Since forming in late 2019, London’s Vacuous have wasted no time in crafting a sound that is equal parts unhinged aggression and harrowing atmosphere and truly their own. After cutting their teeth on a very lo-fi demo, the band came into their own with the “Katabasis” EP in November 2020 via FHED. With a sonic foundation built on the work of bands like Autopsy and Incantation, Vacuous draw from a wide range of sources, from the eerie dirge like pace of death/doom, the ferocity of punk and d-beat to the blasting intensity of grindcore and powerviolence…all with the malicious intent of dragging the listener down with them into the depths of despair. 2022 brought the release of their debut full length album “Dreams of Dysphoria”, released via Me Saco Un Ojo Records, Dark Descent Records and FHED and sees the band expanding their sound into an all-engulfing display of dark, brooding and dissonant extreme metal, creating an oppressive and anguished atmosphere to underpin a very honest and harrowing record, with lyrics focusing on mental health, grief and other lived experiences. In 2024 Vacuous signed to Relapse Records, and on February 28th they will release their sophomore album “In His Blood” which captures the band at their most unhinged, versatile and fearless. Prepare for a set comprised of old and new material when Vacuous performs in Denmark for the very first time!
