“Vehement will not
kiss anyone’s arse.” – Andras,
Vehement
Silence has been broken in Eastbourne, Sussex from the loud,
thunderous sound of Extreme Metal piece VEHEMENT.
Another band I was able to catch amongst the busy surroundings at Southampton
Annihilation Festival. Influenced by some of the biggest giants of metal such
as MAYHEM, EMPEROR and BEHEMOTH but also some unlikely
inspirations for a metal band such as DAVID
BOWIE and SIOUXSIE AND THE BANSHEES.
It seems though this break down of inspirations have defined the band’s
sound.
“It’s a collective
of music to help write our own stuff if that makes sense.” Guitarist Wraith
explains. “I think for the most part with all of our different influences that
come into it then combine everything to create something.” Bassist Nybras
concludes, “Hence why we’re not necessarily Black Metal, we have a lot of
different influences.” They are a different sort of metal which Wraith
continues to explain “I think what makes VEHEMENT
a bit more unique is that, like Andras was saying, there’s no bull**** between
us. There are no theatrics and there are no gimmicks.”
It’s also fantastic
to see a hardworking band that care about one thing and one thing only, keeping
their fans and new listeners happy. Also how they will get places through hard
work and not pay for Facebook likes.
“We’d rather
grind through these shows and earn it. We played at half past 2 this
afternoon and we had a great crowd; that’s all what matters to us.” Drummer
Andras justifies “At the end of the day, Vehement will not kiss anyone’s arse.”
If you wish to
check out Vehement and I recommend you do, find them on Facebook.
