VERATIE Unlocks Raw Emotion with Hard-Hitting New Single “The Door”

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 “The Door” on the 16th of July 2025, the fifth single from their upcoming debut album release – IN//HUMAN. This concept album thematically revolves around the intersection of humanity, society, machine and divine.  Amassing almost 20K Spotify streams on their previous releases , Veratie are a rising force in the heavy music scene.

Front woman and lead songwriter Sarah describes their upcoming track, The Door as an “An emotional gut-punch.  It’s not pretty, but it’s real”. The Door is Veratie’s hardest hitting song yet, marking a new level of raw authenticity in their songwriting. Taking over three years to write due to it’s emotional weight, this song highlights the band’s commitment to deliver no-holds-barred truth in their music.

The lyrics centre around a locked door, a metaphor for the barrier between a child and their parent. The passionate, harmony-rich vocals, countered by punchy rap, powerfully delivers themes of misunderstanding, generational trauma and hope. Combined with the tension created by moody synth and down tuned guitars, The Door  will move you to your core. 

The Door was recorded, mixed and produced with James See at Airlock Studios in Brisbane and mastered by Steve Smart at Studio 301 in Sydney. 

The Door is set to release on the 16th of July 2025 across all major platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, Apple iTunes, YouTube Music, Amazon Music & Tidal.
