VATICAN is not Black Metal... nor it is only Rock&Roll either. It is a clash between extremes; North & South, Fire & Ice colliding. A perverted sarcasm from the highest order drenched in booze and filth. A synthesis of styles not bound by the rigidity of musical dogmas and their restrictive format. Borrowing elements from mid-paced Black Metal, Southern Rock/Blues riffing, early Metal such as Motorhead mixed with the urgency of old-school punk/hardcore, and there you have it: VATICAN...
