The hype in the deathcore community is real with this one. Let's play some catch-up. Traitors vocalist Tyler Shelton had this vision to get some of the biggest and baddest deathcore frontmen together to jam and create some magic. Originally, the group was known as The Big Six, self-described as “your new favourite boy band” and included Lorna Shore‘s Will Ramos, Fit For An Autopsy‘s Joe Badolato, Left to Suffer‘s Taylor Barber, Infant Annihilator‘s Dickie Allen, Traitors‘ Tyler Shelton and Attila’s Chris ‘Fronz’ Fronzak.
Almost immediately after recording what would have been their debut EP, recoded at Indiana’s Sweetwater Studios late last year, the lineup started to fracture a bit. Fronz was the first to fold due to clash of commitments with Attila and family and has since gone on to release a bunch of singles, including the most recent track 'Mia Goth' featuring Ekoh.
Shortly after Fronz' departure, Joe Bad regrettably had to pull out as well, after what seemed like some contractual issues with Fit For An Autopsy and Nuclear Blast. Shortly after that, SPITE‘s Darius Tehrani joined the crew. However, Tehrani is now undergoing a different set of lineup woes himself after Josh 'Baby J' Miller left SPITE to focus on Darko (US), shortly followed by the departure of guitarist Lucas Garrigues.
Talk about musical chairs! Nonetheless, The Big Six became five and rebranded as Project: Vengeance and finally released their debut single for their very patient fans. ‘CUT.BLEED.REPEAT.‘ was a very strong start and really did encompass the potential of these five heavy music talents.
Four months later and Project: Vengeance have shared their second track titled 'Vessel' which is what today's all about. The second track was written by YouTuber and musician Nik Nocturnal, check it out below.
With gunshot riffs, the vocal assault to the ears begins immediately and is sustained from pillar to pillar. With signature snarls, growls and squeals popping in and out, this feels as epic as it should. With blast-beats circling the monstrous vocal energy, Project: Vengeance demonstrate their potential as a supergroup.
