Vanishment are sharing their new track “Forced Compliance” off of their upcoming album No More Torture.
Listen to the track here:
Band member Chris Wozniak shares his thoughts:
“‘Forced Compliance’ was the last song we wrote for the album. It’s a little more rockin’ and a little less thrashin,’ but it’s become one of our favorites to play live. The chorus will make you feel like you’re driving down the highway in a muscle car at night with sunglasses on. Dig it.”
Seattle, Washington-based metal outfit Vanishment prepare to release their debut album, No More Torture, through Dead Sage Records in March.
Vanishment take pride in delivering a combination of DIY attitude, relentlessly heavy songs, and a face-melting live experience that leaves an indelible mark upon all in its path. Consisting of vocalist Rob Ropkins (Deadly Light, North American Bison), guitarists Brian Johnson (Himsa, Trial) and Jeremy McAllister (Heiress, Wizards of Wor), bassist Nate Baker (Hell Promise, Formula One), and drummer Chris Wozniak (Lair Of The Minotaur, Earthen Grave), the band saw their inception in early 2019. At the time, the quintet was playing together in the band Pinned Red when they decided to refocus and rebrand as Vanishment.
Taking inspiration from classic thrash and heavy metal bands like Metallica, Iron Maiden, Megadeth, and Judas Priest, the group spent several months writing, rehearsing, and eventually recording their self-titled debut EP which was released to the masses in 2021, showcasing the band’s raw energy and aggressive sound. The band have since played numerous shows in the Pacific Northwest, performing alongside some of the biggest names in the metal scene.
In between shows, Vanishment continued to write and record what will be their debut full-length album, No More Torture. Recorded by the band and mastered by Chris Hanzsek, No More Torture drops 42 minutes of pummeling metal with all the classic elements fans of old-school Bay Area thrash will appreciate underpinned with more modern metallic hardcore elements and hooks lying just below the surface.
Vanishment are already working on new music and are currently booking shows around and beyond the Pacific Northwest. Watch for steady updates on new tour dates to post throughout the year.
Dead Sage will release No More Torture on CD and digitally on March 3. Find preorders here.
