The Vice come from
Stockholm and have spent their years stitching together dark metal with street
level rock instincts and a strange pop streak that refuses to sit quietly.
Their influences stretch from blackened intensity to 90s cultural icons,
creating a personality that is hard to box in. After several albums and EPs the
band enter a new chapter with “The Red Tape Sessions”, a short release that
points toward their next steps under Noble Demon.
“The Red Tape
Sessions” works like a compact extension of “A Great Unrest”. The Vice sounds sharper and more charged, as if
the studio lights were tinted in neon while they played. The production gives
their hybrid style a steady punch, letting the dark metal edge collide with the
swagger they always kept close. The songs feel tightly bound together and share
the same cold-street energy that has followed the band since their earliest
days.
Taken as a whole, the
EP works like a compact snapshot of where The Vice stands
in 2025. Their hybrid may pull from many corners of heavy and alternative
music, however the result stays coherent and vivid. Nothing is patched together
for show, everything sits in its place with the same rough charm that the band
have carried for years.
Score: 7.0
