Rock My World Canada, chapter 250: Vile Creature

Vile Creature is a two piece experimental doom metal outfit hailing from sunny Hamilton, Ontario. They’d prefer you call them a 9 piece blackened doom metal outfit but their 6 cats and 1 dog seem to not count, which is pretty rude to be honest. They take themselves very seriously, as you can tell from their serious website. Vile Creature has been constantly evolving during their six years as a band; from each release to the next, the duo have been pushing the boundaries of their own creativity, and testing the limits of their own place in the world. The band’s latest album Glory! Glory! Apathy Took Helm! received a Juno nomination for Best Metal Album.
