Since their inception in 2018, Des Moines metal bruisers VENDED have always come out swinging with singles chockful of relentless energy and unparalleled ferocity that lit a firestorm of excitement.
Now, finally on the cusp of the long-awaited release of their debut album, the five-piece unleash a level of fury unseen in modern metal. This band gives no F*cks; just pure unrestrained mayhem.
VENDED have today shared their skin-flaying new track “Serenity” and its official video.
The song comes from their pummelling, self-titled, debut record, set for release on September 20.
I can never keep up the pressure
I know it’ll only get worse
I’m numb to all of the pleasures
I’m dying in reverse
I’m getting sick, sick, picking up pieces you missed
I’m tired of the bitching, complaining and shit
If I have to hear it again I might just lose it

The eponymous record lands in the midst of their North American tour dates with SLIPKNOT and KNOCKED LOOSE and subsequent headline run with WRISTMEETRAZOR and LIE.
Commenting on their debut full-length, vocalist Griffin Taylor says, “There’s a level of aggression and emotion that’s missing from music right now, and we aim to fill that void on this album. It represents everything that Vended are about. ‘Fuck your ignorance, just grab a hold of it.’ You’re either with us or against us. Vended is a unit aimed at world domination, and this album is the first step. Welcome to Vended.”
VENDED‘s self-titled record was produced by Chris Collier (KORN) and features 13 rage-fueled tracks, including previously released singles “Am I the Only One,” “The Far Side” and “Nihilism,” that restore some faith in the metal scene.

VENDED‘s fresh and furious sound heralds a new era of heavy music and the arrival of the next generation of brutality. Formed in February 2018 by Cole Espeland (lead guitar), Griffin Taylor (vocals), Simon Crahan (drums), Jeremiah Pugh (bass) and Connor Grodzicki (rhythm guitar), VENDED pushes the limits of combustible energy and raw aggression in every song and performance.
The core element at the band’s heart – in the music, message, and theatricality – is authenticity. VENDED unleashes a bold, honest, passionate take on heavy music and stands determined to raise the flag for a new generation.
VENDED’s debut album is a visceral affair. It’s raw, urgent, and immediately engaging. The band looks unflinchingly at the world and within themselves. Their goal is nothing less than world domination. No compromises.
