New Beginnings With SHAOLIN G From UNITY TX

New Beginnings With SHAOLIN G From UNITY TX

Interview by Kris Peters
While it came as no surprise when Void of Vision announced their swansong with the What I'll Leave Behind Australian Tour 2025, the impending sense of loss was still evident.
Due to frontman Jack Bergin's recent health problems no-one could argue with the band's decision to call it a day, but the band's legacy and indelible mark on the global music scene will have to serve as a reminder for future generations.
Not content to merely throw a farewell party, Void Of Vision have invited some international guests to the party as well, with Japan's Knosis, and Gideon plus Unity TX joining the tour from the United States Of America. HEAVY sat down with Shaolin G from Unity TX to get to know the band a little better.
"That's what it was at the beginning," he recalled of the genesis of Unity TX. "It was just nothing but fun. We played our first show and it was hype. Of course, it was kind of a treacherous sound because we were all hyped to do it but some of us were, like, I forgot the part (laughs). It was chaotic but if you ever see our first set on YouTube - which, honestly, if you hear this and you look it up, don't say anything to me about it (laughs). It's insane. It's the most unhinged shit. If that doesn't tell you what Unity is from the beginning, I don't know what to tell you. That set… I look back on it, and sometimes I go ugghh, I can't believe I did that (laughs). It's the energy. It's always been that. It's just about the raw energy of everything."
In the full interview, Shaolin G talks more about the formation and early days of the band, coming to Australia for the first time as part of this tour, their relationship with Void Of Vision, what he is expecting from Australia, what we should expect from Unity TX and much more.
