Following on from their widely-praised single Odyssey, Mulubinba/Newcastle-based alternative-metal band Vilify have just released their latest unyielding cut Take The Pill.
Introduced by a gradual crescendo of menacing guitars, Take The Pill unleashes its furious potency with the inexorable vocals of Amy McIntosh at the helm, piloting a cacophony of distorted instrumentation. Unifying coercion and prowess, the song is elevated by its colossal hook and heightened by a thunderous breakdown, before cascading towards an abrupt finale.
Vilify explain the meaning behind Take The Pill: “This song is about the battle of balance between SSRIs, depression and drive. Finding the balance between what makes you feel alive but what keeps you sane. It’s about accepting different points in life that call for different plans of attack. What worked for you once might not work next time and that is ok. Always striving to be better is what’s important even if it feels unattainable at times.”
To celebrate the release, Vilify will be supporting Gravemind at the beloved Naarm/Melbourne venue Stay Gold in April. This comes off the back of performing at multiple Emo Nights and BONEZ Alternative Queer Party shows, and having recently shared the stage with Paledusk (JPN), Northlane, RedHook, Void of Vision, Erra, Diamond Construct, Patient Sixty-Seven and Nicolas Cage Fighter.
