US Doom-Death metal band VIGIL has unveiled the complete album details for “…And The Void Stared Back,” scheduled to be released through Argonauta Records on March 29, 2024.
“We have gone through some lineup changes since the beginning. Covid was not easy to keep a band going, especially one that was trying to get off the ground. Through some member changes we finally settled in on our current lineup. The only position we could not replace we our synth player. We decided to move on without one. In the studio Craig handled the synth and keyboard duties. During the tumultuous period during the pandemic, practices were few and far between. We were all trying to follow protocols and feel out this new way of life. In the spaces between Joe and Craig started a post-rock side project named A World Worth Burning. Once the world opened up again and practice resumed at a normal pace Vigil tightened up their four songs and hit the studio in the summer of 2022. The four song EP… And The Void Stared Back, comes in at just about 35 minutes. We are a sum of our parts, and our influences are clear in our sound. The songs range from European styled doom like My Dying Bride and Katatonia all the way to atmospheric post-rock such as Russian Circles and If These Trees Could Talk. There are slow tempos to drag you though the emotional pain of Dave’s lyrics, and there are blast beats occasionally to spice things up. All of this is wrapped around a groovy sensibility that reflects the old school Thrash roots of Craig. Vigil is currently active and playing local shows, building a fan base and planning our next steps. The writing process has begun for our next album.” – says the band
