Vastum (US)
Death Metal
VASTUM BIO
Between the sporadic but legendary live performances and a worshipped discography
of modern era true death metal with five albums in twelve years all released through 20
Buck Spin, Vastum has become a torchbearer of the grisly and grotesque underground,
both within its native Bay Area and well beyond. The cavernous density that Vastum
has made a core element of its sound remains as inhuman as ever, continuing to delve
into darker atmospheres; it’s always punishing and with a fearsome momentum. Along
with founding members vocalist Daniel Butler and guitarist-vocalist Leila Abdul-Rauf, the
current live line-up features drummer Adam Perry, heard on the legendary Patricidal
Lust and Hole Below LPs, bassist Colin Tarvin (Mortuous, Evulse), and guitarist Greg
Brace (ex-Dispirit, Wild Hunt).
