I’m beyond fucking stoked to be sharing with you the new VIDE album entitled The Parish and let me tell you, it’s a scathing BANGER! I love the grim dank sonic atmosphere that he creates on his releases. Songs like “Kingdom of Fire” are drenched in anguish and possess a depth to them that is transcendental. The pain and torment that swirl around these riffs reek of bleakness. VIDE gets me hyped because I can hear how he weaves other influences in and out of his songwriting to perfection. “Flies in the ointment” sounds like death, but awakens all of my senses so that I can’t help myself but rejoice in the sun. I know for a fact that The Parish will rank high on our EOTY list for 2023 because it’s that good. VIDE really does manifest some of my favorite music of all time. I want to say thank you for allowing us to share this unreal album with CVLT Nation readers! When you blast “Living off borrowed time” if you are not already a fan, you will be once this song is over! VIDE’s music is rooted in real life and the human condition we all face no matter who we are!
