VHOL – Deeper Than Sky
DESOLATE DAMNED
The new VHOL album “Deeper Than Sky” created via the collective of Mike Scheidt of YOB, John Cobbett of Hammers Of Misfortune/ex-Ludicra, Sigrid Sheie of Hammers Of Misfortune/ex-Ludicra, and Aesop Dekker of Agalloch/Worm Ouroboros/ex-Ludicra, goes aeons beyond what these four accomplished musicians delivered with their self-titled debut. With a clearer sound and production (courtesy of San Francisco’s Light Rail Studios) and more focused songwriting and execution (resulting in Mike Scheidt’s most versatile and insane vocal performance ever), “Deeper Than Sky” sees VHOL’s take on old-school speed metal mixed with classic traditional metal and otherworldly prog go a new distance in solidifying them as one of the most singular sounding bands in metal today.
