Our Take
Our Take
VIRCOLAC's latest offering, "Veneration," is a wickedly dark and blisteringly intense homage to the heyday of blackened death metal. With their cacophonous blend of guttural vocals, frenetic guitar riffs, and pummeling drums, this Irish quintet proves once again that they are a force to be reckoned with in the extreme metal scene.
From the haunting opening track "Tides of Lymphatic Pulchritude" to the bone-crushing closer "Nexicthon," VIRCOLAC never lets up on the aggression, delivering a relentless onslaught of sonic brutality that will leave listeners in a state of awe and terror.
The band's musicianship is top-notch, with each member showcasing their skills with precision and intensity. Guitarists Kieran Ball and Mark Gillen unleash a barrage of razor-sharp riffs and searing solos, while bassist Gregg McDarby and drummer Jay Quaid provide a thunderous and unyielding backbone to the music.
Frontman Simon O'Laoghaire's vocals are positively demonic, ranging from guttural growls to blood-curdling screams that add an extra layer of menace to the already ominous atmosphere of the album.
Overall, "Veneration" is a masterclass in extreme metal, showcasing VIRCOLAC's uncanny ability to create sinister and oppressive music that is both terrifying and exhilarating. Fans of bands like Behemoth and Belphegor will find much to love here.

About the artist
Vircolac
VIRCOLAC: The Dublin-based death metal outfit that's causing a stir in the underground music scene. With a name that translates to "werewolf" in Irish, this band is definitely not your average boy-band sensation. Led by the enigmatic vocalist, Vircolac brings a unique blend of brutal riffs and haunting melodies that will leave you headbanging till your neck throbs. Their live performances are a sight to behold, with the band members clad in black leather and spikes, exuding an aura of pure badassery. But don't let their tough exterior fool you, these guys have serious musical chops. The guitar work is razor-sharp, the bass lines are thunderous, and the drumming is relentless. They effortlessly blend influences from classic death metal acts like Death and Possessed with a modern twist that sets them apart from the rest. Despite their dark and brooding image, Vircolac also has a playful side. Their cheeky lyrics and quirky song titles showcase a sense of humour that is often lacking in the metal genre. Tracks like "Dracula's Disco" and "Werewolves in Wellington Boots" showcase their ability to poke fun at themselves while still delivering crushing riffs. In a world oversaturated with cookie-cutter metal bands, Vircolac stands out as a breath of fresh air. With their blend of aggression, melody, and tongue-in-cheek humour, this band is on track to become the next big thing in the metal world. Keep an eye on Vircolac, because they're howling their way to the top.
