Tech-Dying Tuesday: SPITEFUL VISIONS Expertly Mix Catharsis And Rage On Their Self-Titled EP

Greetings tech fiends, it is that point of the week once more. Earlier than we dive into in the present day’s column, this is the same old weekly reminder that for those who’re seeking to discover much more sick bands, you are able to do so right here.

For these tuning in in the present day, I’ve received the early full premiere of the self-titled Spiteful Visions file for you in the present day. The discharge will formally drop this Friday, April 8 by way of Bandcamp. As ordinary, you are welcome to instantly scroll beneath and click on play, although you may learn on if you would like to be taught extra in regards to the launch and the venture as a complete.

As I perceive it, Spiteful Visions was the brainchild of Minneapolis-based guitarist Stuart Stelter (ex-Aetheric/ex-Invidiosus) who sadly handed away final 12 months. A number of of his former bandmates in Aetheric linked up with Brett MacIntosh (Æpoch) from Canada on vocals to launch Stuart‘s spectacular self-titled Spiteful Visions EP which he had been engaged on for a while.

Vocalist Brett MacIntosh shares, “The music that Stuart composed right here is a few Melodic/Technical Dying Metallic of the very best caliber, even that includes a visitor solo from grasp shredder Morgan Reid of Bloodshot Daybreak on opener ‘Suffocating Stench’. For followers of Allegaeon, Bloodshot Daybreak, Alterbeast, The Black Dahlia Homicide, Conducting From The Grave, Symbolik, Enigma.”

The comparisons listed above by Brett are spot on, and I might significantly emphasize Conducting From The Grave in the case of explaining the form of sound Spiteful Visions is all about on their self-titled EP. I have been a giant fan of them for a very long time and whereas there have been quite a lot of bands doing the form of technical melodic dying metallic that is additionally actually fucking heavy and affected by breakdowns round a decade or extra in the past, it is probably not a factor now I might say. Clocking in at simply over half-hour break up pretty evenly throughout 5 songs close to the identical runtime, it is a enjoyable launch that additionally has a whole lot of meat on its bones despite being an EP.

Extra importantly, this launch exists to honor a pal who misplaced their life to suicide. A trigger I am keen about since my brother died the identical method quite a lot of years in the past and it nonetheless hurts however it helps to search out some strategy to honor these we have misplaced. Any funds made out of gross sales of this launch, which may be pre-ordered by way of Bandcamp, will go to his household.

This can be a nice launch that deserved to see the sunshine of day and be loved by dying metallic followers in all places. We’ll finish issues now with an extra remark about Spiteful Visions from vocalist Brett MacIntosh, “It’s with a bittersweet sense of completion that we current to you the Spiteful Visions self-titled EP. This launch is devoted to the life and reminiscence of our guitarist Stuart Stelter who composed the music. We’re all very proud to be part of this, and regardless of Stuart‘s premature passing, we knew he was simply as proud to have created this music which is why we finally noticed it by way of to have the ability to be launched. We’re making it free and obtainable to anybody who needs to obtain and stream it on choose companies, however any donations in direction of the music will probably be rerouted to Stuart‘s household.”
