The Press Release:

“We are excited to lay waste to North America once again.” – VOSH

VOSH was conceived in 2019 by vocalist Josephine Olivia (Blacksage) and drummer/synthesist/bassist Chris Moore (Repulsion). Together with guitarist Tim Bean, the band draws on influences of heavy metal, goth, industrial, darkwave and pop, crafting a dramatic, sensual sound that blends and bends genres.

The band’s 2023 heralded, debut full-length, Vessel, features standout tracks like “Bleed As One,” “Perfection,” “Superstition” and “Pray,” seething with alluring sexuality and hypnotic rhythm that would vibe on festival mainstages and in backalley erotic sanctuaries alike.

About VOSH:
Conceived by Chris Moore (Repulsion) and Josephine Olivia (Blacksage) in Washington DC in 2019, VOSH conjures a sound that’s equal parts sensual and sinister. Channelling haunting echoes of bands like Bauhaus, Ministry, Sisters of Mercy, Nine Inch Nails and Siouxsie and the Banshees, the bewitching three piece (with guitarist Tim Bean) stirs an intoxicating potion of heavy metal, goth, industrial, darkwave and pop.

VOSH’s debut album, VESSEL, was released in early 2023 to mass critical praise and earned them a worldwide cult following. Featuring mesmerizing singles like “Bleed As One,” “Perfection,” “Superstition” and “Pray,” the record is a dynamic collection of music that escapes conventional genres with nostalgic yet completely original soundscapes of lush dissonance. Led by the inimitable Josephine Oliva, the shapeshifting band thrashes and slithers with dramatic force as heavy riffs collide in harmony with her alluring siren songs.

VESSEL was self-recorded by the band with Kevin Bernsten from Developing Nations assisting on mixing and Magnus Lindberg (Tribulation, Russian Circles, Lucifer, Hellacopters, Frida Hyvönen, etc) mastering the effort.

PiercingMetal Thoughts: So full disclosure before I toss in my editorial closing rumblings, or would that be fumblings since this isn’t a group that I’ve much background on. Truth be told, I’ve not the biggest background on the Industrial and Darkwave stuff so I can’t speak to it with any level of authority but that being said I do love sharing tour announcements lik this one since I know that the Darkwave DJ events pack the rooms of NYC. The group will be swinging through Queens in early October and with the New York Comic Con heading our way that following week, I might not be able to attend the show myself. There is a LOT of prep for an event like NYCC but I digress. I’ll be digging into the “Vessel” album when time permits and as I wrap up the news about this month long tour I wonder what you out there in the readership think about it. Chime in down below in the comments section and I will see you next time. Stay safe out there.
