Canadian Death Metal HARVESTED Earworm Ferocious “Voices of the Void” Band Playthrough From New Album “Dysthymia”
Canadian death metal outfit Harvested has dropped a ferocious, earworming band playthrough video for “Voices of the Void,” a standout track from their latest full-length album, “Dysthymia.” The video showcases the band’s technical prowess, raw aggression, and unrelenting energy, hallmarks of a sound they describe as “Heavy, Brutal, Fast, Aggressive and Violent.”
Formed in 2019 as a creative outlet for members of other local projects, Harvested has evolved into a powerhouse of modern death metal. With roots in bands like A Scar For The Wicked, Sons Of The Nether, Thalassophobia, and Fumigation, the group brings together a wealth of experience and a shared passion for pushing sonic boundaries.
“Voices of the Void” is a dynamic track that blends chaotic tempo shifts with crushing grooves, embodying the band’s signature fusion of old-school death metal and deathcore. Lyrically, it delves into themes of dissociation and psychological turmoil, part of the album’s overarching exploration of mental illness.
“This album is the evolution of our sound. We’ve taken influences from technical death metal giants like The Zenith Passage and Cattle Decapitation, but stayed true to our roots. Dysthymia is a level-up in every way—production, songwriting, and performance,” says guitarist Mitchi Dimitriadis.
The playthrough video offers fans an intimate look at the band’s musicianship, with each member delivering a tight, high-speed performance that reflects their commitment to precision and intensity.
“We pride ourselves on being athletes with our instruments. It’s not just about brutality, it’s about groove, cohesion, and constantly challenging ourselves,” adds Dimitriadis.
“Voices of the Void” is one of nine tracks on “Dysthymia,” each confronting different facets of psychological distress, from cult mentality and shadow selves to global political psychosis. The album’s artwork, a psychedelic depiction of mental chaos, complements its lyrical depth and sonic ferocity.
With “Dysthymia” now unleashed and the band’s live shows gaining momentum, Harvested is poised to make a lasting impact on the Canadian metal scene.

Tell us a bit about your recent release.
After our 2022 demo debut, we wanted to up the ante and produce a full-length with 9 tracks that pushed the boundaries passed the demo. We’re extremely proud of the work put in as well as the reception. Unfortunately, we couldn’t release this as early as we wanted to, as life sometimes gets in the way, but it’s finally here! And we’re not slowing down anytime soon
How do you typically go about the songwriting process? Do you have a specific method or creative routine that you follow?
We focus on mental illness in terms of themes but we like to take inspiration from our favorite vocalists. We don’t really have a routine. Seeing our reaction and how we feel speaks volumes!
The only thing that’s usually routine is how we transcribe and share ideas utilizing technology to produce music in our bedroom.
Looking ahead, what are your plans for supporting this new release? Are there any upcoming tours, music videos, or additional content that fans can look forward to in connection with this project?
Yes, we plan to milk this release as much as we can! We still have videos to showcase, as well as show, and potential tour announcements in the near future
Looking back on your musical career, is there a particular moment or accomplishment that you consider a turning point or a highlight?
As a band, it was when we experienced the reception of what we created. The support from the community and sharing the accolades with our peers. As people, we can be very critical of ourselves and our art. And sometimes we need that fresh perspective from unbiased eyes and ears to really get constructive feedback from the public.
