Bismarck, ND, U.S.
(Bismarck, ND) — Independent metal band Vendetta Spoken have spent the majority of their Spring season, inside a recording studio putting finishing touches on the forthcoming album entitled Schrödinger Equation. The highly anticipated second album was helmed by producer Josh Schroeder [of Random Awesome Studio in Bay City, MI] — he also handled the mixing and recording duties, during the making of the record. The new album is tentatively scheduled for a late Fall release.
Vendetta Spoken gained local and regional traction with their incredible live performances, later garnered a lot of "far-upper" Midwest attention throughout 2008-2009. Praised for their unique touring regimen, the band have had the honors of sharing the stage with bands; Born of Osiris, Shai Hulud, With Blood Comes Cleansing, For Today, Too Pure to Die, The Crinn, and Hemlock — which have helped cement Vendetta Spokens' reputation as one of the states most formidable live outfits. Formed in 2007, the group gained notoriety with their 2009 independent release Shrieking Of The Damned [recorded at Cathouse Studios in Sioux Falls, SD by Mike Dresch], featuring the ever-impressive single "Hands of the Corrupted."
Since 2009, Vendetta Spoken has dealt with several lineup changes but that hasn't stopped original co-founders of the group; Dean Sather (Vocals) and Victor Clarence (Lead Guitarist) — the two have picked up the pieces and recruited new members Mark Hammerbeck (Guitarist), Josh Caulder (Bassist) and Casey Graff (Drums) — and secured their place as a band who's ready to begin performing live once again in the coming months. Vendetta Spoken have returned to the forefront of the local [North Dakota] music scene, and better than ever.
The albums' first single "Beginning End" showcases their phenomenal, unrelenting aggression when it comes to live shows and an overall powerful sound, which will please the average metal listener. The band will head to Minneapolis, MN this month to record their first music video for the single. The video will be shot by acclaimed video director Rico Roman — Romans' resume includes the likes of Silverstein, Four Letter Lie, After The Burial, and For All Those Sleeping, to name a few. While the band has kept most of the details about their new album under wraps, they've recently posted two tracks on their official MySpace and Facebook pages — the new songs display their raw-energetic talent, not only maintaining their original roots, but evolving towards a new direction in the process.
