Australian heavy outfit Villa Morta have pulled no punches with their recent single The Abstract.
The track highlights the maturing side of Villa Morta’s music, helped in part by a professional production team that enabled the band to pull from parts of their musical psyche that hadn’t been tested before.
The Abstract comes with a thoughtful video clip which sees the band exploring their own unique personal experiences and the notion that each person has a different perception to the world around them.
Vocalist Mosh and guitarist Masa joined HEAVY earlier this week to talk about the new single and more.
“I’m personally a big Northlane fan,” Masa replied when asked to describe The Abstract musically, “so there’s definitely a lot of influence for me in the type of riffs I like to write. But I also do the metalcore riffs, so I was definitely trying to blend all of the different elements that I like from a bunch of different areas of metal into a track. There’s a lot of new things we’re writing, but it’s all part of the process for me and figuring out the ways that work for me in writing the songs and putting it all together.”
In the full interview, the boys talk more about the structure of The Abstract, making the music video, the benefits of using a professional production team, if The Abstract is part of a bigger musical picture, changing with the times, their upcoming single launch party at Stay Gold in Melbourne and more.
