Vilify Set Crosshairs on Music Industry Snakes in Vicious Anthem 'Split Tongue'
We are seeing a rise in bands taking a stand against and calling out the outdated standards (and snakes) within the music industry and I for one am loving the open dialogue and heavy music soundtrack that comes with it.First came Redhook with their infectious jam 'SAY', then Belle Haven had a crack with 'Grimace' and just last week ex-Fear Factory frontman Burton C. Bell fired shots with his solo single 'ANTI-DROID'; Now it's Vilify's time to shine as they set their sights on users who over-promise and under-deliver in this thumping new offering.
"Split Tongue' is about those slithery, slippery little snakes that are only out for themselves," explains the band. "The tracks draws from the disdain we have all felt from believing in and taking chances on people in the industry only to have it returned to us like a kick in the teeth. The music industry is already hard enough and once you sprinkle in some rats it becomes a full blown blood bath."
As AmyMcintosh spits venom into the mic, you can't help but feel the anger seeping through the speakers. An ominous two-step beat invokes utter chaos as guitarist Deni Hourihan and bassist LiziMcintosh go toe-to-toe while drummer Kieran Jackson keeps the fills flowing until that tasty breakdown takes us to climax.If you're taking advantage of people, in any industry, just know your days are numbered. It won't be long before you're pulled up for your bullshit and you actually have to take accountability for your actions... unfortunately, that's the price you pay for being a snake.
'Wake up. Admit to yourself / That you don’t give a fuck about anyone / Turn up, just smile and wave / Then accept all the accolades'
