In 2021, UK alt-metal outfit VEXED emerged as one of the hottest new bands to watch in
heavy music - crushing anyone in their path with their disturbingly honest, highly-lauded
debut, Culling Culture. The album and its tracks quickly graced Best Of lists by the likes of
Revolver, Alternative Press, Loudwire, as well as features and reviews in mags like Metal
Hammer (DE) and Distorted Sound (UK), just to name a few, upon release. On June 23, 2023,
the band will unleash the album’s aggressive successor, entitled Negative Energy. Heavier
and more violent, the new studio album depicts the confidence VEXED have gathered since
their first release, and represents a soundtrack of brutality - chaotic, traumatic and based on
the band’s most grueling personal experiences - while exploring themes of death, betrayal,
pain and grief even more critically than before.
