German thrash \/ speed metal group Vulture issued second full-length studio album Ghastly Waves & Battered Graves<\/em> on June 7th, 2019 through Metal Blade Records.<\/p>\n

Ghastly Waves & Battered Graves<\/em> can be streamed in its entirety via YouTube below.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe titled our second album Ghastly Waves & Battered Graves<\/em> because it\u2019s catchy, cold and metal as fuck,\u201d Vulture guitarist Stefan Gen\u00f6zider stated. <\/p>\n

Vulture view the outing as a step forward in terms of songwriting and execution. \u201cWith \u2018The Guillotine\u2019 we really restricted ourselves to reproducing our debut EP. We wanted it to sound the same, both in the actual music and sound-wise, but we knew that this wouldn\u2019t work a third time, so we sat down and talked about what was missing in what we had come up with so far. From that discussion, the overall goal for our second full-length was to get more variation in our songs, work out more melodic parts and allow ourselves to slow down a little here and there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Production was handled by Marco Brinkmann at Hellforge Studio in Detmold, Germany, once again. \u201cOverall, the album sounds very aggressive and cold, and our producer Marco once again managed to catch exactly what we wanted and mapped out a great mix that fits our music perfectly. There\u2019s a lot of room for all those small accents and hints, but it also sounds very direct, in-your-face-alike, if you will,\u201d said Gen\u00f6zider.<\/p>\n

Performing limited edition digipak CD bonus track duties is a cover rendition of \u2018Killer On The Loose\u2019. Recorded by Thin Lizzy and written by Phil Lynott, its original version appeared on October 1980\u2019s Chinatown<\/em>. \u201cFinding a fitting cover isn\u2019t easy but this track just clicks with Vulture,\u201d reckoned bassist Andreas Axetinct\u00f6r. \u201cYou have the lyrical theme, the ripping riffs and most importantly it\u2019s a great song by one of our favourite bands.\u201d<\/p>\n
