008 Deadlights' New Album, The Uncanny Valley Pit Fiend

PIT FIEND DISCORD discord.link/pitfiend COME ARGUE WITH ME

--

My memory of Deadlights is from my days as a starving uni student, moshing to metalcore sets at midnight at Snitch and Thriller full of five dollar drinks. Deadlights were a staple support for a lot of the heavy bands that came through Brisbane, and I always had fun at their shows, but there were a lot of good support bands at that time. It’s hard to pick which bands will make it and which won’t, especially since being really good does not a successful band make. This means that Deadlights have been around for a while, at least as early as 2012 that I remember, though they only signed with Greyscale in 2017. Off of the massive success of their debut album on Greyscale, they… continued to be a solid local support band. Remember, Deadlights were also the headline act at the all ages show I discovered Stepson and Days Like These at, and it was organised by vocalist Dylan Davidson. It seemed entirely within reason that they never wanted to see serious national success. They released a couple of singles in 2019, but didn’t seem to show any inclination that a blow up was imminent.
