THE VICE release music video for “Waltz de Anima”; 
New 3-track EP “The Red Tape Sessions” out now via Noble Demon!

Stockholm-based dark metal four-piece THE VICE have unveiled the music video for “Waltz de Anima”, the epic closing track from their newly released 3-track EP “The Red Tape Sessions”. The EP is available now via Noble Demon. 

About the track, the band comments: “Waltz de Anima”, in my opinion is definitely our most ‘epic’ song to date. The chorus was the first segment written and it immediately felt like one of the ‘big choruses’ we’d wanted to write for a long time, but it just hadn’t come to us yet. But from the first demo-recording of the song we knew that this was one for the books. It has a very majestic, regal tone to it which we kept close in mind when writing the rest of the song. And with the strange, smoke-drenched, early 1900’s jazz-club-vibe in the intro and the interlude reminiscing of parties of the bourgeoisie in huge ballrooms centuries ago, or some twisted night at the Royal Opera or Ballet even, I think we did quite well in highlighting that mood throughout the entire song.“

From the very beginning, THE VICE has followed their own crooked path, driven by a desire to carve out a place of their own within the scene.

And that grimy, wildhearted, metal/rock/pop fusion, with one foot firmly planted in the windswept, frozen North and the other cemented to the concrete of the streets, sure sounds like nothing else. Dark, blackened metal, ferocious rock ‘n’ roll, posh punk and harsh, hardcore attitude; mixed with a huge dose of the cultural colossi of the 90’s such as Guns & Roses, Pantera, Prince, Grunge, Oasis, Neometal, Fight Club, The Matrix and Terminator 2 to name a few. All of that – and everything in between – comes close to describing the very essence of THE VICE.

Three full-length albums and numerous EPs into their career, the band stands as a confident, adrenaline-pumping unit – a bunch of loose cannons at the starting blocks, ready to commence the next chapter in THE VICE saga.

“The Red Tape Sessions” – a striking collection that builds upon the foundations of March’s “A Great Unrest” (Noble Demon), elevating both the production and songwriting while drenching it all in a strange, electrifying neon glow – is out now and available for purchase HERE.
