Veil of Maya go synthwave* and vegan

2022-04-20 by amateur grammar vigilante woodtouching over the sanctity of what things are *supposed* to mean | 63 Comments
Djent T I T A N S, Vial of Mayo, have released a new single and video titled "Synthwave Vegan". While the band have not officially announced an impending album release, Marc Okubo has somewhat cryptically tweeted that the singles released by the band from 2019-2021, which were intended to be a part of the band's now-scrapped original follow up to False Idol, will not be part of a new album, implying that the new song will be.

"Synthwave Vegan" can be bought/streamed here:

*Disclaimer: Well, they did, but they're all better now.

Really unimpressed with this, heavy in the most boring way, guitar work is actually obnoxious half the time. Djent riffs without something else doing the heavy lifting to make the song interesting just doesn't work for me.

This is creative and powerful. It sounds like an evolutionary sound of their first three albums. Dunno what people are talking about, this shreds hard!

"dunno what's going on with the song title though"

Based on what I've read online, the band supposedly scrapped the album they recorded in 2019 because it had been "tainted" by someone involved in the making of the album. Given that their last single was the heavily synthwave-influenced "Outrun" which was supposed to be on that album, my theory is that the title of this song is them taking a potshot at the person in question, maybe because that person was the one pushing them in the synthwave direction.

Track slaps hard. Hopefully folks can look beyond their preconceived notions of VoM and actually listen. Excited for the LP.

I feel like Marc Okubo needs to do what John Browne did with the new Monuments and go back to six strings, his riff writing was a whole lot stronger when constrained to a more standard scale. Plus it'll probably free up some low end space in these mixes too.

Still better than the last two singles tho

This site has been like 50/50 straight/tongue in cheek for its entire existence. This article itself is surrounded by articles with phrases such as "Run for Covercore" and "Of as yet unspecified descent, folk/medieval rock/metal outfit".

The loose cannon that is community driven content is a large part of why people come here. If I wanted articles written by Respected Staffer John "Generic Press Release" Smith I'd go elsewhere. For now I'll take our boy "amateur grammar vigilante woodtouching over the sanctity of what things are *supposed* to mean" and his delicious Vial of Mayo.

First half was alright.
Keyboard layer one minute in feels phoned in.
I didn't think this song had anything annoying about it until 2 minutes in, then I'm like "oh, there it is."
I don't get why he uses dissonance so much without trying to actually make it sound musical. Like give the notes some type of context in the scale instead of just clustering two notes together all over the place.

But hey, if you like this, not saying you shouldn't, it's just kind of bothering me from a composer's perspective.

Lol no, but it does get old. The staff on this site pick on certain bands and not on others. Start shit talking Meshuggah at least to make it fair!

Lol dude I posted the article. I'm not staff and I like this band which is why I took the time to post something about the release. The Vial of Mayo jab was a lighthearted joke because of the song's title. No one's picking on them, but if it helps I'll try making a Radiodead or Mesh-00-gah joke when the opportunity arises.
