24-01-2024
Norway’s progressive metal band VICINITY kicks off their upcoming album promotion round for the album ‘VIII‘ with the release of the first digital single and lyric video for “Purpose”. The song exclusively premieres today at Arrow Lords Of Metal. The album will be released by Uprisng! Records. This is also the first song to be released with new vocalist Erling Malm.
Watch the lyric video for “Purpose” below.
Preparations for the upcoming album ‘VIII‘ started in 2020 at Skansen Lydstudio, but further progress was impaired partly by Covid and the fact that, after 15 years in the band, Lykke decided in 2022 to pursue other interests and in agreement with the band decided to part ways. Vicinity tried out vocalist Erling Malm (Articulus, Endolith) at a live show in Trondheim, and decided then and there that he would be the vocalist going forward, and he immediately started working on vocals for the upcoming record.
The new Vicinity album will be released this year.
Lineup:
Frode Lillevold – drums
Erling Malm – vocals
Ivar A. Nyland – keyboards
Kim-Marius H. Olsen – guitars
Pierre-Nicolai H. Schmidt-Melbye – bass
