VIPASSI have been carefully unlocking a mystery. The Australian quartet’s new album, Lightless, explores all sorts of twisted phenomena, from the hooded ritual of “Phainesthai” to the distorted maze of “Labyrinthine Hex“.
Today, these instrumental seekers are turning their all-seeing eye toward the future on new single “Morningstar”.

“Morningstar” gazes into an uncertain vision of the future. The song is blown open from the inside-out by a fretless low end that’s warped and bottomless as a black hole.
“A terrifying glimpse of the world beyond, visions of the future and its potential”. That’s how drummer Dan Presland describes his band’s new single.
The breakdown is heavy, with blast beats that whirl by like asteroids. But on “Morningstar”, VIPASSI reach somewhere beyond the celestial. The way the dissonant riff floats through an eerie glint of synth will make you see more than stars.
“‘Morningstar’ is the true beginning of the spark that propels us through the album’s journey toward its haunting finale”, the band says.
It’s no wonder that VIPASSI can spin epic stories without uttering a word. As a purely instrumental band, they’re blessed with a telepathic chemistry.
Watch as they weave as one through this playthrough of recent single “Labyrinthine Hex”.
