Vice releases "The First Chapter"

Vice are a Manchester based Metal band formed from a shared vision to breathe fresh life into the metal music world and to display their diverse collective tastes and influences through their music.

Their brand of head banging, hair swirling, blistering modern Metal is full of powerful riffs/hooks, time/tempo changes, coupled with an energetic show and passionate, high standard of performance/musicianship. The songs have a powerful anthemic feel and their sound is influenced by bands like Machine Head, Meshuggah, Lamb of God and Dream Theater with a blistering twin guitar attack, powerful virtuoso drums and stinging vocals.

2016 culminated in their debut performance at the Mighty Bloodstock Open Air and they have shared the stage with artists such as Tim (Ripper) Owens, Blaze Bayley, Collibus, Triaxis, Reign of Fury, Breed77 and Babylon Fire, receiving fantastic feedback from fans, as well as critical acclaim from the likes of Get Your Rock Out, Planet Mosh, Manchester Rocks, The Moshville Times and Metal Temple.

They have already played Wildfire festival 2016 and 2017 and are booked to play Hammerfest X and HRH Metal in 2018. They have built a very strong reputation as an exciting, quality live band and their debut album ‘The First Chapter’ was released in May 2017 to overwhelming acclaim from critics and fans alike.
