Vulture Industries announce new tour-dates

Wedged in between pre-production and the start of recording their next album this November, VULTURE INDUSTRIES have announced a string of shows in Central and Eastern Europe under the heading “The Tower Falls Tour”. After kicking off their rocky road-trip at the Phantoms of Pilsen in the Czech Republic on October 21st, performances in Bitterfeld, East Germany, Hungary’s capital Budapest and four Romanian concerts will follow.

The progressive outfit from Bergen, Norway will be joined by city compatriots SULPHUR at all dates, which are listed below.

VULTURE INDUSTRIES comment: “After many months spent locked away into rehearsal rooms and studio hammering material for our next album into shape, we started to miss our friends in Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, and Romania. In order to avoid cabin fever and familiarise ourselves with the world out there again, we decided it was about time to get the guys together and go out for a stroll. Here we come, hope to see you at our shows!

VULTURE INDUSTRIES have previously released a video for the song “Blood on the Trail” taken from their latest album ‘The Tower’. The clip is streaming at the link below.

VULTURE INDUSTRIES commented: “We have commissioned this video as a sort of final call from ‘The Tower’ before moving on to new undertakings. The clip was made while building the set for ‘The Babylon Spiral Show’ as we had a day left with our artist Costin at the end of that time. Everything was shot inside the airtight live room of our studio, and I can reveal that hours of filming with stage lights and many people inside a confined space really turned out hot and nasty! We hope you enjoy this video and meanwhile we will continue to tinker with new songs for the upcoming album.”

The clip for “Blood on the Trail” was directed by Romanian artist COSTIN CHIOREANU. His original works including designs for MAYHEM, VULTURE INDUSTRIES as well as engagements as residential artist at the renowned Roadburn festival among other exhibitions and are available here.

The Norwegian coastal city of Bergen is famous for its vibrant rock and metal scene. Surrounded by fjords and mountains, this beautiful but rain ridden place would be associated with Black Metal by most people, yet VULTURE INDUSTRIES are of a very different breed.

Their latest album, ‘The Tower’ explores dark musical vistas with a unique mixture of progressive, experimental, industrial, doom, extreme, and even symphonic elements. This amalgamate of styles may conveniently be dubbed avant-garde metal, which can be further explained by drawing possible comparisons with FAITH NO MORE, MR. BUNGLE, ARCTURUS, DEVIN TOWNSEND, VED BUENS ENDE, and THE CULT.

Starting out as DEAD ROSE GARDEN in 1993, they changed members and consequently their name to VULTURE INDUSTRIES in 2003. Afterwards, the band consisted of current and former members of SULPHUR, BLACK HOLE GENERATOR, MALICE IN WONDERLAND and SYRACH. Following two demos ‘The Sleeper’ (2003) and ‘The Enemy Within’ (2004), which captured attention in progressive circles, the EP ‘The Benevolent Pawn’ (2005) was the first official release. It was followed by two full-length albums, ‘The Dystopia Journals’ (2007) and ‘The Malefactor’s Bloody Register’ (2010). Both releases gained high critical acclaim and praise from fans alike.

With ARCTURUS in hibernation, VULTURE INDUSTRIES easily claimed the throne of Norwegian dark progressive metal. The band from Bergen went on to take another step in their steadily climbing career. ‘The Tower’ was recorded at the Conclave & Earshot Studios in Bergen (ENSLAVED, AUDREY HORNE, HELHEIM, TAAKE) and produced by frontman Bjørnar E. Nilsen. The mixing was excellently handled by ENSLAVED keyboarder Herbrand Larsen and the album was mastered by Jens Bogren at Fascination Street Studios (OPETH, KATATONIA, DEVIN TOWNSEND, IHSAHN). ‘The Tower’ is still yours to climb…
