NEWS: Dreams turn to Nightmares for Vexes?

In an age where the waterfall model seems to be all the rage, New Jersey Alternative Metal meets Post-Metal icons Vexes are going against the grain. Instead of releasing a single every month or an EP every quarter, they’re releasing a full suite, a double album comprising 24 fresh cuts on 17th June. On the strength of predecessor “Ancient Geometry” alone “Imagine What We Could Destroy /// If Only Given Time” is a highly anticipated affair from a quartet with prevalent influences such as Deftones, Circa Survive, Thrice and Cave In. That’s before taking into account the strength of the three singles we’ve had so far with “The Dream Disease” be the latest of those…

Commenting on the song, guitarist John Klagholz says: “The Dream Disease is about being too afraid to chase a dream or a desire that you’ve had, only to watch the moment or the opportunity pass you by and then feeling the regret and the hollowness about your choice not to pursue it for the rest of time. We all live with the fear of rejection or feeling like we’re insufficient in certain ways, but to a casual observer things are not always as bad as they seem. The song can be interpreted as someone who from the outside looking in is trying to help ease those fears and offer some kind of encouragement or hope. Whether we choose to accept that offering is the crux of the matter.”
