Vexed Announce New Album ‘Negative Energy,’ Share Crushing New Single
Vexed have announced their highly anticipated second album Negative Energy, out June 23rd via Napalm Records.
Spanning 13 tracks, the band spoke about difficult life events that influenced the album saying: “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.”
Vexed also shared the album’s lead single “Anti-Fetish.”
“We wanted to start with a huge riff and a strong message,” the band said of the new single. “‘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.”
Listen to the crushing track below.
