A Breach of Silence's "Vultures" Video Released
“Vultures is a song about the struggles in life, and fighting through them”, states lead vocalist Rhys Flannery. “Whenever you feel like you are alone, regardless of how great the pressure, there’s always someone out there that’s willing to help. As hard as it may be, you’ve just got to search for them… there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel.” Guitarist Mat Cosgrove continues, “We talked about one of us having a real bad day, and someone worse off had helped us out of this situation and it really put things into perspective… So we came up with the story line of a homeless person who could easily take the wallet out of necessity to survive, instead goes out of his way to find the owner, and then saves his life.”
The band enlisted Col Cadell to direct, who had also done their previous music video for the title track, The Darkest Road. “Something I wanted to do with Vultures, was take the band in a much darker direction artistically, using color palette’s that evoke a cold intimacy while still painting a realistic world. Our shoot location was Fortitude Valley located in Brisbane, Australia. We used low shot angles, with the sky as a background to evoke a feeling of openness, and used high angle shots at the end when the homeless man rescues the businessman” states Col.

AxeWound - Vultures
AxeWound the next supergroup in the metal scene but with
double the violence and graphic nature to their name these musicians features
Cancer Bats vocalist Liam Cormier and Bullet for My Valentine singer-guitarist
Matt Tuck, along with drummer Jason Bowld of Pitchshifter, ex-Rise to Remain
bassist Joe Coput and Glamour of the Kill guitarist Mike Kingswood.
This 10-track release is thrashy built with sharp heavy
riffs with the vocals being screamy when needed and clean when not. The overall
sound is raw yet aggressive like take tracks like "Post Apocalyptic
Party" it's filled with riffs hardcore drumming fury with thrashy
intensity that's loud and powerful. Whereas "Victim of the System",
contains those sing-talk vocals that tend to be highly popular within the
hardcore scene making it more enjoyable when a mosh pit forms. "Cold",
on the other hand is more melodic than aggressive having the music remain
fierce but soothing while "Burn Alive", and "Exorchrist"
are more examples of the melodic sound.
All in all "Vultures" is the work of seasoned
musicians who are adept at their instruments and their roles. Not relying too
much on their past (or most prolific) works, nor do they attempt to be
something they are not. It's a album that's fresh after every listen.
