THE VICE Release "A Great Unrest" EP and"From The Barricades" Music Video!

March 8, 2025

Swedish dark metal act THE VICE has unleashed its brand new 5 track EP A Great Unrest via Noble Demon. To celebrate the release in a fitting manner, the band has released a music video for the track "From The Barricades".

THE VICE about the song:
"Sometimes rock 'n' roll shouldn't be more complicated than one middle finger and zero f*cks to give. And that's what "From The Barricades" is all about.It's punk song cast in our blackened mold of ferocious rock and die-hard metal, accelerating all the way until the very end. Nothing more, nothing less, but one hell of a ride.."

Watch the video for "From The Barricades" below:

Following the success of their latest full-length album, Dead Canary Run (2024, Noble Demon), THE VICE embarked on an exciting journey to create a series of EPs. The addition of Joel Öhman, a long-time collaborator, has transformed the band into a finely-tuned quartet, enriching their sound with fresh perspectives and innovative approaches.

The first offering from this new chapter, A Great Unrest, has this growth on full display, amplifying every inch of the foundation made of blackened metal, ambient pop and unbridled rock'n'roll.

The five tracks - three new ones, a cover of "1 Sun" by Miley Cyrus and a rearranged version of "Welcome The Storm" from the latest album - were recorded in the fall of 2024 at Studio Underjord (Skraeckoedlan, Magna Carta Cartel, Haystack among others) in rural Sweden.

Fresh off of writing and recording a full album, this EP was the perfect way to musically break the "limitations" that can come when working to create a really unified piece of art.

And while it wasn't exactly Fantomas-levels of diverse tracks, sound engineer and owner of the studio, Joona Hassinen really pulled his 'A' game giving it a coherent sound. A Great Unrest sounds a bit lighter, yet more harsh than Dead Canary Run with an electrified, distorted tension running throughout.

"A Great Unrest" is out now on Noble Demon and available for purchase at THIS LOCATION

The Vice are:
Rickard - Vocals & Guitars
Charlie - Bass
Petter - Drums
Guest appearance by Joel Öhman (Piano)

THE VICE Announce New EP "A Great Unrest" and Unleash Gloomy Video for First Single and Title Track!

February 8, 2025

Swedish dark metal act THE VICE has announced the release of the band's upcoming five track EP A Great Unrest, set to be released on March 7 via Noble Demon.

Following the success of their latest full-length album, Dead Canary Run (2024, Noble Demon), THE VICE embarked on an exciting journey to create a series of EPs. The addition of Joel Öhman, a long-time collaborator, has transformed the band into a finely-tuned quartet, enriching their sound with fresh perspectives and innovative approaches.

And while it wasn't exactly Fantomas-levels of diverse tracks, sound engineer and owner of the studio, Joona Hassinen really pulled his 'A' game giving it a coherent sound. "A Great Unrest" sounds a bit lighter, yet more harsh than "Dead Canary Run" with an electrified, distorted tension running throughout.

In support of the upcoming release, THE VICE have unleashed the first single and title track of the EP. The song is accompanied by a new & gloomy music video, which you can watch below.

Listen to "A Great Unrest" HERE

Guitarist Rickard about the track: "To me, 'A Great Unrest' is everything that The Vice is all about, boiled down to its purest form. One sinister fucking riff, a couple of choruses trembling with fierceness, passion and rebellion, and a final act to release all that built up tension in a beautiful, yet most ominous way. All in under three and a half minute, really think we obliterated every head of every nail with this one."

Regarding the EP's themes, the band adds: "Thematically there wasn't any other ideas, thoughts, than usual when entering the studio. The Vice is, has always been, and will forever be about unrest, rebellion, those mixed feelings of unease and ecstacy when balancing on the last inches of the edge, about to plunge into the void. Some songs here and there have more specific themes, but in general it's reflections and ideas about this existence from a quite calm, gathered perspective though always prepared, anticipating the moment when the tension breaks and the unknown madness begins. Somewhere along the way the visual representations like the cover art, music video, title etc all started to lean towards some kind of cold war aesthetics. This was absolutely not intentional, never discussed and nothing we'd naturally turn to. Sure some things led to the other, but at least some of it feels like the music just had an inherent vibe of that, cold, metallic, bleak, post-war vibe."

"A Great Unrest " will be coming out on March 7 via Noble Demon and is now available for pre-order at THIS LOCATION

October 16, 2024

Swedish Dark Metal trio THE VICE has unveiled a haunting new video for the track 'Crossing Over', taken from their latest album "Dead Canary Run" released in January 2024 via Noble Demon.

Directed by Jimmy Johansson, the video serves as a visual manifestation of the track's unsettling mood, amplifying the raw intensity and brooding atmosphere that define THE VICE's distinct sound.

THE VICE about the track: "Crossing Over immediately drags you out of your comfort zone with its eerie groove and the mean pumping bass. Together they convey a very unsettling mood leading up to the ferocious climax. That one last, violent moshpit on the deck of this sinking ship."

Building upon the foundations set by their previous work - a blend of filthy rock, blackened metal, gothic influences and death-ridden pop - the band's latest album "Dead Canary Run" takes listeners down a deranged path that THE VICE has masterfully crafted over the years.

With an eclectic mix of genres thriving like never before, the album promises to captivate fans with its raw energy and infectious melodies. While some elements may feel familiar, there are numerous new levels that THE VICE has reached with this new offering. "Dead Canary Run" serves as a testament to the band's growth since their recent full-length album "White Teeth Rebellion", showcasing their passion and determination, with their amps cranked up to 11.
