Canadian band Vogue Villains has revealed Built on Bones, a debut album that sets them up as a powerhouse in a dark universe. Review.
BUILT ON BONES – VOGUE VILLAINS
Those are the rules of this record, made partly of powerful tracks, efficient and to the point, and partly of deeper and a lot longer songs with epic bits. As soon as the second track, Built On Bones, other clues are confirming this over five minutes, between its wild solo and chill singing. The band doesn’t hesitate to try and go further, reaching just above seven minutes for Long Live Immortality! and Only Human. Besides these adventures, Vogue Villains also loves quick hits and efficient and memorable bangers. Among them are Wrong Side of Midnight, Halo, Bleed and Taste Like Sin. Other slower tracks are also in, like the hypnotic Pretty Gorgeous.
Whether it’s on the dark Floatin’ Stone, the closer-to-metal Terrify, or the intriguing Needle Tooth Grin, the band never stops sculpting incredible spaces for their story. That story is one of accountability, yours and the one of others. It’s about being the villain in your own story. And it’s about accepting and rebuilding a world. Vogue Villains chose to do so with passion, bones and blood, and Built On Bones is the result of it all. A very good album, human and powerful.
