Hysteria is proud to premiere the new video by Adelaide metalcore up and comers Vault of Valor, Plague of the Earth. Watch below:



The videoclip followed direction and editing from the band. It follows the lyrics through a juxtaposition of images. The track is now available on iTunes and Spotify.

“I just love watching documentaries and after watching a Sir David Attenborough doco called ‘How many people can live on Planet Earth’, it inspired the lyrics to the song,” says guitarist Max Mawby in a statement. “The documentary is about world population and the growth of human civilisation outnumbering the number of finite resources we have to sustain such a huge number of people.

“After the documentary I began researching the topic and found inspiration in a talk given by Albert Bartlett – RIP. On exponential growth it’s listed on YouTube as the most important video you’ll ever see – and I think he raises some very interesting and logical points on the subject. We have been so eager to put this out since releasing our debut EP and I think it shows a step up in song writing ability and creativity – which we wanted to push ourselves with.”

The band made their debut in the scene in 2016. Their first EP Pathways and debut music video for the track My Sacrifice garnered much attention. They have been fulfilling CD and merch orders from all over the world, including England, Thailand, Japan, Russia, America, Belarus, Canada, Sweden and South Africa.

Late 2016 the band won Buried In Verona‘s ‘Last Leg Up’ Competition, giving them a berth on their last Australian tour. They’ve also shared stages with Capture The Crown, Foxblood, and Arkive.

They will be launching the single in Adelaide and Perth through September and October.
