Brisbane-based post-hardcore quartet Deadlights have today returned with yet another resounding single ‘Sudden Life / Sudden Death’ - mixed and mastered by Chris Vernon (Belle Haven, Windwaker, Stuck Out).

The track's intensity continues throughout a melodic chorus, with emphasis on high-register clean vocals and technical drumming patterns. Dynamic momentum guides the listener into a defying breakdown, before an unrelenting outro brings the song to its abrupt end.
