VOW “DEATH WILL BE MY BRIDGE” OUT NOW

Chicago, Illinois-based VOW have released their debut EP ‘Death Will Be My Bridge’ on digital/cd/vinyl via Iron Fortress Records. CDs are shipping now but vinyl is still a few weeks away. The band will have cassette tapes on their upcoming tour as well.

Formed in late 2023 on Chicago’s northside, VOW draws from the melodic and emotional intensity of European death metal greats such as Eucharist, Gates of Ishtar, and Dawn, merging those influences with the urgency of hardcore and the metallic edge of the NWOAHM.

Recorded with Greg Livas at Ohmstead Studios in Chicago and mixed and mastered by Spenser Morris, ‘Death Will Be My Bridge’ presents six tracks of mournful, harmony-driven extremity. The album’s cover artwork was created by Juanjo Castellano, with the band’s logo and additional photography by Ash Miyagawa.

Tracklist:
Name Not the Fallen
New Patterns in the Blood
Interlude
Bells Made from Bullets
Still Breathing
Death Will Be My Bridge

Death on Derby 2 was a success, so to top it off we have another show announcement! VOW from Chicago is coming to the 502 to promote their upcoming Iron Fortress Records debut album. They have two singles out now, it’s some hardass melodeath. Really sick stuff. Supporting them, we have the absolute shredders in SPEWED, the local brutes in PROPHECIES FORETOLD, and the youth in BACKALLEY BODYBAG. There’s something for everyone at this show so show out for the death metal!

In about a month we will be leaving for the American southeast to tour behind our debut EP, 𝔇𝔢𝔞𝔱𝔥 𝔚𝔦𝔩𝔩 𝔅𝔢 𝔐𝔶 𝔅𝔯𝔦𝔡𝔤𝔢, out in two weeks on @ironfortressrecords.

In the meantime, we finally added leftovers from our tours last year with @birdlaw.noisecore and @chaosphere1 to our Bandcamp (link in bio). We would appreciate if you considered supporting the band today as it would be a lot easier to buy gas on the way down south as much as we are prepared to push the van step by step to each venue in the name of melodic death metal.

New merch and music will be available on tour and at our record release show at @emptybottle with @barrenheir and @warforgedband on Saturday, June 6.

We hope to see you out there.
