Commenting on the record, the band says, “We see this record as an outsider’s depiction of the world we live in. And a reflection of one’s self as we drift through life’s emotions.. This album is completely raw and uncompromising. We wanted to convey the aggression we felt while making it, and give fans a glimpse into that side of Vended. Welcome to the world as we know it.”
To coincide with their album release, Vended has unleashed a new video for their track ‘Where Honesty Lies’ which showcases footage from their energetic live performances.
