Vice Bio

Vice are a Manchester based Metal band formed from a shared vision to breathe fresh life into the metal music world and to display our diverse collective tastes and influences through our music.

Our brand of head banging, hair swirling, blistering modern Metal is full of powerful riffs/hooks, time/tempo changes, coupled with an energetic show and passionate, high standard of performance/musicianship. 

Our songs have a powerful anthemic feel and our sound is influenced by bands like Machine Head, Meshuggah, Lamb of God and Dream Theater with a blistering twin guitar attack, powerful virtuoso drums and stinging Vocals

2016 culminated in our debut performance at the Mighty Bloodstock Open Air and we have shared the stage with Artists such as Tim (Ripper) Owens, Blaze Bayley, Collibus, Triaxis, Reign of Fury, Breed77 and Babylon Fire, receiving fantastic feedback from fans, as well as critical acclaim from the likes of Get Your Rock Out, Planet Mosh, Manchester Rocks, The Moshville Times and Metal Temple.

We have already been booked to play Wildfire festival 2017 and Hammerfest X in 2018.

We have built a very strong reputation as an exciting, quality live band and our debut album ‘The Fist Chapter’ was released on 21st April 2017 to overwhelming acclaim from critics and fans alike.

Vice is Tom (Aki) Atkinson, Lead Guitar/Lead Vocals, Jack Trelawny, Guitar/ BackingVocals, Ryk Swillo Bass Guitar/Vocals, Connor Summers, Drums.
