Brisbane metal outfit Revoid are gearing up to welcome their debut EP Sleepless Still into 2022 on Friday April. As a taste of what’s to come, the band share their fiery video for the driving new single Gloomsayer, which can be seen below.
Teaming up with Mark Williamson of Keywork Audio (Inertia, Closure, Keepsake) to engineer the release as well as welcoming Kris Crummett (Dance Gavin Dance, Hail The Sun, Sleeping With Sirens) to master, Revoid have set a new standard for themselves. For fans of Architects, Polaris and Wage War, Sleepless Still is a glaring, personal insight into modern society, and the coping mechanisms adopted to make it through.
Gloomsayer is the leading single off of the forthcoming EP and is about people who only seem to impart unhelpful platitudes in the face of distress, loss and disconnect.
“‘Look on the bright side’, ‘Maybe just sleep on it, things will be better’, ‘just pray about it’; personally, I believe it irresponsible to dismiss such powerful lessons with idle banalities so casually, and it shows an insane lack of accountability,” explains vocalist Dale Dudeson.
“Everything we experience in our tiny lifespans is far more important than to simply be ignored or bypassed like that, and there is an opportunity to learn in every good and bad experience, however beautiful or hopeless.”
