Old school death metal act VICAR BLOOD out of Ohio, have released not one but five singles thus far, with a debut album expected next year! The band goes into discussion about their music content, plans for shows and touring!
1. Please tell us about the history of your band and its members.
Hello! We’re Vicar Blood, from Cleveland Ohio Based, and we play Down tuned death metal. Vicar Blood was formed in February 2025 by Dan Gates (guitarist) and Vieda Boss (vocalist). Dan posted a guitar riff on TikTok, and Vieda did a vocal duet with it. They decided to turn that into a song, and the rest is history.
2. What’s the origin of the band’s name?
The band's name, Vicar Blood, came from the VB logo Vieda was using for her musical stuff online, which stood for her initials. It also reflects her strong stance against religious tyranny and abuses of power.
3. How would you describe your style?
We're playing old school death metal with a modern twist. It's a blend of classic and modern death metal elements, and we're always looking to expand the genre. We draw inspiration from both the roots of death metal and the modern death metal/blackened death bands of today.
4. What have you released so far and what can someone expect from your works?
We have 5 singles out right now. We're taking some time off over the winter to focus on writing new material. Our album is scheduled for release in spring 2026, and we're recording it in downtown Cleveland with engineers, mixers, and recording personnel coming from LA.
5. How about playing shows and touring, have anything planned out?
We have a special show planned for Vieda's birthday on December 19th at No Class in Cleveland, which is our hometown. We're also planning more regional shows and festivals in the future, so stay tuned for those announcements.
6. What plans do you have for the future as a band?
After the album comes out, we plan to release more singles and prepare for tour. We want to connect with our fans and spread our music as far as possible.
7. Where can we listen to your band and where can we buy your stuff?
All of our music and merchandise are available on our official website, vicarblood.com. It's the one-stop shop for all things Vicar Blood.
