If you haven’t checked out Vision Video’s latest single, "Balaclava Kiss, you’re seriously missing out! This track is an absolute gem in the modern goth rock scene and gives a sneak peek into their upcoming album, which promises to be a game changer.
The song is an incredible mix of evocative guitar riffs, driving basslines, and ethereal synths that create this lush, atmospheric soundscape. But the real showstopper here is Dusty Gannon's vocals. His voice is dripping with raw emotion and intensity, making every note hauntingly beautiful. And when Emily Fredock chimes in with her striking tone, it’s pure magic. Their harmonies are on point, blending power and delicacy in the most captivating way.
"Balaclava Kiss" isn’t just about killer instrumentals and vocals. The lyrics dive deep into the human condition, exploring themes of resistance and defiance.

Deep stuff, right?
