VITAL REMAINS Release New Tour Video
June 25, 2012, 12 years ago
VITAL REMAINS has released a behind the scenes video from their last North American tour with DESTRUCTION and WARBRINGER. The video - which can be seen below - showcases the band's new lineup featuring new members Jack Blackburn on drums and Brian Werner on vocals. The band is currently getting ready to embark on yet another North American tour with KATAKLYSM, ORIGIN, FLESHGOD APOCALYPSE, and ROSE FUNERAL.
Regarding whether fans can expect to hear new songs that are each at least six minutes long, just as they were on Icons Of Evil, Vital Remains guitairst Tony Lazaro said, "The new album, the new songs are shorter." He added, "I've been writing the music since the beginning, since '89. I write all the music, and this is the first time that I wrote the songs shorter. The songs are averaging only about four minutes; the longest song, I think, is four and a half minutes. First time ever. But I tried to keep my style of writing in there — keep the speed, the brutality, the melodic stuff, and also put some old-school stuff in there and some classical stuff in there; some solo stuff, really good solos and melodies. It's everything you'd expect from Vital Remains, but just in a shorter package."

Tony Lazaro - guitar
Gator Collier - bass
Brian Weber - guitar
Jack Blackburn - drums
