2022, Australia.
The Music industry flounders once again under the weight of cancelled and postponed shows and festivals, and hospitality, front-line and entertainment industries struggle to find staff under the increasing number of cases of COVID, while Hillsong Church flouts all COVID-19 safety guidelines and rules and throws a “camp” that includes a festival-style concert and no social distancing and free Rapid Antigen Tests, with seemingly little to no consequence. The Prime Minister of Australia, a member of that same Church, offers little to no comment.
It is this hypocrisy of religion and the frustration and anger that it brings, that sees Vilify release this new song, Veils of Grey. Vilify want everyone to know that they do not believe in any religion that is exclusionary, who divides, who takes, who punishes. Vilify aim to target unjust social issues that continue to slip through the cracks of society’s attention, offering a sense of hope – and to inspire people to question the worth that religion brings into their lives and society.
Check out the song below.
