about

Denver's progressive sludge trio, VEXING present their debut full-length GRAND REPROACH- a sonic landscape unsoothing by design. With striking guitar tones, fiercely spirited drums and mercilessly relentless riffs Vexing create an overwhelmingly heavy soundscape with an undulating and frightening ambience.

Influences ranging from sludge acts like Yautja and Inter Arma to progressive acts like Russian Circles and Rush lend hand to their grinding brand of sludge that is both profound and dynamic.

Captured with crisp and natural production, GRAND REPROACH is an enveloping and obtuse experience that will leave you engaged with tension and intrigue.

I saw you guys in Albuquerque a few weeks ago, and please take my word that the entire crowd was FLOORED by your extreme caliber of musicianship. Take heed, Bandcampers, this is a pedigree of ultra-cerebral metal on par with the greats--Ulcerate, Altars, etc.--but coming from the frigid, upper heartland of the US. Amazing maths going on here, friends! nthrainn

A harrowing and driving journey of emotion, expertly dashing between dissonance and powerful consonance (as another person said) in a way that takes you on a scary-yet-smooth journey through ripping thorn thickets and out into a blessedly open clearing, before plunging you back into the thicket in your mad dash. The concept is rock solid, the non-Western scales are refreshing and are excellently hammered into both dissonant and non-dissonant moods, the songwriting is very well crafted. pinkytheent

never been a big death metal fan but this is actually super accessible for the genre, has fun concepts, and personally i'm always a fan of albums with short tracklists and huge runtimes (for individual songs) Great time, good jumping on point for newbies too. alienasu

I had listened to a few tracks, liked what I heard, and then put it in my wishlist where it was soon buried. That is, until I saw them live and they blew my socks off. Really awesome live set. I was very impressed. Now I got this album in a regular rotation. Hell yeah, Aeviterne. seven skeletons
