VICTORIA K Melbourne Gothic/Modern Metallers Release, “Oh So Weary” From Third Album “The Pleasure Of Sorrow” Coming Soon

Single Release

28 May

Australian gothic/modern metal act Victoria K unveil “Oh So Weary”, the first single taken from the upcoming album “The Pleasure Of Sorrow”.

With “The Pleasure Of Sorrow”, Victoria K move toward a darker and more intimate sound, combining gothic atmospheres, modern heaviness, haunting melodies and emotionally driven songwriting. The album expands the band’s sonic identity while exploring themes of grief, mortality, vulnerability and rebirth.

“Oh So Weary” offers the first glimpse into this new direction through a composition balancing fragility, tension and crushing dynamics. Layered arrangements, haunting melodies and a sharp modern production approach - helmed by producer Lee Bradshaw and elevated through Lance Prenc’s mixing and mastering - shape a track that feels both massive and deeply personal. Additional electronic textures and sound design elements further reinforce the song’s contemporary edge and immersive atmosphere.

The single reflects on mortality and the idea of the human body as a temporary shell inhabited by the soul. Recurring references to “home” and “house” symbolise physical existence itself, questioning what may remain once that form disappears.

Victoria says that Oh So Weary "is a song I am so extremely proud of! I wanted to create something that I would listen to and just kind of let go of the boundaries of what ‘Victoria K’ sounds like, and write for fun, I think that’s why I genuinely love this song. Oh So Weary is almost like a sister song to Fell From A Dream, serving as the preface to that track. It’s coming to terms with your own mortality and what that means, also trying to conceptualise what death itself may feel like or be.

The constant reference in the song to the “house” or the “home” is quite literally the physical body, and your soul is what’s living inside of that shell, so conceptualising what happens to that soul after the physical body doesn’t exist anymore is what I was thinking of when writing."

Rather than relying on traditional genre formulas, Victoria K continue refining a sound built around atmosphere, emotional weight and contemporary influences. Over the years, the Australian act have developed a distinctive identity within the modern gothic and alternative metal landscape through dynamic songwriting and cinematic storytelling.

Further details regarding “The Pleasure Of Sorrow”, including the album release date, will be revealed in the coming months. Stay tuned!
