Looking for a good ol’ fashioned metal show to check out? Stop by The Cabooze on Thursday, November 4th to see VCTMS!
Typically, when one thinks of a “victim,” they think of someone subjected to a heinous crime or marked injustice. however—to a point—we’re all victims; victims to our own actions and their repercussions. victims to our thoughts and the instincts that drive our brain—that double-edged fight or flight response that can take our own catecholamines and neurochemical imbalances and turn them against us. that type of victim is the sort that serves as the namesake for the illinois-based metalcore act, VCTMS. born at the turn of the decade, the group have earned a reputation for their nu-metal, hardcore and hip-hop-infused style of metalcore and contagiously catchy yet devastatingly depressive wallop that it packs.
VCTMS have become an internationally known powerhouse in the metal underground. evolving their sound with a renewed focus on incorporating energetic and frenetic nu-metal influence and starting the writing process for their debut full-length album, vol ii: inside the mind—which was released in March of 2017 to critical acclaim. since the release of vol ii, VCTMS have refused to slow down in the slightest. touring alongside black tongue, angelmaker, last ten seconds of life, traitors, filth, and falsifier while also serving as local support for bands from Veil of Maya and Emmure to Pierce the Veil, VCTMS does everything with the utmost intensity—an intensity reflected in their newest full-length record, vol iii: halfway happy, and is sure to manifest in volume iv, writing for which is already underway.
Joining VCTMS will be Born A New, Our Common Collapse, Rot, Intercessor and Archaea. All of these bands are amazing so get there early and don’t miss a single second of the show!
Tickets are still available HERE!
