VITRIOL demanded a pit, and they got one - El Bunker Del Diablo, a dingy LIC bunker, will host this chaotic show. Unmerciful, Weeping, and Infernal Oath join the fray, promising sweat-drenched, ear-shredding chaos. Limited capacity, so don't get left out - get your tickets now! And come get lost in the depths!
For Portland, Oregon's VITRIOL, nothing comes easy. Nothing. The title of their second Century
Media album, ‘Suffer & Become,’ says it all. "The title really sums it up," says guitarist and
vocalist Kyle Rasmussen. "I pushed things to a point while making this album where it almost
became untenable. Things that were supposed to be done in weeks took months. It wasn't easy,
but I think it was suffering well spent."
At the core of ‘Suffer & Become’ lies a profound sense of extremity and unease. This very
essence defines Vitriol as the vanguard in death metal's evolutionary path—a sonic landscape
characterized by its profound darkness, density, and the infusion of nanotechnological precision
interwoven with intense, seething emotions. Not easy listening in the slightest. Since forming in
2013, Rasmussen and longtime co-conspirator, bassist, and co-vocalist Adam Roethlisberger
have worked with a single-minded vision: to push the genre to its breaking point and invent a
new uncompromising paradigm in the process. VITRIOL is a masterclass in pain – and that's
just their jumping-off point.
The sound of VITRIOL remains as joyless and dark as ever, but with a glimmer of hope. VITRIOL has taken its trauma-put-to-sound approach to the next level and discovered a new sense of beauty in the blackness. ‘Suffer & Become’ is death metal with a bloody, beating heart.
