Sydney-based nu-metal/hardcore group Deficit return with their vitriolic new single “Only God Knows.”
“Only God Knows” blends crushing, heavy riffs with confrontational, furious lyrical content. The result is an unrelenting, dark and gritty track, fusing Deficit’s hardcore edge with their groove metal foundation.
As Deficit explain:
“This is a deeply personal track that has been a long time in the making. For anyone that comes from a chaotic and dangerous upbringing with absent or neglectful parental figures, this track is about resilience, strength, and a reminder that you are not defined by the past and you are not alone.”
Forged in Western Sydney, Deficit have quickly become one of Australia’s most powerful rising metal acts, demolishing boundaries with their distinctive sound. With five EPs and millions of streams to their name, the band are proving they’re a force to be reckoned with.
The band have played on sold-out tours with acts like Ocean Sleeper, Lil Lotus (US), Alpha Wolf, Malevolence (UK), UNITYTX (US), Fit For A King (US), Boundaries (US), and Paledusk (JPN), among many others. Deficit’s live performances have become a commanding spectacle, earning them a loyal following and ever-increasing recognition from fans and industry professionals alike.
With “Only God Knows,” Deficit — comprising Nathan Newman, Macleane Ryan, Michael Campbell, Zak Borg, and Blake Fry — continue to delve deeper into the darker edges of their music, embracing the rage that lies at their core. Their evolution reflects their attitude: a rejection of polished, overproduced modernity in favour of authenticity, drawing influence from the corners of ’90s metal and nu-metal, metallic hardcore, and industrial.
The new single “Only God Knows” is out now and streaming everywhere.
