Bio:

Vatican is a Heavy Metal band from Sandusky, Ohio, originally formed in 1985, and currently active, signed to Sonic Age Records, and recording a followup to 2014's "Metalmorphosis".Vatican was originaly formed in early 1985 by Vince Vatican (born Norman Burke), Vic Gribouski (born Craig Gribben), Dale Land, Mark St. Stevens (born Mark Brown) and Lenny Round. They went on to play their fist live show at Old Brooklyn Tavern, in Cleveland Ohio, on November 14, 1985. Despite being young and new to the rapidly-growing Ohio Heavy Metal scene, Vatican played a 21 song headlining performance and was very well recieved. In their early days released 2 independently-produced demo cassettes, a rehearsal demo in 1986, and the bands first studio recording, the 3-song "Repent Or Burn" in June 1986.Before the end of 1986 Lenny Round would leave the band. He was replaced by Jeff Eatmore, but after a few months he was replaced by newcomer Brian Callin, who adopted the stage name Brian McNasty. In 1987 Mark St. Stevens parted ways with the band, and Brian McNasty took over the new frontman, on Lead Vocals and Bass.efore being signed to Gravitizer Records and releasing their limited-edition debut tape, "Power Is Obsession" in 1989. They then released "Answer To The Master" in 1990, and contributed the song "The 5th of Metal" to the compilation "Distant Thunder: Sounds of the Cleveland Metal Storm" alongside many other important Ohio artists like Hatrix, Neil Zaza, The Spudmonsters, Axemaster, Hostile Omish, and many others.In 1990 they filmed their solo official music video, for "Ride The Lightning (Never Strikes Twice)", which would receive play on MTV's Headbanger's Ball for 6 weeks that same year. In 1992 they disbanded and most members re-formed as Marquis de Sade, while Vince Vatican started a solo-project.Vatican reunited in 2011, and shortly thereafter they were signed to Sonic Age Records. On October 31st, 2014, Sonic Age released the Vatican compilation CD Metalmorphosis" comprised of the newly-remastered material from "Power Is Obsession" and "Answer To The Master", plus some live tracks. This was the first time Vatican received international distribution, and soon after they would be featured in a column in Cleveland Scene Magazine. They are currently active playing shows across the mid-western United States and working on their follow-up album planned for release in 2016.

Album:

Being the living breathing skeptic I am, I had to convince myself. Vatican seems an odd name for a metal band, but it's the namesake of journeyman guitarist Vince Vatican. Vatican, really? Is that a real surname? Indeed. Search genealogy sites in Google and Vatican is found to be a genuine surname in America. Alternatively, when I first saw the Vatican moniker, I suspected that this must a black metal band, using the name of the citadel of Catholic Christianity in a twisted blasphemous way. But no. Vatican, as a power trio, plays old school American heavy metal in the power and speed metal genre. Some more history and explanation continues in the next two paragraphs. If you simply want to know more about the album and music, go to the fourth paragraph. (I won't be offended.Vatican dates to 1985 and remained active through 1994, yet changing their name to Marquis de Sade in the last three years. In the course of those years, they cut six demos, four and two respectively for the two incarnations. The demos would latter be collected in 2014 in Metalmorposis for Cult Metal Classic Records. Vince Vatican would go on to do some other band work with Assailant (two demos) and Big Risk (three demos), and some solo stuff between 1992 and 1995, cutting one demo and, finally, recording an EP, Disturbing The Peace.This probably seems like a lot of history, and perhaps too much information, but it's for a purpose. Vatican's new album, March Of The Kings, while their very first full-length studio recording, is not exactly a collection of new songs. Alive To The Grave is Marquis de Sade (slash Vatican) song; Running and Fear's Garden are from an Assailant demo; and Corruption is from Vince's Disturbing The Peace EP and Opus #9, a constant in his early solo shows. As for the rest, the others are previously unreleased live-only or rare songs, from the band's history. Having never been recorded in the studio before, they are in some sense "new" songs. Ergo, everything old has been made new again with March Of The Kings.Musically then, Vatican and the songs are essentially a platform for Vince Vatican's traditional to neo-classical guitar work. His riffs, while harmonious, are also something between raw and raging. His guitar solos are abundant and immense throughout.If you're a guitar nerd, you'll find this album very guitar-centered and you'll like it. The songs are as equally raging as Vince's chops. Most race along with blistering speed and intensity, with no illusion of settling down. There are no pussy heavy metal ballads here, trust me on that one. Long time member, bass player and vocalist, Brian McNasty's (Savior from Anger, ex-Assailant, ex-Marquis de Sade) voice has a timbre to fit the Vatican sound. He ranges from raw to rough, screamo to shreiko, yet still singing, generally clean. Perhaps the overarching motif here, and best description, is to call March Of The Kings and Vatican's heavy metal raw, brisk, and bracing guitar-driven power metal. If that piques your interest, check them out.
