Born from the cavernous depths of Adelsberg, Slovenia\u0092s VIGILANCE have been unleashing their own brand of heavy metal since Walpurgisnacht 2010. Inspired both by the harmonic arts of the original NWOBHM wave and the sepulchral elements of the first wave of black metal, VIGILANCE have steadily perfected their craft over the past decade-plus, possessing a unique crossover appeal to fans of early Iron Maiden and Mercyful Fate as equally as Venom and Bathory.<\/p>\n
However, after years of taking that throwback sound to countless stages across Europe, it was VIGILANCE\u0092s fourth album, Enter the Endless Abyss \u0096 released in 2019 by DYING VICTIMS to widespread acclaim \u0096 where the band had their breakout moment. Dark and dynamic but galloping gloriously with the eternal luminescence of HEAVY METAL might, Enter the Endless Abyss proved that VIGILANCE had truly nailed their subtly unique sound \u0096 and made it more compelling than ever.<\/p>\n
And although some three years have passed since that pivotal record, VIGILANCE return with the same fire on the brand-new mini-album Vigilance. Across its five-song\/26-minute duration, VIGILANCE\u0092s self-titled salvo goes in an ever-epic direction, maximizing that (memorable) sonic storytelling they so compactly revealed on its full-length predecessor. Everything\u0092s still head- and fistbangingly metal, arguably even more so here \u0096 the dual-guitar work is FIRE in the non-flashiest way \u0096 but there\u0092s equally a sense of fantastical AOR ala classic-era Rainbow as the record progresses, hitting a heavenly high with nearly-seven-minute closer \u0093Orbis Mundi.\u0094 And while VIGILANCE\u0092s execution has never been doubted, on Vigilance do they loosen up a bit and let these more mysterious odes wind and wend with a suitably earthier feel. Put another way, take one look at that gorgeous cover artwork and you KNOW what you\u0092re in for!<\/p>\n
VIGILANCE have been aging like a fine wine, and have only grown more potent. Drink deeply of the concise cup that is Vigilance! <\/p>\n
