The songwriter and
producer of gothic electronica known as Viii has released his latest
official EP album, “Heart.” The EP album contains five original
Viii tracks for an approximate total listening time of 22 minutes. It
has been proudly published as an independent release without the
involvement of the corporate music industry on the Voodoo Creation
Records record label. Shadowy, danceable, and dripping with decadent
ambiance, “Heart” showcases Viii as one of the most intriguing
electrogoth artists of the year so far and promises that we can
expect plenty more in the years to come.
“Heart” by Viii
also includes his popular 2017 single, “Witchlust.”
New Zealand's Viii cites
as main artistic influences ✝✝✝ (Crosses), Nine Inch Nails,
Puscifer, Banks, Etta Bond, Massive Attack, and Portishead. Viii's
own sound takes elements from each of these and adds something fresh
and unique for a result unlike anything today's music fans have heard
before. With an emphasis on passionate melodies, an evocative tone,
and utter lyric earnestness, “Heart” by Viii has a little
something for every avid gothic electronica listener.
Commenting on the overall
meaning of “Heart,” Viii says, “This EP is a kind of
self-reflection upon different relationships I've had, written from
different perspectives and abstracted in different ways.”
Asked to describe his goals for “Heart,” Viii writes, “I tried to create a dynamic sound with contrasting elements to help tell some of the stories from my life over the past few years. This EP is also the first in a series of three and will pave the way for the next one, 'Mind', which will touch on some other aspects of life.”

A multi-talented music
artist, Viii gets his hands dirty in nearly every aspect of his
craft, including but not limited to photography, graphic design,
makeup, and even fashion design.
“I generally
create music with myself as the primary audience,” says Viii, who
has recently assembled a band with whom to perform live. “I
produce what I love to listen to myself. I also love to hear when
people discover my creations, so please reach out if you like what
you've discovered.”
“Heart” by Viii
on the Voodoo Creation Records label is available from over 600
quality digital music stores online worldwide now. Get in early,
gothic electronica fans.
