ARTIFACT - REQIUEM

Bleeding Art Collective in partnership with Blood Blast Distribution are pleased to release the new single and visualiser 'Requiem' by Australian modern metalcore rising stars Artifact.

Mixed and mastered by Lance Prenc (Polaris, Alpha Wolf) with videography by Gavin Sykes at Tiltshift Visual, the new song is the lead single from the band's forthcoming EP 'Umbra'.

Commenting on the single, vocalist Rebecca Horseman offers:

'“Requiem was the first song Hayden brought to life for this EP, but one of the last we touched on lyrically. We’d lived with the sound of it for a long time before the words came, and when Michael & I finally picked a lyrical theme - we told a story about the kind of long-term connections that shape (and sometimes scar) us. It’s about the subtle ways someone can poison you over time, whether through control, neglect, or projections, and the daily fight to dig yourself free once you have the clarity of hindsight and start processing how deeply it caused changes in you. We wanted it to be universal - something listeners could pin to any relationship that’s left its mark on them, whether it's family, friends or partners.”

Guitarist and song writer Hayden Rapley further comments:

“The inspiration for Requiem kind of came from me being in a bad place with a lot of inner turmoil and the internal battles that I was facing, and that charged the song with a lot of punchiness as I just wanted to play what I was feeling”

With an impressive run of shows with acts such as Northlane, Windwaker, Volumes, Of Virtue, Sienna Skies and more, the band will also soon be undertaking their first ever international tour in Asia, performing in Vietnam and Taiwan and featuring on Jam Jam Asia Music Festival.
