Vancouver, BC, Canadian hard rock/metal band The Veer Union has released a new sing, ‘Is This How It Ends?’. The song is the follow up to their recent hit ‘Empirical’ and is the second single from their upcoming themed album Welcome To Dystopia, that’s slated to be released on 27th December on Rock Shop Records.
‘Is This How It Ends?’ is intended as a clarion call of warning about the incipient use of Robotics by governments and law enforcement – under the guise of keeping us safe. It asks a question: What is their agenda – is it really about keeping us protected? Or is it about increasing control over the populous?
The Veer Union commented:“For the past 40 years, technological advancements in robotics have integrated into our daily lives. As governments worldwide hasten to incorporate robotics into military and law enforcement uses, it is crucial for humanity to remain vigilant and informed about the capabilities, potential consequences and the agendas of those in charge of these technologies.
“These kinds of technologies are creeping into our lives at an ever-increasing pace – and the situation is both awe-inspiring and alarming.”

You can also check out the video for ‘Empirical’ here. Apparently, ‘Empirical’ is similar in that it is a plea for us to not lose our humanity in the face of an overwhelming amount of rapidly advancing technology that threatens to take over our lives – if we let it.
The band – featuring Crispin Earl (Lead Vocals and producer), Ryan Ramsdell (Guitar) and Ricardo Viana (Drums) said: “As we face innovation and the rapid advancement of technology, we in The Veer Union retain a profound sense of hope that humanity unites in its pursuit of freedom and individualism, continuing to champion the spirit that drives us to overcome challenges and strive for a brighter future.”
Releasing their debut album independently back in 2006, They landed a record deal with Universal Records USA in 2008 and garnered their first Top 10 Active Rock Radio Single with their critically acclaimed song ‘Seasons’ in the US and Canada.
