After nearly five years of solemn solitude, Dyssidia resurface with Serum Sickness, a tightly-coiled, venom-laced single that signals the rebirth of one of Australia’s most distinct progressive metal voices.
At once cryptic and visceral, Serum Sickness hints at the disorientation of misplaced trust; the slow unravelling of reverence into suspicion. It captures the moment when what once appeared as guidance takes on a more serpentine form. The song’s poetry is subtle but pointed, whilst musically it is layered, dynamic and unafraid to shift gears mid-stride.
Their first release under Wild Thing Records, Serum Sickness doesn’t just mark a return; it marks a transition. It’s a calculated strike after a long period of stillness. A signpost for where the band is heading: deeper, clearer, and more direct.
