The sounds of the unexpected and the echoes of the past are sure to ring out through what is to be the next big band for the new wave of metal artists. Vapid Soul brings an unexpected twist formed between the modern era of metalcore, and the iconic sounds of the mid 90’s-2000’s nu-metal, for the perfect blend of what can only be described as an adrenaline rush to your eardrums. Taking influence from artists such as Korn, Cane Hill & Humanity's Last Breath, the blend of insatiable grooves, intricate lyricism, and punishing tones, Vapid Soul promises to release songs that will remain staples in your music library. Formed in 2021 by Dylan Greenhill and Luke Gardner, and joined in 2022 by Nate Donaldson, Dilan Leroux & Dillon Nikolas, Vapid Soul is the product of 5 bodies who have watched the genre of metalcore evolve, while determined to bring their own influence to the sound. Set to release their debut EP titled ‘Heirathe’, Vapid Soul is that band who is devoted to creating the most authentic and honest version of a modern classic sound.
