Viruette celebrates decay in latest single ‘DEADTOOTH’
marked by a sense of melancholy and self-discovery,” shared frontman Harry Bee with Vanyaland. “However, we have come to realize that we may not possess the depth of soul that was previously thought. Embracing this revelation, we are content to exist in the void, living in the moment rather than dwelling on it. ‘DEADTOOTH’ is our opportunity to display a new side of ourselves, one that exudes confidence and playfulness.”
The track “DEADTOOTH” revels in its eponymous decay, injecting sharp lyrics like “I’ve got days to live / And a week to kill” into a sound that defies the traditional expectations of what a song devoid of depth might be.
Viruette’s ability to transform perceived emptiness into an asset is a unique perspective. While many might dismiss music as shallow if it lacks a profound emotional connection, the band’s inclination to forge powerful rock from this apparent void challenges such notions.
Released just last week on May 2, “DEADTOOTH” follows the band’s 2024 album, Your Lacuna. The previous record was characterized by introspection and searching, but the band’s growth and evolution are evident in their latest release.
In discussing “DEADTOOTH,” Harry Bee’s words poignantly echo the band’s new outlook. They have shifted from a place of introspection and soul-searching to one of self-assuredness and boldness. Choosing to embrace their newfound perception of the void, they offer an energetic performance that captivates and enthralls.
“DEADTOOTH” showcases an unconventional embrace of the perceived emptiness, extracting creativity and power from what some might dismiss as a lack of depth. The band’s innovative approach challenges the notion that music needs to be steeped in emotional weight to be impactful.
Viruette’s latest single and accompanying music video are a testament to their ability to subvert expectations and redefine what it means to create music that resonates with listeners. By embracing the void and breathing life into it, they have created a dynamic and compelling work that is both thought-provoking and engaging.
As “DEADTOOTH” continues to make waves in the music scene, it stands as a testament to Viruette’s ability to navigate uncharted waters and emerge with a sound that is uniquely their own. Through their audacious exploration of the void, they have solidified themselves as a band to watch in the ever-evolving landscape of rock music.
