After years of mounting anticipation, Des Moines metal band VENDED have announced their debut, self-titled album, will be self-released on September 20th. Since their inception in 2018, VENDED came out swinging with singles replete with relentless energy and unparalleled ferocity that lit a firestorm of excitement. Now, the five-piece is ready to unleash a level of fury unseen in modern metal. This band gives no F*cks; just pure unrestrained mayhem.
Today, the band reveals the details of the forthcoming record arriving in the midst of their North American tour dates with SLIPKNOT and KNOCKED LOOSE and subsequent headline run with WRISTMEETRAZOR and LIE.
Commenting on their debut full-length, vocalist Griffin Taylor says, “There’s a level of aggression and emotion that’s missing from music right now, and we aim to fill that void on this album. It represents everything that Vended are about. ‘Fuck your ignorance, just grab a hold of it.’ You’re either with us or against us. Vended is a unit aimed at world domination, and this album is the first step. Welcome to Vended.”
VENDED’s self-titled record was produced by Chris Collier (KORN) and features 13 rage-fueled tracks, including previously released singles “Am I the Only One,” “The Far Side” and “Nihilism,” that restore some faith in the metal scene.
