Taken from the quartet’s upcoming fourth studio album What I’ll Leave Behind, due out on September 20 via UNFD, “Blood For Blood” erupts in a scathing and irresistible cacophony of saturated riffs, relentless beats, and a rave-ready outro, gripping from start to finish with its intensity and acidic execution.
Joining recent singles “Gamma Knife,” “Empty” and “Angel of Darkness” in the lead up to the anticipated release of What I’ll Leave Behind, “Blood For Blood” also veraciously unpacks a strenuous overarching reality for the band, and vocalist Jack Bergin in particular, creating and releasing music against a volatile backdrop.
“I entered a phase viewing music as a literal bloodsport,” shares Bergin. “We were losing close friends to suicide, dealing with our own mental health struggles internally, and losing support from those around us all, as I was completely off the map dealing with my own health issues.”
He continues, “Everything was an uphill battle and I had to tackle it while navigating through the criticism and unwanted feedback from an over-privileged ‘fanbase’ who seems to care more about the drama than they ever did about the music alone.”
He furthers, “The modern-day pressures of sustaining a career in music while honoring our creative processes and maintaining our well-being practices are becoming harder and harder as how we consume art continuously shifts, but I really don’t think people who DON’T create will ever understand that.”
Bergin finishes, “As long as the disconnect exists, I will continue to struggle to relate or sympathize for those who couldn’t care less, and I’m exhausted trying to.”
A stupefying collecting of explosive riffs, viscous textures, and serrated metalcore, What I’ll Leave Behind finds Void Of Vision barreling their trademark sounds into brand new territory, redefining modern heavy music through a sharp and compelling lens across the space of ten tracks.
Opening with the caustic bounce of “Oblivion,” What I’ll Leave Behind journeys through melodic potency (“Supernova”), brooding reprieves (“Beautiful Things”) and unbridled, raw savagery (“Decades”), with the overall album gripping from start to finish with reckless abandon. And while seamlessly bridging the Void Of Vision trademarks from across their career to date, What I’ll Leave Behind is ultimately a bold and assertive step into heavy infamy, and also powerfully captures the turbulent personal reality behind the scenes for frontman Bergin.
Void Of Vision have solidified their standing as one of the most innovative and sonically explosive acts in the heavy scene for over a decade. From their debut EP, 2014’s Broken // Bones through to 2016’s Children of Chrome, 2017’s Disturbia, 2019’s Hyperdaze, and the release of the amalgamated CHRONICLES series in 2023, a new future was heralded last year by the arrival of a standalone single “Angel Of Darkness,” an alt metal rager weighted equally by searing heaviness and pulsing pop, helmed by the titular Angel Of Darkness as the band’s representative during the single’s campaign.
In 2024, Void Of Vision roared into view once again with a ferocious new single “Empty,” alongside an appearance at Homegrown Festival in Melbourne, a special headline show in Narre Warren, and a huge North American run supporting ERRA.
With recent unforgettable performances at home and abroad in their wake also alongside Stray From The Path, Holding Absence, Polaris and the first-ever edition of Knotfest Australia, Void Of Vision will join Aussie juggernauts Parkway Drive on their gargantuan 20 Year Anniversary Tour in Australia this September along with I Prevail and The Ghost Inside.
