Vile Creature has surprised us with a new album, a collaboration with Bismuth that was originally commissioned for Roadburn 2020.
Regrouped for the 2022 festival this weekend, Vile Create and Bismuth have released A Hymn of Loss and Hope on LP and bandcamp, with plans to distribute to other digital service providers at a later date via The Flenser label.
KW of Vile Creature notes:
After three years of waiting it is enthralling to be able to finally not only play this piece of music at the Roadburn Festival for the first and only time, but to be able to put it out into the world. In July of 2021, across two continents we recorded a different take on this song from what we are doing with it live while still doing our best to capture the themes and sonic resonance as best as we could. With this type of weird, secret, surprise project it only seemed fitting to work with a weird label and both Bismuth and ourselves jumped at the chance to work on this with The Flenser.
Vile Creature recently released a cover of Kittie's "Paperdoll" for the nu-metal compilation Send the Pain Below (The Flenser) and Bismuth most recently released The Slow Dying Of The Great Barrier Reef (Dry Cough Records, 2018) and is currently working on material for another album.
