vide predicts “Tomorrow Will Be Worse”, splays 90s shoegaze with post-punk on haunting new single
(FROM THE SWAMPS OF LOUISIANA & TEXAS // APRIL 18TH, 2025) Heavy outfit vide has released a second single from their upcoming EP.
“Tomorrow Will Be Worse” is taken from the band’s new collection decorated in spiderweb, set for release on May 2nd.
Nodding to the likes of Darkthrone, My Bloody Valentine and Joyless, an aura of 90s shoegaze ambience serves as a fitting tonic to the macabre swamp-infested horror of vide’s deliciously blackened metal.
Speaking on the new track, front person Nobody shares: “This track was mostly inspired by Darkthrone and Big Black. I was listening to these heavily around the time of recording. I was aiming for something primitive with a slightly industrial vibe.”
With the release of 2020 debut Hanging By The Bayou Light, vide emerged from the shadows surreptitiously, but with a bold and expansive sound, dipping into a unique palette of heavy devices.
In the three years that followed, two more full-length albums – Death Roll and The Parish – would see the light of day along with Beneath The Unholy, a nightmare-ish 8-track Split EP with Frank Iero’s side project BLOODNUN.
Conveying a dexterous array of influence, spanning shoegaze, dark wave and post-punk, vide’s sonic output takes you on an anguish-laden journey. The tortured ethereality of the tracks is dealt a jarring wake up by the potent punk-edged percussion, bringing resonance that will mesmerize as much as it terrifies.
Having been named in CVLT Nation’s Top 10 Black Metal Albums of The Year on two occasions, fans of the genre are set for yet another captivating offering, with vide’s upcoming collection decorated in spiderweb.
“Tomorrow Will Be Worse” marries booming bass lines and ominous metallic tones. vide’s grim aesthetic is directed masterfully through the new track. As ethereal and atmospheric as the tracks remain through the ambient swirls of melody. There’s a morbid ethereality that contrasts with the swirling melodic catharsis born from vide’s shoegaze sway.
