Vile Vindiction CD Heavy Metal Review

Vile Vindiction's compact disc by the same title captures the audience and has them craving and aching for the live performance to witness the shredding brilliance. Many individuals professionally prepare their album from the outset for both fans, and industry labels and venues. The band avoids the common misstep that many unsigned bands to produce a bare compact disc with no artwork and it would have not attracted the same attention and overlooked. Although, Vile Vindication does put the whole package on display from the cover to the vital thrash metal music, which has a clean production sound to it, in the vein of Morbid Angel of their olden days. They have the technical significance for this young band loaded with talent and experience to carry them into larger venues with their tempo changes that gives a precision assault. Vocalist Kris Poole takes each shred delivered by Jim Nickles' guitar and the lyrics in the songs to embed with a sledgehammer in one's face and soul leaving you drained and exhausted. The lyrics are beyond the normal standard fare, and rather deep thought provoking well design, and driven stabs in one's soul.

The standout song of the five-track EP, is Puritanical Winterlight, which many Slayer fans will find reminiscent of Haunting the Chapel through the brutalism of raping its listening audience's ears that will have a sound cleansing of their mp3 players and a return to what metal should represent. The drumming of Evan Leuer, strives through to the listener especially at the end track Death Wrapped in Plastic, and heads the hellish winds of anger into Burn Inside the final track. Vile does not avoid controversial with their EP, and takes on the suicide issue in the opening track, Life Lost.

The artwork that is often forgotten many albums, outside of the metal genre here it is taking the time to convey a theme and reflect the inner turmoil and despair of society's disease is facing us all in levels of life. The side binding of their CD uses the repeated pattern of VILEVILE to allow the term 'evil' to explore the subtle of the death metal genre.

Jim Nickels' past shows that he was a founding member of legendary and infamous death genre band Malevolent Creation, and then had toured with Hellwitch, these influences have both matured and growth on this album.

VERDICT: 4 OUT OF 5 Skulls
