Serious animalistic grit has afflicted Vazon on their latest drop, ‘Rage’. And it suits them. 

I’ve been following this pair for a while now, and it’s paid off. On this newest single, there’s both a confidence and a talented sophistication at play — particularly at times when harmonised vocals and crisp drums are the only contributors to the sound. Blistering slaps of bass and a shimmy of the cymbals lead us in before cut-throat sharpness takes hold. The sonic epitome of blood-boiling anger — along with the stark volatility of the ebbs and flows of contrasting verse-to-chorus pace — makes ‘Rage’ such a tune. A fire-starter sure to get people throwing their bodies around a room live. 

Throughout, it’s easy to detect this is more than a duo delivers a style akin to Royal Blood; Vazon are bolder, darker. They’re right to position themselves as for fans of Deftones, though they border metal tendencies on this brand-new belter. A precision underpins their material to date, but also an awareness for where their strengths are. They don’t over-egg the pudding — instead, they keep every note, sequence and layer tight as hell. ‘Rage’ is testament to that.

If you’re yet to discover Vazon, fix that immediately. Now’s your chance!
