Since their burst onto the scene nearly eight years ago, Australian metal favourites Void Of Vision have used their platform as a projection of anger, apathy, darkness and despair. Whether faithful fan or peripheral onlooker, the band’s previous recorded, visual and live performance elements made their bleak sentiments clear for anyone to see.

CHRONICLES I: LUST – the group’s newly announced EP due to drop this Friday – smashes this perception.
On a granular level LUST discusses topics including mental health and music (heard on recent single ‘THE LONELY PEOPLE’), confronting relationship breakdowns (‘GOTHIKA’), and a culture of predatory and abusive men in the music industry as discussed on today’s single ‘VAMPYR’. The EP’s visuals – intentionally stark, true-tone black and white – speak to the personal grappling and growth vocalist Jack Bergin experienced during its writing, symbolising the “seeing it for what it is”, plain in black and white, reality that he encountered.
Speaking more in-depth about the release of ‘VAMPYR’, Jack shares that it reflects on a collective process of disappointment turned disgust concerning the music industry’s history of toxic behaviour towards women.
“We are all a part of the mission to fight against the inappropriate behaviour in the Australian music industry, every one of us.

While visible changes are now happening to shift the horrible behaviour within our environment, it is still a deep rooted culture problem that needs to be ripped out from underneath the surface,” he says. “It all comes down to how we all collectively act upon these situations in our respective fields, we simply cannot allow anyone to continue abusing their power in a way that is harmful to women.
“I know for a fact that I have stood idle before amongst a world full of dangerous men and their sycophants that will do whatever it takes to protect their unstable world… but this isn’t about me, this is about how much more we can all be doing in our positions to actively create a safe space for women. You can neglect accountability or wake up and ask yourself how it is all still happening in this day and age.”
