• Get Your Fix of "Zerotonin" From VICTORIA LIES' New Music Video

  May 6, 2025 Fistoffreedom 0 Comments

   

  Pushing the boundaries of its genre with thought-provoking lyrics, heavy grooves, and graceful technicality, by integrating unexpected elements and focusing on what serves the song rather than individual egos, Calgary, AB metalcore band Victoria Lies always aims to deliver a fresh and compelling sound. Formed in 2023, they have released a series of singles, “Trial By Fire” (May 2024) and “...Ready for it?” (December 2024) to introduce themselves to the Canadian metal scene and beyond. Currently working on their first full-length to be released later in 2025, the quintet has one more standalone single to unveil in preparation for upcoming dates at Gatorfest (Calgary, AB) and Decimate Metal Fest (Millet, AB) (listed below).

  Entitled "Zerotonin", the song is about the feeling you get when drugs stop working. You keep reaching for a high that was once attainable and no longer through the means and chemicals you put into your body, yet you keep doing it because if you stop, it will be much worse.

  The comments on the track:

  "Zerotonin is a play on the word serotonin, only being the opposite of the former. The struggle with watching your body slowly break down while swallowing that next pill, because you might die if you don’t. Recording this song was a very special project for us, as we had recorded it several years ago, but it just fell flat. We did not give this song the love and attention it needed. So when the opportunity came up to go into the studio with our producer and finally give it that injection of passion and attention to detail, we all jumped at the chance. We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it for you!"

  Recommended for Northlane, Bad Omens, Of Mice and Men, August Burns Red, In Flames, "Zerotonin" can be heard at the following links:

• Dive Deep Into Immersive Swancore With VICTORIA LIES’ New Video “Trial By Fire”

  May 22, 2024 Fistoffreedom 0 Comments

  Victoria Lies, the electrifying new Canadian metalcore band emerging from the remains of From the Flame, is now releasing their latest video single “Trial By Fire”. This release marks the debut of the band's invigorated lineup, featuring Brett Hetherington on vocals, Nick Shyrokov on drums, Chris Kohler and Rory Fitzsimmons on guitars, and Jay Powell on bass. They comment on the single:

  “This one came together so beautifully, there was no resistance from the song at all. It just kept coming and coming. It started with Jay and I (Rory) in the studio trying to come up with anything to help move the album writing along. The start was the hardest part because you’re starting with a completely blank canvas and zero direction on where to go. Eventually, Jay dug up an old riff he had from his days in Florida, he gave the riff to me, I put my spin on it and we finally had our start! From that moment we were off to the races.”

  The artwork for “Trial By Fire” is as provocative as the music itself. Based on the striking opening line of the song, “Who brings a fucking gun to a wedding?”, the artwork is a close-up of a distressed bride, hinting at a larger, dramatic narrative that unfolds in the accompanying lyric video that can be viewed via its premiere on TheCirclePit.
