"APATHY” BY VOID MATTER: A RAW SURGE OF MODERN METALCORE
In the crowded landscape of modern metalcore, Brisbane’s Void Matter emerges as a force to be reckoned with on their latest single “Apathy” – a track that grabs you by the throat and refuses to let go.
From the moment the first riff tears through the speakers, it’s clear this isn’t just another run-of-the-mill metalcore offering. The songwriting duo of Luke Thompson and Michael Delaney have crafted something special here, masterfully balancing brutality with beauty. The verses hit like a sledgehammer, while the choruses soar with an almost ethereal quality that showcases the band’s remarkable range.
What truly sets this track apart is its emotional depth. The vocals dance between guttural rage and vulnerable clean passages, perfectly capturing the song’s themes of emotional detachment. Guitar virtuosos Aaron Dixey and Alexander Cadiz create a rich tapestry of sound, their interplay adding layers of complexity that reveal themselves with each listen.
The production deserves special mention – it’s crisp and modern while maintaining the raw energy that makes metalcore so compelling. Each instrument has room to breathe in the mix, from the pummeling drums to the intricate guitar work.
With over 10,000 streams in its first month, “Apathy” is clearly striking a chord with listeners. It’s a testament to Void Matter’s ability to push boundaries while keeping their sound accessible. This Brisbane quintet has thrown down the gauntlet with this release, and if this is any indication of what’s to come, Void Matter is a band to watch!
