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.
