Album review: Void Of Vision – What I’ll Leave Behind
Melbourne metalcorers Void Of Vision go heavy, both lyrically and instrumentally, on their frank fourth record…
Melbourne metalcore crew Void Of Vision unveil new single, Gamma Knife, and announce details of their upcoming fourth album What I’ll Leave Behind.
Void Of Vision have just unleashed an incredibly intense new single, Gamma Knife.
The track details a traumatic couple of years for frontman Jack Bergin, with the vocalist explaining that it’s about “my near death experience and the desire for clarity in the aftermath”.
“To truly discover if everything I went through in the healing process would change me and everything around me for the better,” Jack says. “I felt like the idea of going through radio-surgery figuratively felt like it was not only destroying the malformation in my brain but also a negative version of myself I needed to leave in the past.”
The track is taken from the Melbourne metalcore crew’s upcoming fourth album What I’ll Leave Behind, which is due out on September 20 via UNFD, and will reflect more of this journey that Jack has been on since he suffered a seizure in January 2022 and doctors discovered a “tangle of blood vessels in his brain” – otherwise known as an arteriovenous malformation (AVM).
Jack later suffered a ruptured AVM in April of last year, spending weeks in hospital and understandably asking himself a lot of existential questions. Today, he shares that, “The album is a reflection, on and of everything; coming to terms with life and mortality, finding inner peace from within the impact crater.”
