BiografieCalifornia´s Bay Area is whimpering for mercy as VILE bludgeon their way from stage to stage. No one opposes their ferocity and conviction. Make way for a band whose pure power and originality is putting them at the forefront of the death metal underground.

Vile is a continuing vision of brutality, as seen through the eyes of some of the sickest and most dedicated minds in the scene. "Depopulate" is the title of their somophore release. It contains classic material that is solidifying their place in history. Nine songs, professionally produced by band members Colin Davis and Juan Urteaga, deliver a brutal assault that combines high speed, musical prowess, and raw guttural power. This album is not a quick attempt to release a product. These songs are well thought out and have a real sense of anger and conviction.

If you get the chance to see Vile perform live you won´t forget it. They leave a sonic footprint that is aurally devastating. Down tuned for sludge factor but picking sixteenths with ferocity, guitarists Colin Davis and Aaron Strong precisely cut you in half. Strong´s solos combine aggressive whammy bar "Hell Winds", with technical virtuosity almost unheard of these days in death metal. Drummer Tyson Jupin describes his intents: "My goals are to be able to play as fast as possible, but not loose my sense of groove and feel." Those goals are fully apparent on this new release.

Juan Urteaga responds to a question about his vocal training, "Hey lick my Balls, eh?" That sums him up. No seriously, this man has power, and a strong presence on stage. He commands!

The band was formed in 1996 when local bands Thanatopsis, Entropy, Lords of Chaos, and Sporadic Psychosis simultaneously separated. Guitarist Colin Davis rounded up a few of the best and founded Vile. They released 2 demos between ´96 and ´97 with second guitarist Jim Tkacz. In November of ´97 they toured with fellow music murderers Deeds of Flesh. That tour started a buzz that carried them well. In 1999 Vile released the classic album “Stench of the Deceased”. “Stench” combined death metal power and rage with their patented groove. “Stench” is known in death metal circles as an album of the highest quality and conviction.

This year Vile finally gets a chance to show what hard work and real talent can do. Vile is preparing to release “Depopulate” to the masses. A partnership with the infamous Listenable records has been struck.. Worldwide touring will inevitably occur as the popularity of Vile continues.

The debut album ‘Stench of the Deceased’ will be available later this year from Listenable. The brilliant Texas artist Jonzig graces its entirety. ‘Depopulate’’s art was created by the Polish genius GRAAL (www.g-r-a-a-l.com) and Vile is extremely proud to have had the opportunity to work with him.
