Background and promotion

On 9 November 2017, the single "Ghost in the Machine" was released alongside an accompanying music video.[1] The EP was then released the next day. From 17–25 November, Void of Vision co-headlined with Woolongong metalcore band Graves for their farewell tour. They performed at venues across Brisbane, Newcastle, Sydney, Wollongong, Adelaide and Melbourne.[2]

On 12 January 2018, Disturbia received a limited physical release of 500 vinyl EPs.[3]

Writing and composition

"Spite" was described as being a statement of "Look what you’ve done to you and I" and as "is waves of aggression with a certain someone being dealt a brutal serve." "Ghost in the Machine" is described as being about one's personal demons trying to stay hidden and self-reflection. "You Will Bring Me Down" chronicles a relationship gone sour and the need to erase everything about them. "Grey Area" was likened to giving a "You’re going to watch what you’ve done to me" vibe.[4]

Speaking on how all the song's connect, vocalist Jack Bergin said: "There is no particular theme for the EP, this was really for an experience I wanted myself to have, seeking the hopeful relief of facing my own demons. In the most unselfish way possible, I wrote this EP for myself, because I needed to."[4] The EP's genre has been described as metalcore and hardcore.[5][6]

The EP received positive reviews. Jonty Cornford from KillYourStereo in a mostly positive review said: "With two great tracks, one decent track and one disappointment, ‘Disturbia’ does fall short of expectations for me, but there is still a lot to be loved here."[6] Beat magazine gave it a positive review and said: "Less surprising is that it meets these expectations with flying colours and manages to do so with just four songs."[7] Metal Noise criticised it for being too short, however praising it: "at four songs it leaves you wanting more."[8]

In a positive review from Depth magazine, Kel Burch said: "Void Of Vision have done an impressive job of keeping intensity high and messages sincere through the entire of Disturbia."[4]
