Vigilance - Slovenian NWOBHM/Speed metal

[Jackobi]

The band was formed in March/April of 2010 after Gilian disbanded his previous band called Rager. He soon hooked up with a local drummer Tine who was also into NWOBHM and speed metal music. First songs took shape - those we're mainly Gil's ideas from the past but some new stuff was being made too, giving a hint to what kind of direction the band would take. After a few unsuccessful auditions Anzo joined on bass and quickly tightened up the sound of the band.
The band named themselves VIGILANCE and recorded a three track demo with Gil on vocals, two ex-Rager songs and a brand new one called "The White Horde". Since then, Jakob joined on vocals, gigs took place and the band is now in full gear. A few months later, in April 2011 the band started recording material. EP Steeds of Time got released on the 15th of October by Haliaetum Records. About two months later the band released a demo/single called Behind The Cellar Door.

Tracklist:

1. Vigilance
2. Out of the Sun
3. The Steeds of Time (instrumental)
4. Iron Beast
5. The White Horde

Oke, for the dudes and dudettes who really don't feel like reading all that stuff up there, just know that.
If you're into bands like the early Iron Maiden, Satan, Cloven Hoof, Angel Witch, Exciter, Tank, Sortilege and such, be sure to check our stuff. You might be pleasantly surprised.

Cheers!

Okay, I guess it's time for an update. The material for our debut album is mostly finished, mostly. And the recording sessions start in august. With some luck, you'll be able to hear a song or two in September.

Our last confirmed date is on the Third of August at the Metal Camp warmup show. So if anyone here is attending here is the rest of the lineup.

The Slovenian occult act Vigilance is proud to reveal the artwork of their upcoming album entitled “Queen of the Midnight Fire”.

“Queen of the Midnight Fire” is scheduled to be released in 2013 (exact date T.B.A.). Ripping with its excellent mixture of genuine traditional Speed / Heavy Metal filled with profound devotion for primordial occultism, Vigilance itself reflects perfectly a lethal dose of true metal, real old school attitude fueled with dark emotions and spell bound intensity.

Prepare for a voyage beyond mortal knowledge.

The artwork was entirely made by by Mario E. Lopez M

The following song titles are expected to appear on “Queen of the Midnight Fire”:

1. Queen of the Midnight Fire
2. Behind the Cellar Door
3. SpeedWave
4. What Lies Beyond…
5. Night Terrors
6. Four Crowns of Hell
7. Poetry and the Gods
8. Under Sulphurous Skies
9. Ritual of Death

While we are still a couple of days far from the release of our single, you can now download our first demo (with Gilian on vocals) on our bandcamp page.
