Vision Video releases third album ‘Modern Horror’ – Out now
Vision Video
The Athens, GA-based post-punk band Vision Video has released its third album, “Modern Horror” which holds 11 tracks. The album is available now via Bandcamp and other platforms.
Produced by Ben Allen (known for his work with Erasure, Animal Collective, and Deerhunter) and mastered at Abbey Road Studios by Frank Arkwright (The Smiths, New Order, Joy Division), thematically the album explores the unsettling realities of today’s world.
The album was introduced through three singles—”Stay”, “In My Side (Modern Horror Version)”, and “Dead Gods”, the latter critiquing the violent dogma and authoritarianism that often dominate global narratives.
Fronted by Dusty Gannon and keyboardist Emily Fredock, Vision Video brings raw goth rock. Gannon, an Afghanistan war veteran and former firefighter-paramedic, channels his experiences into the themes of “Modern Horror” and is much darker than their previous works, such as “Inked in Red” (2021) and “Haunted Hours” (2022).
Gannon has openly discussed the album’s themes, saying, “I see regression happening all over the world. We’re watching the failure of systems like capitalism and religious fundamentalism, and it’s causing unnecessary hardships. This record is my way of addressing these issues and urging for change.” He continues, “Modern Horror is a reflection of the atrocities that we’re witnessing today, but it’s also a call for people to confront these horrors head-on, just as you would face a monster in a horror film.”
