Album review: Void Of Vision – What I’ll Leave Behind
Melbourne metalcorers Void Of Vision go heavy, both lyrically and instrumentally, on their frank fourth record…
Meet the Angel Of Darkness: not only a brand-new single from Void Of Vision, but an apparent new leader of the band as “the human form of Jack Bergin is gone; his whereabouts unknown, for now”…
Following their Chronicles series, Aussie heavy favourites Void Of Vision have already unveiled their next chapter of the band – with a new leader in tow, apparently.
Introducing new single Angel Of Darkness along with a character of the same name communicating on behalf of vocalist Jack Bergin, a statement teases: “Following the scintillating conclusion of the Chronicles trilogy earlier this year, a metamorphosis is underway for Melbourne’s Void Of Vision. The human form of Jack Bergin is gone; his whereabouts unknown, for now. I am here to speak in his place, your Angel Of Darkness. Human to some. A deadly kind of divine.
“Transcending boundaries and the fabric of reality, I have materialised onto this plane, and invite you now to bear witness to a brand new chapter. Let us begin with a brand new anthem, a sonic tribute to my arrival: Angel Of Darkness.
“Ingest alt metal flourishes, weighted equally by searing heavy and pulsing pop. Experience vulnerable lyricism balanced with a broad range of influences spanning Charli XCX to Meshuggah. No genre can hold Void Of Vision, and the beautiful darkness consumes them after a decade of aggressive onslaught. Are you watching closely?”
