hubris has rendered earth uninhabitable."

Fans of Opeth, Cynic, Wilderun, Sunless Dawn, Persefone and Ne Obliviscaris will find much to appreciate.
