With themes circling around fear, spirituality, strength, passion and rebirth New Jersey band and Hardcore Darkwave pioneers, Neon Funeral have released their new single “A Void”. The song addresses the notion of taking control of your demons and addictions before it ends in tragedy.
With a narrator that is the void the song explores the idea that“someone so stuck in their ways, who is unwilling to change and wont submit to societal pressures and goes against the grain of normality”, eventually ends up succumbing to their demons and “ultimately becomes the demon” according to the band.
“A Void” plunges the listener into a hypnotic fugue like state of melancholic inner monologue vocals interspersed with transmuting bursts of growling, gritty, taunting vocals. With a somniferous beat that builds to a cacophonous delectable crescendo ultimately plunging the listener into a rampant and impending void.
The single has a metaphorically satisfying accompanying video that has the bands front man Randy hallucinating a dark cult figure whose cult he joins, with the video brazenly questioning the human mind, society and its ensuing pressures as well as the dark paths one may find themselves lost on. The video explores the notion of one actually being responsible for darkening their own light in life.
Take a step towards “A Void” and you will be doused by its dark melancholy and its ultimate enlightenment.
