The collaboration comes as part of a Metal Hammer compilation CD paired with the magazine’s special Slipknot edition last month. The likes of Cursed Earth (‘People=Shit’), Hacktivist (‘Duality’) and Employed To Serve (‘Purity’) also lend their skills to the CD, resulting in an absolutely pummelling compilation of covers.

Though an appreciation for Slipknot spawned later in his musical journey, Void Of Vision lead vocalist Jack Bergin explains that he immediately became hooked on the unique quality and sheer aggression of the collective. With ‘Psychosocial’ cemented as a personal favourite, it only seemed natural that the band would choose this to sink their teeth into.

On recording the cover, Bergin adds: “When we got the offer from Metal Hammer we were at the final stages of finishing our album ‘Hyperdaze’ and the lethargy was kicking in – a small refresher in the form of recording this cover definitely helped bring back the passion and energy to the final process of the record. 

“The whole idea for the collaboration stemmed from us wanting to build on what was shaping up to be a normal run of the mill cover, and to catch some attention and have as much fun with it as we could. We also wanted to show the UK/Europe how a group of Australian musicians could tackle such an undoubtedly influential song to each and every one of us.

“I think we organised it all in literally a day, everyone was that keen to jump in on it that the rest of the story just wrote itself. We get to tour with friend’s bands through music all the time, but getting to work with them on the recording aspect of it is a whole new level of satisfying.”

Hyperdaze is due for release via UNFD on Friday September 13, with lead single and video ‘Hole In Me’ out now. Atop the release, Void Of Vision will thrash stages in Australia, Europe and the UK in support of Northlane, as well as take to Heaven And Hell Festival alongside the likes of The Amity Affliction, Crossfaith, Underoath, Make Them Suffer and Trophy Eyes.
