The Veer Union Releases New Single 'Welcome To Dystopia' Featuring Silent Theory Collaboration
The Veer Union has released their latest single, "Welcome To Dystopia," featuring a collaboration with Silent Theory. This powerful track serves as the title song for their upcoming ninth album, set to be released on December 27, 2024
"Welcome To Dystopia" is a socially conscious melodic metal song that addresses the chaotic state of the world, driven by rapidly advancing technology. The track showcases propulsive guitars and thunderous drums, maintaining a relentless heavy rhythm throughout. Crispin Earl of The Veer Union explains the song's theme: "For the past 40 years, technological advancements in robotics have integrated into our daily lives. As governments worldwide hasten to incorporate robotics into military and law enforcement uses, it is crucial for humanity to remain vigilant and informed about the capabilities, potential consequences and the agendas of those in charge of these technologies".
The collaboration with Silent Theory brought an exciting dynamic to the track. Dakota Jerns of Silent Theory describes his contribution: "This song feels like a statement from the point of view of a spectator watching the world burn. When I heard Crispin's parts, I took them as someone not recognizing the world they once knew and reluctantly coming to terms with this new reality"/
"Welcome To Dystopia" is the third single from the themed album, following the recent hits "Empirical" and "Is This How It Ends?"124. The song continues The Veer Union's tradition of addressing societal issues and technological progress through their music, further cementing their reputation for tackling complex topics in the rock music scene.
The Vancouver-based Hard Rock/Metal band has been making waves since their first independent album release in 2006. With 12 Top 40 Singles on the Billboard Rock Radio Charts, over 180 million streams worldwide, and 10 million cumulative video views on YouTube, The Veer Union has established a strong presence in the rock music landscape.
Fans can look forward to hearing "Welcome To Dystopia" and other tracks from the upcoming album when The Veer Union embarks on their North American tour in spring 2025, with dates to be announced in the first quarter of the year.
