Alternative metal band Vonavibe drop new ‘Left for Dead’ single and music video

May 30, 2023 (New York City) – Just four days after the release of their new full-length album Bleed to Life, alt-metal rockers Vonavibe just revealed another new music video, this entitled “Left for Dead”. This is the third music video taken from their new full-length album Bleed to Life which was released on May 26, 2023 via Eclipse Records. The video was directed by Peggy Psarrou. The album was produced by Dyon and mastered by John Christodoulatos at Sweetspot Productions.

“Earth and mankind’s actions regarding the environment have always been a major issue the last decades, especially among artists.” says lead vocalist and guitarist Dyon. “Taking into consideration the song’s meaning we set out to find an environment that could accommodate this narrative. This is how the idea of shooting a video within a home took place. A home is something sacred, much like our planet. Taking it and transforming it, with the help of our friends, into something cold was the best recipe for achieving the perfect metaphor. Left For Dead is a song about Earth’s perception regarding human actions. The way humans have taken over a place, a planet, a home and have feasted upon its resources. The video is purely a resemblance, full of metaphors. Vonavibe represents humanity, while Grandma is The Earth and the house is its habitat. Vonavibe have taken over and transformed it into something dark and unearthly with hints of light occurring from time to time. Yet the earth sits quietly, perhaps with a cup of tea, knowing that no matter what, Earth will always prevail. Humans are merely guests…”

The new album by Vonavibe is entitled Bleed To Life. The band’s third release contains ten amazing songs and was released on May 26, 2023. Bleed to Life is an album that redefines the sound barrier, at least in terms of raw power. We often informally refer to that massive rhythm guitar, bass, and percussion vibe as a “Wall of Sound,” and the first bands that come to mind are Black Sabbath and Metallica. More veritably, the “Wall of Sound” was introduced in the 1960s by record producer Phil Spector, who invented a dense orchestral studio aesthetic made of layering, echo, spill, and mono. Currently, Vonavibe have sonically restructured this idea, and Bleed to Life does not simply give us a “Wall.” It builds us a grand fortress. Besides the addictive hooks, intricate dynamics, clever drum pattering, and diverse vocals, the guitar interplay on Bleed to Life, is exceptional. Part of this is a result of the technical production, writing, and studio performances, but more viscerally, it feels to the listener like becoming a tidal wave, a volcano, a hurricane, pick your simile. Of course, rhythm chords and repetitive riffing are often used as mere background to the verses, choruses, and platform solos, but Vonavibe create a world where the rhythm guitar is unique like a “vocalist,” with the lead guitar becoming an exotic superhero.
