Vulture Industries

The Norwegian coastal city of Bergen is famous for its vibrant Rock and Metal scene. Surrounded by fjords and mountains, this beautiful but rain ridden place would be associated with Black Metal by most people, yet VULTURE INDUSTRIES are of a very different breed. The band explores dark musical vistas with a unique mixture of progressive rock and dark experimental metal. This amalgamate of styles may be further explained by drawing possible comparisons with FAITH NO MORE, MR. BUNGLE, ARCTURUS, DEVIN TOWNSEND, VED BUENS ENDE and THE CULT. Or as METAL HAMMER puts it; "VULTURE INDUSTRIES are one of the most intriguing and theatrical forces in underground metal today: from their music – a captivating combo of prog, post-punk and art rock that could soundtrack a creepy gothic carnival" "Vulture Industries songs are visionary travelogues, as though they’re on an arcane mission through some unmapped, Victorian city, driven by bustling guitars, textured by Bjørnar’s portentous but playful baritone and Wurlitzer-mimicking keyboards, veering off into monologues that are part Brecht, part Nick Cave. Gleefully theatrical, Vulture Industries keep an enthralled audience in a constant state of anticipation and the conga line Bjørnar kicks off towards the end is a measure of his Pied Piper-esque ability to draw you into a bewildering world of wonders." - Prog Magazine
