Fast rising Florida based traditional metal act Midnight Vice has released their long anticipated self-titled debut EP via Roar/RPM Music and the reviews are said to “have been amazing”.
Hailing from the depths of Tampa, Florida’s underground metal scene. With a sound that pays homage to the legends of the 1980s metal era, they combine crushing riffs, soaring vocals, and blazing guitar solos to create a sound that is both familiar and fresh.
They are characterised by denim and leather, with a take no prisoners attitude. The group is heavily influenced by bands like Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Savatage, Megadeth, Motörhead and more. Midnight Vice brings a sense of tradition to their music, all while infusing modern energy that is sure to ignite the flame within diehard metal heads.
The band was originally formed by vocalist Tyler Gray, and bassist Lakota Stafford. After enduring a few renditions/lineup changes, the band eventually brought guitarist Samuel Bean, and drummer Dennis O’Sullivan on board.
Picking up speed, they started writing heavy metal anthems of their own. It wasn’t long before they hit the ground running, rehearsing in humid, sweltering warehouses as preparation for things to come.
