Vigilance – ‘Enter the Endless Abyss’ (Dying Victims Productions)
Since their formation in 2010, Slovenian four-piece Vigilance have been mixing the styles of NWOBHM inspired metal and first wave black metal to create a crossover genre. Taking key influences from the likes of early Maiden and Mercyful Fate, the band include dual guitars and galloping riffs coupled with an overlaying darker edge with song writing. Their output thus far includes numerous demos and EPs and three previous full-length albums, all of this has culminated in Vigilance cementing a solid standing in the European underground scene. ‘Enter the Endless Abyss’ looks to capitalise further on what they have already achieved.
