Vulture - 'Sentinels' (official album stream)

Vulture: speed metal συγκρότημα από την Γερμανία. Δημιουργήθηκε πριν από εννέα έτη και έχει κυκλοφορήσει τρεις "ολοκληρωμένους" δίσκους ("The Guillotine" 2017, "Ghastly Waves & Battered Graves" 2019, "Dealin' Death" 2021) συν ένα dermo και τρία singles.

Το νέο τους δισκογραφικό πόνημα φέρει τον τίτλο "Sentinels" και αναμένεται αύριο σε cd, βινύλιο και σε ψηφιακή μορφή μέσω της Metal Blade Records, ενώ λίγες ημέρες αργότερα θα κυκλοφορήσει και σε κασέτα (από την Dying Victims Productions).

Δελτίο τύπου: «“Unhallowed & Forgotten” serves as a blueprint for the VULTURE style: wild riffs, lots of breaks, and tone changes, furious solos, exploding toms, and a huge chorus!

"Lyrically, we also stay true to ourselves”, notes Castevet. “The song is about the Blind Dead film series, whose thirst for blood, like ours, is difficult to quench.”

"In direct comparison to the last album, Dealin' Death, we've picked up the pace again noticeably", elaborates guitarist Stefan Castevet.

“We're bolder and a bit wilder again. It was important to us to be catchy and to include choruses that stick. Of course, we've basically retained our style, but we've defined the framework of the songs more clearly."

In order to create such a monster as Sentinels, some changes were necessary.

"It started with the songwriting, where we took more time than usual. We recorded a total of three demos with numerous songs, which we also produced to the best of our ability. This gave us the chance to let our songs sink in as relatively final versions so that we could then choose the best pieces and -at least in part- rework them again."

Vulture again recorded with Marco Brinkmann in his Hellforge Studio where there were also some innovations.

"We had a clearly structured daily routine, a normal working day with set goals in which we could focus purely on recording the songs. Our previous recordings were a bit less organized which resulted in working overtime for everyone involved at the end. This is one of the reasons why Sentinels is the best sounding Vulture record to date!"»
