Metalcore band based in Melbourne, Australia
This is Vatic. From Melbourne, Australia, the five-piece metalcore outfit have spent the last year and a half establishing themselves as the underdogs of the heavy scene. Playing shows alongside prominent acts like Thornhill, The Gloom In The Corner, Foxblood, and Wither, they have consistently delivered stellar live performances coated with precision and poise. After dropping their debut EP Inhibition in 2019, they are back with their brand new single, “Departure”, and they are ready to step in and take over.
“Departure” demonstrates the musical development of Vatic, as they tighten the screws on everything you’ve heard from them before. The instrumentals and vocals work fluently to create an atmosphere of dread, pain, and anxiety. Suspense and tension consistently linger in the verses, as “Departure” builds to each chorus and breakdown with satisfying intensity. Heaviness is built through the misery and panic of the lyrics, which are supported by the hard-hitting instrumentals that close out the song in dramatic fashion.
