After nearly five years of solemn solitude, Dyssidia resurface with ‘Serum Sickness’, a tightly-coiled, venom-laced single that signals the rebirth of one of Australia’s most distinct progressive metal voices.
At once cryptic and visceral, ‘Serum Sickness’ hints at the disorientation of misplaced trust; the slow unraveling of reverence into suspicion. It captures the moment when what once appeared as guidance takes on a more serpentine form. The song’s poetry is subtle but pointed, whilst musically it is layered, dynamic and unafraid to shift gears mid-stride.
Mitch Brackman leads with a vocal performance that blends control with abandon, navigating moments of ghostly restraint and explosive release. Behind him, the band executes with precision, wrapping technical passages in atmosphere and tension without ever losing sight of the emotional core.
Brackman adds; ‘Serum Sickness’ is the beginning of something sharper, more dangerous, and far more honest.”

Their first release under Wild Thing Records, ‘Serum Sickness’ doesn’t just mark a return, it marks a transition. It’s a calculated strike after a long period of stillness. A signpost for where the band is heading: deeper, clearer, and more direct.
