I had the pleasure of chatting to Archvile a shy unforgiving black metal band lurking in the depths of Norfolk!
Archvile, originally formed in 2013 and reimagined in 2022 by founding member Jae Hadley on vocals/drums and guitarist/lyricist Mikey Wil-Co. Combining the traditional D.I.Y. values of Black Metal, while adding dissonance and a truly stifling atmosphere.
We chatted about lots of things, their projects and their latest EP "Perpetuate The Cycle" which represents the cyclical nature of life and death, and how it becomes more and more apparent that our function is only to continue, no matter how devoid of meaning we become as a species. The future is in motion like an absurdist cinema, embrace the chaos that surrounds you.
Considering they weren't au fait with the meeting software Zoom, they did really well and got full marks for testing the link beforehand, turning up on time and having clear audio, that in itself is my battle won. I thought they were really professional and especially finding out we were Birthday Twins and Gap teeth twins!
As always I gave Vocalzone a huge shout out, lots of musicians out there can vouch for how much of a difference they make to your voice.
Bloodstock is on their radar and Camden Underworld, there's so many places these guys wanna play, bands hit them up and be sure to go and check them out and give their new EP a listen.
