Stockholm-based dark metal band The Vice have released the music video for “Waltz de Anima” – the epic final track of their newly released 3-track EP “The Red Tape Sessions”, which is available now via Noble Demon.
On the creation of the song, the band says: “In our opinion,Waltz de Anima is definitely our most epic track to date. The chorus was the first fragment that was written and it immediately felt like one of those ‘big choruses’ that we’ve wanted to write for a long time, but that just wouldn’t come to us. From the first demo we knew it was something special. It has a majestic, almost regal sound that we always kept in mind when writing the rest of the song. And with that strange, smoky, early 1900s jazz club vibe in the intro, as well as the interlude that evokes the parties of the bourgeoisie in huge ballrooms of centuries past – or a twisted night at the royal opera or ballet – I think we managed to capture that mood quite well throughout the song.”
Track list:
01. Cardinal Tropes
02. Lilies of the Field
03. Waltz de Anima
From the very beginning, The Vice have gone their own way, driven by the desire to carve out their own place in the scene. And this dirty, wild-hearted metal/rock/pop fusion, with one foot firmly planted in the windy, frozen north and the other in the concrete of the streets, really sounds like nothing else. Dark, blackened metal, ferocious rock ‘n’ roll, punk and hardcore attitude, mixed with a heavy dose of the cultural giants of the 90s like Guns & Roses, Pantera, Prince, grunge, Oasis, Neometal, Fight Club, The Matrix and Terminator 2, to name but a few. All of this – and everything in between – comes pretty close to the essence of The Vice.
With three albums and numerous EPs under their belt, the band stands as a confident, adrenaline-fueled unit – a group of troublemakers in the starting blocks, ready to begin the next chapter in the saga of The Vice.
“The Red Tape Sessions” – a striking collection that builds on the foundations of March 2025’s“A Great Unrest”(Noble Demon), taking both the production and songwriting to new levels and bathing the whole thing in a strange, electrifying neon glow – is available now.
