-VANITAS-

Vanitas are rising fast in the UK heavy scene, bringing their unique blend of progressive metal and djent with orchestral elements that wouldn’t sound out of place in a Final Fantasy soundtrack; creating what they’ve coined ‘cinematic djent’. The Birmingham 5-piece have wasted no time establishing themselves in the UK music scene with dynamic live performances supporting acts such as: Monuments, Voyager, Galactic Empire & Destrage in their short time as a band so far.

In 2024, Vanitas return matured and dangerous, with a promise to deliver their heaviest release yet. Their sophomore EP ‘Chaos Theory’ represents a savage expression of rage and desperation; born from a time of turmoil and wearing its scars proudly. Setting the scene; single releases ‘Grey Morality’ & ‘Lies’ quickly gained an exciting reaction reaching a combined 37K views on their respective music videos with over 9K streams and over 1K monthly listeners on spotify. Vanitas continue to build their momentum with Chaos Theory’s third track ‘E.D.G’ out June 21st 2024, with the upcoming 6-track EP out August 2024.
