The story
Oakland band Vorlust have signed to Tankcrimes and released a new single, ‘Pleasure Drive’. Vocalist Marcelle Marais, known as Cunnus, formed the band in 2018, and the line-up includes members of Necrot, Dipygus, Bonestripper, Nite and Vastum.
The band describe their music as dealing with the violence, ecstasy, sexuality and madness of being human, and call their style “beast metal”. Tankcrimes head Scotty Heath says he is thrilled to bring them to the label.

Our take
Oakland has one of the strongest death metal scenes in the US right now, and Vorlust’s line-up connects them directly to it through Necrot and Vastum. Tankcrimes is a good fit for a band that sits between black, death and thrash.
Bottom line
For fans of Necrot, Vastum and filthy blackened thrash. Stream ‘Pleasure Drive’ and watch for album news.
