Brisbane metalcore outfit UNI/VS offer up their latest single A Chosen Death and accompany the news with the announcement of their ‘A Chosen Death’ Australian Tour that will run across the East Coast through October and November.
Their first release of the year, A Chosen Death is a ripping return from the quartet, moving through chugging moments, violent vocals and passionate cleans to balance. Produced, mixed and mastered by Garath Hargreaves (Wildheart, Young Lions), the latest single explores life post-pandemic, and analyses the increasingly unhinged and polarised views being fed to the public through traditional media.
“We wanted to pose the question ‘Can we really trust the narrative of our elected leaders or that of whomever is pulling their strings?” tells the band. “We hope to invite critical thought and observation as well as hope that if we all speak our truth things may get better.”
The four-piece will launch their new single live at five dates across Australia this October and November. Presented by Stronghold Booking and joined by special guests st.sinner, the tour will rip through The Valley Loft in Brisbane on October 4, The Burdekin Hotel in Sydney on October 12, La La La’s in Wollongong on October 13, Laundry Bar in Melbourne on November 2 and will wrap at Crown & Anchor in Adelaide on November 3.
UNI/VS is the the formidable force of Scott Willis (vocals), Michael Ryan (guitar/vocals), Nik Sudweeks (drums) and Shaw Schmidt (bass). Formed in the heart of Brisbane in 2017, UNI/VS quickly emerged as a force to be reckoned with in the Australian heavy music scene. With their relentless passion, uncompromising sound, and an unwavering commitment to their craft, the dynamic metalcore ensemble has earned their reputation as one of Brisbane’s most exciting and enduring musical acts. Their unique blend of melodic hooks, bone-crushing breakdowns, and introspective lyricism set them apart from the crowd, forging the path that led them to where they stand today.
Since their inception, they have racked up hundreds of thousands of digital streams and counting and have travelled around Australia sharing their pummelling blend of metalcore with listeners old and new. They have toured with the likes of Volumes (US), Gravemind, Patient Sixty-Seven, Crooked Royals (NZ) and more, and can’t wait to get back out on the road with new music to share.
