Vigil are a heavy, avantgarde doom / death metal band from the Unites States with an aggressive sound - emotional and obscure but also beautiful and emotional. A dark doomy road of sorrow and anger. With two bass players and some influences from post rock, thrash and progressive metal, Vigil are a showpiece of the apocalypse filtered through ears, hands and emotions. The songs range from old-school European styled doom, with an aggressive death touch, like My Dying Bride, Paradise Lost and Katatonia, all the way to current atmospheric post rock / metal acts as The Ocean, ISIS and Intronaut. There are slow tempos to drag you through the emotional pain, and there are blastbeats and thrashy grooves occasionally to spice things up. For fans of Paradise Lost, Winter, Asphyx, Candlemass, Amorphis, ISIS, My Dying Bride, Solitude Aeturnus, Cathedral, Anathema, Morgion, Solstice, Pestilence, The Ocean, Saint Vitus, Intronaut and Katatonia.
