Void Of Vision‘s track “Blood For Blood” has made its way online complemented by a visualizer video. The Aussie metalcore outfit will have that song included on their fourth studio album, “What I’ll Leave Behind“, due out September 20th on UNFD. Vocalist Jack Bergin weighed in on the song, offering:
“I entered a phase viewing music as a literal bloodsport. We were losing close friends to suicide, dealing with our own mental health struggles internally, and losing support from those around us all, as I was completely off the map dealing with my own health issues.
Everything was an uphill battle and I had to tackle it while navigating through the criticism and unwanted feedback from an over-privileged ‘fanbase’ who seems to care more about the drama than they ever did about the music alone.
The modern-day pressures of sustaining a career in music while honoring our creative processes and maintaining our well-being practices are becoming harder and harder as how we consume art continuously shifts, but I really don’t think people who DON’T create will ever understand that.
As long as the disconnect exists, I will continue to struggle to relate or sympathize for those who couldn’t care less, and I’m exhausted trying to.”
