Perth’s own Our Demise return from the shadows with a vengeance, unleashing the devastating force that is their new single “Vile Embrace.” After supporting Thrown, Half Me, and Diesect, and over a year since their debut EP Insidious, the band re-emerges with sharpened teeth and a darker vision.
Premiering with a gripping visual on Slam Worldwide, “Vile Embrace” is a sonic sledgehammer that blends the punishing weight of Deathcore with the adrenaline of Metalcore. But beyond its brutality lies a layer of bleak emotion — a melancholic tone that sets this release apart from the band’s previous work.
Vocalist Cody Bennett pulls no punches lyrically, describing depression as a parasitic creature that clings to the soul: “Although you are tearing yourself apart trying to get rid of it, no matter how hard you try, it sticks with you forever.” That raw vulnerability bleeds through every second of the track.
From the first guttural scream to the final crash of cymbals, “Vile Embrace” is a full-on assault. The guitar work is razor sharp, the breakdowns are catastrophic, and the rhythm section keeps things tight and thunderous. The song constantly moves — blasting into up-tempo two-step sections, only to swing back with riffs that return slower and even nastier than before. You’ll make that face the meme entails, and this is the soundtrack to it.
With excellent production, dynamic pacing, and soul-crushing heaviness, “Vile Embrace” solidifies Our Demise as a band not just to watch, but to brace yourself for. Fans of Whitechapel, Spite, and Alpha Wolf will feel right at home in this storm — and they’ll likely want to stay a while.
