Supervoid Post Video for “Against Sunrise”

Pittsburgh riff metallers Supervoid initially released the single “Against Sunrise” last April. In fact, you can still download it name-your-price-style from their Bandcamp. The song was recorded for inclusion in the soundtrack to the locally-produced zombie film, The Other Side, and the four-piece — who may have still been a five-piece when the track was recorded — played last Dec. at a special event for the movie, billed as “concert and a movie” the Hollywood Theater in Dormont. At the time, it was the first show Supervoid had played in six months.

Footage from that set and footage from the recording sessions for “Against Sunrise” has been put together into a new clip by Team Orchard, the production company also behind The Other Side — which is on Amazon and Playstation and iTunes and Vudu and is coming to DVD early next year with the “Against Sunrise” video as bonus material — and it gives a sense of how they work both live on stage and in the studio. Less screamed than some of Supervoid‘s material, “Against Sunrise” remains a catchy thriller with a metallic edge, and whether or not you’ve heard it in the year-plus since it was first made public, it remains worth the time.

Supervoid will take part in the next installment of Ripple Music‘s split series, The Second Coming of Heavy, sharing a vinyl release with Red Desert. Last I saw the test pressings were done, so keep an eye out for the announcement of the release date, which can’t be too far off.

Until then, enjoy:

Supervoid, “Against Sunrise” official video

Back in March of 2014 we recorded Against Sunrise to be used in a local zombie film The Other Side. The awesome production team was kind enough to record us in the studio and also our live theater performance. The video is now live on youtube, and you can watch the movie on most major on demand outlets. Big thanks to Orchard Place Productions for the video!

Supervoid Release New Track “Against Sunrise”

Posted in Whathaveyou on April 28th, 2014 by JJ Koczan

I’ve never made a zombie movie, but if I were to do such a thing, I can see the appeal of getting Pittsburgh riff metallers Supervoid involved. The double-guitar five-piece have just the right balance of metallic tone and stonerly charm — plus a decent sense of humor — to be a good fit, and they seem to bang out hooks the way I eat bowls of Peanut Butter Puffins cereal, which is daily, so yeah, it makes sense. That the flick in question, The Other Side, is filmed in and around Pittsburgh and that the soundtrack features bands all local to that area only furthers the logic involved, putting it square in the territory of the “no brainer.” Insert zombie pun here.

The film itself isn’t due until later in the year as I understand it, but being the energetic chaps they are, Supervoid have jumped the gun and made their soundtrack inclusion, “Against Sunrise” available now as a pay-what-you-want download through their Bandcamp. Those who heard their late-2013 full-length, Filaments (review here), will likely recognize the Kyuss-riff-meets-melodic-death-metal-vocal approach, no less gleefully flying in the face of trend here than it was on the last record. I like that about Supervoid, but the appeal of their songwriting also goes past whatever novelty factor one might tack to them because of the growling.

Like so:

Space cadets, aliens, fellow space riffers, here is our new track we wrote and recorded for the local Pittsburgh film The Other Side. Please share it with your friends and let us know what you think!

This song was written and recorded for the full length feature film ‘The Other Side’ created by Pittsburgh-based indie production company Orchard Place Productions. The film showcases many local Pittsburgh bands in the soundtrack. Be sure to check out the movie once it is released!
