VERATIE Unleashes ‘Sirens’: A Hauntingly Powerful Anthem of Grief and Resilience
VERATIE (pronounced veh-ruh-tee) are an alt-rock / nu-metal band, based in Southeast Queensland. Formed in 2021 by lead singer-songwriter Sarah and guitarist-beatmaker Connor, VERATIE overlays evocative melodic and rap vocals over an intricate soundscape of synth, heavy guitars and relentless rhythm. They have already supported names such as The Halo Effect (Europe), Beyond the Black (Europe), Redhook, Devilskin (New Zealand), Lagerstein, Krave and more.
VERATIE are set to release their latest single “Sirens” on the 19th of February 2025, the third single from their upcoming debut album release – IN//HUMAN. This concept album thematically revolves around the intersection of humanity, society, machine and divine.
Front woman and lead songwriter Sarah describes Sirens as an “emotive & melodically rich track”. Sirens is deeply personal for the pair, born from their shared experience of grief. The central siren metaphor of the song is extended to represent all that ensnares us. Lead vocalist Sarah’s haunting, emotion-soaked tones float above a multi-textured backdrop of swelling strings & eerie synth. The insistent drum section paired with punchy powerchords drive the song, right up to its resounding conclusion.
“Powerhouse, guitar driven, kickass rock n roll, blending seamlessly with a haunting vocal…I was hooked from the 1st chord !!
-Dennis Dunstan, Frontrow Management, Former Manager of Fleetwood Mac
Sirens was recorded, mixed and produced with James See at Airlock Studios in Brisbane and mastered by Steve Smart at Studio 301 in Sydney.
Sirens is set to release on the 19th of February 2025 across all major platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, Apple iTunes, YouTube Music, Amazon Music & Tidal.
