Vended has quickly emerged as one of the most exciting young bands in modern metal. While Griffin Taylor and Simon Crahan may have grown up around Slipknot, the band has earned its reputation through relentless touring, explosive live performances, and a sound that blends groove metal, hardcore, and modern aggression into something distinctly their own. In this episode of Metal Matters, we explore Vended's rapid rise, their determination to forge an independent identity, and feature four crushing tracks including "Serenity," "The Far Side," "Nihilism," and the Mixcloud exclusive "Asylum."
