Vile completes drum recordings

By jason

VILE guitarist and producer Colin Davis has issued the following report from the studio: "Drums are finished. Tyson (Jupin) really shined during his time at the Imperial Mastering studio and we got some really beautiful tracks. His playing is more mature and more polished than ever and we feel really happy about what has been recorded. The next four months will be dedicated to finishing the album which is yet to be titled and will be released sometime during the summer by the band themselves. We feel that if there was ever a time for a band to take control over its own destiny, it is now. The new album will be released by us and we are currently setting up the necessary distribution channels."

Davis also reports that the new album will be Vile's most musically diverse. "I remember all of my favourite albums being quite varied in the musical styles that were incorporated. All of the great British, German and American bands had many different types of songs on their albums. Recently, that has stopped and we want to bring that diversity back to metal. Just like in real life, we have songs for different moods that capture many emotions. We are an extreme metal band, but that doesn't mean we have to play one type of song over and over."
