After performing as openers for Slipknot and Knocked Loose, the alternative metal group Vended released their self-titled debut album recently. Naturally, two of Slipknot‘s main members—vocalist Griffin Taylor, son of Corey Taylor, and drummer Simon Crahan, son of M. Shawn “Clown” Crahan—are represented on the group’s roster. Their group is completed by guitarist Connor Grodzicki and bassist Jeremiah Pugh. Together with this album, a music video for the track “Where The Honesty Lies” is available online.
We see this record as an outsider’s depiction of the world we live in. And a reflection of one’s self as we drift through life’s emotions. This album is completely raw and uncompromising. We wanted to convey the aggression we felt while making it, and give fans a glimpse into that side of Vended. Welcome to the world as we know it.
