Eloquent storytelling through scathing vocals: VILIFY announce new EP
The Aussie metal scene is absolutely on fire.We’ve already covered artists like Windwaker, Northlane, Alpha Wolf, Parkway Drive. A tiny selection of the talent from down under taking on the world. Vilify are another you need to follow and keep across. Plucking some of the darker elements of our world (emotions, experiences, struggles etc) and mirroring them back in vibrant, raw lyrics, Vilify have stayed sharp on their writing throughout their career and it feels like we’re at a breaking point with getting more ears around the world on this heavy band.
Juxtaposing the serenity of sleep with the misery of life, “Light Bringer” explores the escape from reality that sleep brings. “Light bringer is a bit of a metaphorical deep dive into my love for sleep and the peace it brings,” explains vocalist Amy McIntosh. “When my waking life becomes overwhelming I find myself searching for “better” or “happier” in the clutches of slumber. The track finds me trying to summon or beacon this personification of bliss – Sleep is my saviour and she saves me from the pain of existence.
Unique, alternative, commanding. We love what Vilify are doing with the metalcore sound:
