The popular duo of dark melodic metal
known as Vices and Adulation have released their latest official
single, “Have You Ever.” The track is the most significant
release from Vices and Adulation in some time and is expected to fuel
even more interest in this undeniable Goth-rock crew the world over.
With stunning vocals from acclaimed lead singer Lucy-may and
razor-sharp guitar work from multiple-award winner Fabian Upton,
“Have You Ever” is the latest reason fans of alternative rock
have to warm their ears against the emotional fireball that is Vices
and Adulation.
Asked to cite a few artistic
influences, Vices and Adulation guitarist Fabian Upton names a
variety of legends, including '80s giants like Def Leppard,
new-millennium groups like Evanescence and Paramore, and European
melodic metal crews like Children of Bodom and Dimmu Borgir. Perhaps
unsurprisingly with inspirations such as these, the autodidactic
Fabian Upton has been revered online as the 8-Finger-Tapping Guitar
World Champion for four consecutive years, and once as the
Sweep-Picking Guitar Champion.
While this helps one imagine how his
song composition and style of guitar playing might sound, the picture
is far from complete without the impeccable singing of Lucy-may
Upton, whose crystalline vocals have helped to garner more than
250,000 fans on Facebook and other social media, and whose arresting
harmonies – possibly never before showcased as strikingly as on
“Have You Ever” – have been turning heads around the
heavy-metal world.
Speaking of the themes of their new
single, Vices and Adulation write that “Everybody feels pain. We
should care more about our surroundings and the people that surround
us.”
Vices and Adulation was born in 2013.
In addition to her renowned singing, Lucy-may Upton is a published
poet and highly skilled artist from West Midlands, UK. Both she and
guitarist Fabian are entirely self-taught musicians. Their first
instrumental album released on 4 February 2013 continues to be heard
on SoundCloud and other outlets to the tune of more than a
quarter-million plays. Their first non-instrumental release, “Dragon
Princess 2,” followed in March and won the Akademia award for Best
Alternative-Rock Song and gained the group a Facebook's coveted
Rock-Music Crown award.
“Have You Ever” by Vices and
Adulation is available online worldwide from the band's official
website and elsewhere [link provided below]. Fans of alt- rock, Goth-
rock and melodic metal should absolutely get in early.
