Vexed announce new album ‘Negative Energy’
VEXED have announced a new album!
Titled Negative Energy, the sophomore effort from the British alternative metal act follows their 2021 debut Culling Culture and is scheduled to be released in June this year via Napalm Records.
Speaking about the new album, the band comment, “We are so proud to present to you our second album. Since our first release, we have each endured traumatic experiences, surrounded by death, betrayal, pain and grief. In order to find any strength, we first had to accept that we weren’t okay, then take our trauma and face it head on, sharing our vulnerability, fears and weaknesses. Instead of forcing ourselves to try and be positive we put all our negative energy into the album in order to begin our own repair and to overcome.”
Alongside the announcement of the album, the band have released a music video for its lead single Anti-Fetish.
Speaking about the new song, the band add, “We wanted to start with a huge riff and a strong message. Anti-Fetish is us confronting the constant comparisons and ungrounded hate that bands receive. It’s become completely accepted in the scene to cross the line of constructive criticism and just dive bomb into hatred and prejudice. This song is us setting the record straight by calling out the blatant discrimination.”
