Culling Culture [LP]

Limited red colored vinyl LP pressing. The latest resurgence of progressive modern metal has arisen with massive bands like Whitechapel, but it's inevitable arena of assertive street swagger and hyperfocused brutality is yet left vacant. Enter the UK's most exciting new talent, Vexed. The crushing Hertfordshire foursome combine aggressive groove mixed with ominous threads of progressive atmosphere on their long-awaited debut album, Culling Culture. If the release of two recent one-off singles served as an auditory love tap, Culling Culture is a wound-up suckerpunch.
