Portugal’s heavy hitters, Vaneno, have returned with a vengeance, unveiling the video for “Necropotent,” the first single from their highly anticipated new album, Chaos, Hostility, Murder. This track marks the band’s first release since their 2020 offering, Struggle Through Absurdity, and it’s nastier, louder, heavier, and darker than anything they’ve done before. “Necropotent” is a caustic and maddening vision of a world that intertwines with our own. We all know who you are. The real necro lords who thrive in misery, pestilence, and chaos, forever feeding the abyss with the eternal rest of the fallen.” Says the band. This powerful and unsettling message is matched by the song’s crushing riffs and relentless rhythms, delivering an intense auditory experience that will leave listeners reeling. The video is now playing at Invisible Oranges, who commented “Portugal’s Vaneno unite sludge and death metal, twisting them together into something that sounds like groove metal force-fed a few barrels of industrial waste. Their new single “Necropotent” doesn’t bring out a bevy of complex riffs, instead relying on a few tightly machined grooves for the drums to pull and push against as they carry the song forward with a surging mid-pace tempo.” Watch “Necropotent” video here. The upcoming album, Chaos, Hostility, Murder, was mixed and mastered by Pedro Mau at SinWav Audio, who also worked on the band’s debut EP. The album is set to be released through Raging Planet Records, further solidifying Vaneno’s place as one of the most promising Portuguese metal bands of today. Vaneno’s journey began in 2017 when three friends—Miguel Nunes (drums), Eduardo Cunha (guitar), and António Tavares (guitar)—started jamming together, laying the foundation for what would become their distinct sludge-infused sound. By late 2019, the band expanded to a five-piece with the addition of Pedro Fernandes on bass and Alexandre Fernandes on vocals, marking a turning point in their commitment to bringing their music to the masses. Since then, the band has undergone a lineup change, with Eduardo Cunha stepping down and Felipe Peraboa taking over on guitar. Their previous release, Struggle Through Absurdity, showcased four powerful tracks that blend sludge, stoner, and death metal influences, creating an aggressive sound full of heavy, muscular riffs and pummeling rhythms. Vaneno’s raw, unrelenting style continues to evolve, and Chaos, Hostility, Murder promises to take their music to even greater heights. |
