The year is 2021, the planets population slowly awakens from its enforced sedation and the excitement of normality throbs in the hearts of music fans everywhere. Leeds based HIGH VISIONS are breaking their silence with a brand new single, SERENITY GONE, a highly charged celebration of their musical evolution.
Due of the effects of the pandemic, the band produced the track themselves from bedrooms and practice rooms, as well as directing and edited the music video. The finished mix and master comes from Dom Wright from The Ranch Production House (Creeper/Gnarwolves).
Zyggy (bass) talks about the band and the new singles release:
“High Visions have always been a band that have strived to break free from boundaries of genre and convention, from when we started playing together half a decade ago until today. For me, ‘Serenity Gone’ feels like a culmination of all the influences we’ve pulled together so far – a ferocious blend of catchy choruses and pummeling guitar work that transcends both the music we’ve made so far and the styles we’ve been known to cross in our music. After a year of silence, we unreservedly feel this is the perfect storm to come back with!“
SERENITY GONE is available on all major platforms now, go and experience it at Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon and Youtube.

Alex (Drums) breaks down where the High Visions sound and ethos comes from:
“I feel with every release we push ourselves to develop our sound further, bringing in more outside influences and heading in a more interesting, more technical, heavier direction.
To me, Serenity Gone is the epitome of those developments so far, with the hardcore and metal influenced side of the band coming through the strongest it ever has, without losing the catchy hooks or the classic skate punk energy we’re known for. It’s one of our most memorable, concise, hard hitting songs, and I think it’s the perfect track to reintroduce ourselves as we begin to play live shows again!“
Elaborating, Louis (Guitar/Vox) describes their roots and how that has affected their sound:
“The beauty of the early 00’s skate punk/pop punk era is that the music transcended traditional scenes and became some of the most popular releases of the time. Serenity Gone takes heavy influences from this time, keeping the pop hooks in but pushing the boundaries of how heavy a track of this nature can get.
We wanted to throw the rulebook out not only with genre, but with structure and harmony as well.“
