VANISHING POINT have never been a band to rush the process. Their albums arrive when the time is right, even if that means years pass between releases. But when one of Australia’s most respected melodic metal bands finally returns with new music, it is always an event.
Six years after “Dead Elysium” marked their triumphant comeback following another extended absence, VANISHING POINT are back once again. Their seventh studio album, “Eremition”, is set for worldwide release on November 20, with the Melbourne melodic metal veterans now offering the first taste of the record through the new single “Bring Me The Night”.
Guitarist Chris Porcianko says of the first track: “‘Bring Me The Night’ is about not letting other people’s negative emotions and actions steer your direction in life. It’s high energy, heavy and very melodic, with a big ’80s AOR influence, all presented in the characteristic VANISHING POINT style”.
Porcianko adds: “For us as a band, it’s always been quality over quantity. When the quality is there, that’s when it’s the right time to put it out into the world. We feel we owe it to ourselves and to our fans everywhere to bring something truly special to light, something that sits perfectly within the long legacy that VANISHING POINT has.
“‘Eremition’ is in many ways an album about loss, gain, realization, understanding, letting go and moving forward without holding onto the negative energies that sometimes complicate our lives. We hope that these songs bring a little solace and connection to all our incredible fans out there.”
