Melbourne's long-running act, who last released Dead Elysium in 2019, launches the album with a show at The Bergy Bandroom in Melbourne on November 20. --- **VANISHING POINT** **Australia's Melodic Metal Masters Release, *****The Faceless*** **New Album, *****Eremition,***** Arrives November 20** With the recent releases of, **[Bring Me The Night](https://us.list-manage.com/tSD5aby7FzC?e=c982cfcc7a&c2id=8df4eb0d792325807e8f2eb2abb2bd4e)**, and **[Sirens](https://us.list-manage.com/13idFzSg2HW?e=c982cfcc7a&c2id=8df4eb0d792325807e8f2eb2abb2bd4e)** one of Australia's most respected melodic metal bands, **Vanishing Point** have made it clear that they are back and mean business. Today they present, **The Faceless**, a track of epic proportions with Silvio's unmistakable vocal soar, that pummelling drums and bottom end and those melodic harmonies that VP do so so well. Silvio adds that The Faceless, *"is a haunting reflection of a world where identity is lost, voices are silenced, and humanity hides behind the masks we create. When everyone becomes a shadow, the truth is the only thing that remains.”* Listen to The Faceless here **[https://onerpm.link/vanishingpointthefaceless](https://onerpm.link/vanishingpointthefaceless)** [Watch on YouTube](https://youtu.be/bBvfbhWGNbE?si=w7DuxUMudf68q7OD) ***Eremition ***will be released on November 20 Pre Orders Available Now **[https://vanishing-point.com.au/home#eremition-pre-orders](https://vanishing-point.com.au/home#eremition-pre-orders)** **TOUR DATES** Vanishing Point will be performing live next at Saturday, Nov 14: Steel Assassins - The Bridge Hotel, **Sydney** Tickets [here](https://us.list-manage.com/jdKXukxa8gX?e=c982cfcc7a&c2id=8df4eb0d792325807e8f2eb2abb2bd4e) Friday, Nov 20: Eremition Launch Show - The Bergy Bandroom, **Melbourne** Tickets [here](https://us.list-manage.com/1BOcmIMWNkQ?e=c982cfcc7a&c2id=8df4eb0d792325807e8f2eb2abb2bd4e) ![Five band members in dark leather jackets stand against a warm-lit backdrop for Vanishing Point's album launch poster.](https://media.onyourmarkus.au/admin/2026/11/bfe6c08a-572c-4d04-bb20-bc8a75d2abfd.jpg) Six years after ***Dead Elysium*** marked their triumphant return following another lengthy absence, **Vanishing Point **are back. Their seventh studio album, ***Eremition***, will be released worldwide on **November 20**, On Eremition and the long wait between drinks, Porcianko adds,* “for us as a band, it’s always been quality over quantity. When the quality is there, that’s when it's the right time to put it out into the world. We feel we owe it to ourselves and to our fans everywhere to bring something truly special to light, something that sits perfectly within the long legacy that Vanishing Point has.* *Eremition is in many ways an album about loss, gain, realisation, understanding, letting go, and moving forward without holding onto the negative energies that sometimes complicate our lives. We hope that these songs bring a little solace and connection to all our incredible fans out there.”* For longtime fans, new Vanishing Point music carries a particular weight. Three decades into their career, the band have never flooded the market or chased release cycles for the sake of remaining visible. Instead, each chapter has been allowed to arrive in its own time. The result is a catalogue that has earned Vanishing Point a reputation extending far beyond Australia. Across six albums since their 1997 debut ***In Thought***, Vanishing Point have carved out their own space within melodic metal: huge melodies, soaring vocals, heavy guitars, cinematic atmosphere and songs carrying an unmistakable emotional weight. It is a sound that has taken the Melbourne band around the world, touring throughout Europe and Japan, performing in the USA and sharing stages with **Iron Maiden, Nightwish, Helloween, Gamma Ray, Yngwie Malmsteen, Joe Satriani, Dragonforce** and many more. They also became the **first unsigned Australian band to perform at Wacken Open Air**, long before Australian heavy music enjoyed the international profile it does today. Yet perhaps the most remarkable thing about Vanishing Point in 2026 isn't simply that they're still here. It's that there is still an audience waiting when they return. For the fans who discovered the band through ***In Thought***, ***Tangled In Dream***, ***Embrace The Silence*** or ***The Fourth Season***, a new Vanishing Point album reconnects them with a band that has been part of Australian metal for decades. For those who arrived through ***Distant Is The Sun*** or ***Dead Elysium***, the wait for another chapter is finally over. More than three decades after Vanishing Point formed in Melbourne, ***Eremition*** isn't about looking backwards.** It's about reminding the world that Vanishing Point are still one of the finest melodic metal bands Australia has ever produced.** And once again, they've made the wait worthwhile.
